Throughout the entire poem, each sentence in each stanza is referring to love. The first stanza starts by explaining how love is so easily felt and so small. It is stated in such a way to question the importance and significance of love. He was obviously in love but couldn’t understand how it could so easily be shared. He states “to you simply, from me I mean” which is explaining the love he has so carefully given away but has been received in such a simple and almost careless way. He feels so strongly about his love and believes that it should only be given to that one soul mate. This passion is completely contradicted with the simplicity of receiving such emotion which is why it is so frustrating how easily love is passed around by others. The rhyming in the fourth and sixth sentences between “because between” and “from me I mean”, separates the stanza into two parts. This indicates a subtle difference in the first few sentences compared with the last few of the stanza.
In the second stanza, the first sentence states “who goes with who” which outlines the entire purpose of this stanza. He is trying to say that there is no evidence to indicate whether one has truly found their match therefore how can anyone be sure? He is possibly starting to doubt the love he feels although he feels so strongly. This doubt creates extreme uncertainty and insecurity. As well as in the first stanza, the rhyming gives a grouping effect as the first four lines rhyme in couplets in order to group them together. This leaves the last two lines which almost rhyme but are still quite different.
The last stanza is talking about fate. It explains that regardless of one’s insecurities, fate will make sure that everything turns out right. It is trying to imply that whatever is said or done, was supposed to occur as it is all an act of fate. When it states “nor the speech rewritten, nor one word forgotten”, it means that whatever you say can’t be taken back or ‘rewritten’ and every word said will be remembered but it also refers to fate in the way that fate cannot be rewritten because everything happens for a reason. The sentences “said at the start, about heart, by heart, for heart”, are explaining that fate occurs within every word said about love, said by someone who is in love or for someone else’s heart. These sentences are also grouped using the same affect occurring throughout each stanza.
