Reservations



True love is of course completely unreserved,
or else it is not true and must raise doubts.
However, burnt by lessons of experience
you must as a lover have misgivings
and be more reluctant with the years to take the smallest risk,
which makes you hesitant and undecisive
when you fall in love one final time too much.
But that might only be to love's advantage.
Any love experience teaches you some good,
and the more hard and painful your experiences have been,
the more good lessons they have taught you
which can only be to your advantage;
for the more experienced lovers are,
the more their irresistibility increases,
since they only love the more the harder they've been hit.
This lesson tends to teach us, that the more you hesitate,
the more you doubt your love and have misgivings,
the more true your love, and the more beautiful it will become.

guarded and watchful the broken heart makes reservations with reluctance...yet fools itself utterly when love takes over all reason. loved this bit of wisdom.
