They say all’s fair in love and war

That’s not actually true

There are rules that govern war, like conventions that people follow. Unspoken rules

About not attacking women and children or the unarmed for example

But if you break a law of war then you’re not given any mercy

So if there are rules to war maybe there are rules to love

If there are I must have broken them

I might have gone too far this time

More than a mind and heart should give

And you,

Show no mercy
