First of all Sonnet is the companion piece of Sonnet , and reading them together always is helpful.
Those lines that I before have writ do lie, Even those that said I could not love you dearer: Yet then my judgment knew no reason why My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer. Love is a babe, then might I not say so, To give full growth to that which still doth grow?
For me, the trickiest part of this sonnet is the start. This was the tricky term for me, but to put it simply, Shakespeare is denying that anything can come between be an impediment to true or faithful love. Shakespeare is perhaps saying that if two people truly love each other there can be nothing that will stop them having that loving relationship no impediments.

The two of them caught each other's eyes and defied their parents to get married, and both committed suicide for each other. If true love cannot be show like that, then I do know how else to show it. Romeo and Juliet had never met before the ball because of their families' strife.
When they finally did meet, fireworks filled the room. A magic between them, so strong, was shown when Romeo said, "Did my heart love till now?
