"I love you. Remember. They cannot take it."

This poem was inspired by my favorite book:

If Love Were a Disease

If love were a disease

Would you take the cure?

Safety and happiness

I’m not yet sure

If love were a disease

Under the silver moonlight

Can we dance, please?

I dare say yes, with all my might!

If love were a disease

For being untrue

Forgive me please

But I like you

If love were a disease

Should you run away with me?

We’ll cross the borders and seas

Just to set you free

If love were a disease

Would you take the cure?

I don’t know how this ends

I love you. That’s the only thing I am sure

P.S.: This was our assignment in my Literature class in college. This poem should be longer. Our professor's instruction was to make a five-stanza poem turns out, that's only the minimum required but oh well..
