The speaker is puzzled by something most people take for granted: why we keep chasing love when it so often hurts. Falling in love is described as a fall that ends in a crash, one hard enough to make us "shatter." People do it anyway, even knowing the relationship might not last. The speaker sounds baffled, a little frustrated, and perhaps wary, like someone watching others make the same mistake again and again.
The poem builds toward its explanation in the last few lines. People say they are "love-struck," but the speaker points out that this is exactly the trouble: when you're swept up, you ignore the red flags. The closing line, "Love is blind," arrives almost as a shrug. The speaker says "maybe it is true," which suggests a reluctant acceptance rather than a firm conclusion. The mood is quiet, reflective, and slightly weary. The plain language and short lines make it feel like a thought the speaker has turned over many times.
