Analysis of Love Beyond Reason



Love me not for how I look,
for beauty fades with age
and time.
And loveliness is only lovely
till the next pretty face arrived.

But love me beyond reason,
a mystery your heart will try
and reckon.
A love that learn, grow and blossom
when age has claimed its prize
my treasures.
