There is a beauty in this poem...there is also a deep sadness at the presumed inevitability of the loss of innocence.
If only we could cling to our feelings...they are like dreams that evaporate in the moment of waking.

Thanks Tom, Graham, David, and Uilleam for the lovely comments. I hadn't realized the sadness in it but it's there in the reality of partners that grow old together. Maybe they’re afraid of drifting apart for various reasons, maybe it’ll be Alzheimer's or maybe they’re simply afraid of falling out of love.
