Sonnet #116

Sonnet number 116 is my personal favorite thus far. The speaker is saying in the first two lines that they don't want to acknowledge any reason as to why two people who truly love each other shouldn't be together. Because love doesn't falter; it doesn't change by the hour. If it's true, than it's stable and everlasting. The speaker also personifies Time again. They say love is not dependent on Time, but Time has the power to diminish youth and good looks. In the couplet I think the speaker is saying that if they're wrong then "they have never wrote, and no man has ever loved." This is saying that they think it would be absurd and turn the tables if their predictions regarding love turned out false. It seems like the sonnet is written in clarification of what the speaker thinks of love, but fears that this may be proven wrong. They are not unsure of themselves though as this was written.
