A fool’s folly you could reasonably say,
and most of the time you’d probably be right.
But I’ve seen cases where those quick marriages
lasted a lifetime.
And I’ve seen cases where people waited years
to be sure their marriages would last, yet
soon were divorced despite their meticulous planning.
I think there’s some luck in these matters, like
winning or losing in a gambling casino, also
like the saying “lucky in love.”
And count your lucky stars if you’ve been lucky
in love; so many in this world are like gamblers
who lose their hearts gambling on love.
