Love is complicated,
Love is simple,
There is no law,
We prefer you the lilac
It is necessary to break
the boredom of the words,
One somewhere else for here is needed,
It is necessary to be true without appearing,
Invent other houses for desires
Know how to laugh under fountains,
Know how to fall from a height,
Get up every morning
It is necessary to leave by knowing how to stay
Stay by knowing how to leave
To Love it is to open a book
To read it another life
It is to accept the time
Indifferent being in the difference
Bear his weakness with strength
Take the tea for two (or more)
And let infuse,
His own contradiction.

Oh boy, Yann, you certainly wrote a poem about love that pretty much sums it up, even as you made it difficult to comprehend . . . but then love is difficult to comprehend.

love is not complicated, it is. Pure and simple. The troubles that come with loving someone? Hell, they are complicated.
