Love's Secret by William Blake



In Blake’s “Love’s Secret”, a man confesses his love for a woman. Although all he did was tell her how he truly felt, she left him. Sometimes love is better left unsaid. For whatever reason, love and the very thought of it can intimidate people. They may love a person deep down in their hearts, but hearing it out loud can be scary.

What Blake says is to let love be, and to never tell of your love, because it could potentially ruin it all and before you know it you‘ll be left all alone. In some circumstances, I do agree, but not in all cases. When two people love each other, at the right time, telling each other how they feel is expected. One person may care more for their “lover” than their lover for them, and that can be dangerous. They aren’t exactly on the same “level” which can result in one person being ready to take the next step while the other is still much farther behind. Sometimes people take things too fast and they end up chasing the other person away, sometimes into the arms of another.

Telling someone of your love for them is always risky. You never know how they will react, or how they feel about you. Even if they feel the same, there is no telling what the outcome may be. It may take time for some to realize what they have right there in front of them. Even if you pour your heart out to them and they know how you feel, they still might not know what to do with that. Commitment is hard for some people, and this may have been the case for the woman whom Blake loved. He was ready to confess of his love for her so that they may be together, but she wasn’t. For Blake, it wasn’t worth telling because he lost her for good. She ran away and never looked back, and before he knew it she was gone. To him, losing her wasn’t worth the risk and he wished he had never “told her all his heart“.
