An acknowledgement of reality.
Love's Illusion
We speak of Love,
And fantasize about
The Unconditional.
How great Love is -
That superlative song
We know so little.
We say "Enough -
Our love is enough,
As best it can be.
And let it be,
When so hard we strain,
But cannot be other than true.

Hi Steve - this is right tidy (as we sez in Cardiff) but the last stanza felt a little unfocused compared to the stronger first three becasue of 'when so hard we strain' - I missed the object of the straining! Any chance of a rethink on that line? Hope you don't mind the suggestion! Best. Mitch.

Thanks for comment Mitch, and suggestion. "When so hard we strain" is fine. I suppose only those who strain to be unconditional would identify with the line - and discover they can only be true to reality - that their love IS conditioned, and that's good enough - therefore let it be.
