Edit: One of my watchers brought up a question asking a more in depth revealing of the meanings behind at least the first stanza, and how pessimistic it sounds etc. The answer to some of the questions are here:

"To gaze into the beautiful of something that could one day feel terrible" as most love relationships doesn't end up happily ever after.....so it's rather clear that there's a good chance, that whomever it is that one loves and is looking into the eyes of could one day feel terrible no matter how beautiful the moment is, and for a moment such as in this poem, as they are looking into their partner's eyes, they feel that doubt. It's in describing the uncertainty people feel. Everyone has uncertainty at times of love no matter how short the period or how many times throughout the relationship.

"Trust in that you won't look away" Most of those people would hold onto the beautiful moment they are feeling anyway even if they are glazed with that doubt, and for the time being trust that the other person will never leave them because to give that chance to someone, in itself is also the act of allowing the opportunity for that someone to give you that chance too. A relationship has to be worked both ways, but the first step has to be for both people to keep their doors open to the other. Whether the trust is deserved or not it doesn't matter for that moment, what matters is that we give it, and build on it with someone we feel are special to us.

"At least not before your heart slips from mine" Is the last line of the first stanza, meaning to put that pessimism under the priority of something else, and that is to prop up something more important to focus on, than the thought that someone they love's heart might slip away from them one day, and that is everything "before" that (when their heart does slip away). This is based on the thought to make do with what they have and to treasure every moment they could have, and to build what they have to last as long as possible while trusting the other to do the same. And it is with that thought that the 2nd constructive part of this event during a relationship is possible, leading into the 2nd stanza of the reflection and realization of the what is, not the what ifs and what not. This poem is meant to portray the beginning, the middle and the resolution of all doubts that comes to a relationship of true love no matter how random.

There are many lessons but the main one is that no matter how dire the mood of any of the partners, no matter how dark and hopeless, the right thoughts, actions and choices can change everything, and there's always solution to the problems if only we can all focus on the things most important to not just each individuals involved, but both parties. Btw that would be love
