I think I would vote for the "that" in line 13 as a demonstrative
which refers to the kind of love mentioned in the few lines
prior.  Nice poem, though.

Punctuation! Yes, a big problem. Editors think they are smarter
than the original authors of things sometimes and distort meanings
as a result, as well as destroying some kind of history. Poetry,
especially, deserves preservation.
