“You can't be offended by love

Whoever dreams about happiness

We are offended by indifference.”

(Lopez de Vega)

 

You can't be offended by love.

Love shouldn't hurt or punish.

Love should only give.

Love must help the grief vanish.

 

 

Love shouldn't bring pain,

Neither with evil nor with hell.

Love must forgive and remain

As a gift for the soul and bell.

 

 

Love causes warm desire,

Love causes the hottest fire.

Surrounded with care

It often could be fair.

 

 

Love was born from tenderness,

Without love, a flower will die.

Without love, you feel the loneliness,

With love, you grow wings to fly.

 

 

To live without love is only pain,

The world can't live without love.

Only love can everything explain,

Onle beloved can say "My dove."

 

 

Love can never offend,

Love saves from suffering.

Real love doesn't pretend,

It'll surely withstand any laughing.
