I Love You

Often said in passing
Echoed without thought
But then the breakups come
and soon in end we're taught

Idle words not spoken
but must be from the heart
So love will be as strong in end
as it was right from the start

Liked the idea, didn't like, 
 
'soon in end we're taught' or 'love will be as strong in end' sounds like you're forcing the syntax too much to fit into your structure and you end up making it archaic and thus more difficult to read, especially in a short piece. Interesting.

It’s often said in passing 
And echoed without thought: 
That we learn a lot from breakups – 
Which can leave us so distraught. 
 
Ah yes, I've suffered many a broken heart! But many people never learn. They still keep playing with the fire. This is a popular subject I'm afraid.

Clearly, but a bit clumsy. 
 
Try, try again. :)

I agree with both ellipinnock and Talisker..didn't really do it for me (sorry!). Well, keep on trying! I've seen your other works and if you make some changes to this one, it will potentially be really good! :)

"Idle words not spoken"  
 
I like it, Eddy. Simple and laden with truth. :)
