Love Poem: Love and Germs

Love and Germs

Love and germs surround us,
United by the fact
That both remain invisible
Yet cause us to react.

We must accept their presence
And protect ourselves, although
They may hover unexpectedly
In ways we do not know.

We cannot let our guard down
So should stay on high alert
For though love may make us happy,
Sometimes, it, like germs, may hurt.
