[hometext] => On the stresses of the early, uncertain phase of relationships.
[bodytext] => The stage of uncertainty Methinks is the worst Will moves be made? If so, by whom first? Will it be an impassioned kiss, As in Hollywood lore? Two figures melting, Upon river-shore? Or shall it be stumbling, an imperfect affair? Precluded by sighing And a few awkward stares? Will it never begin? Shall love a-leave take? Will the first and the last End with a handshake? And if you fall for her But she not for you Then you’ll wonder why anyone E’er thought this quote true: “Love unrequited Is the highest form.” As you walk sorrow’s streets Alone and forlorn. But dwell not on these thoughts, But on the wisdom of old For men wiser than I, say Fortune favors the bold. Wooing’s but a test One that you must pass So hold her and kiss her And learn from the past.
