no, the young rarely see what is, or what is to come.
I remember being young and imagining the gaps in the view of whomever was my beloved at the time filled with nothing but my idealism. Very nice use of the picture prompt!
The Bond of Union
plays in young minds
toying with
what they see
what it could be
never clearly seeing
what it is
was
nor can be

Goodness, how I remember being 19! You've awaken the memory-lane, and made me feel glad to older and capable of seeing just a bit further.

It is, I think, a good commentary on the sharply defined messiness that is love for those who's do not yet know loss. Good one.
