Seconds

There is nothing more magical, more mysterious, more incomprehensible than love.

There are those who believe that souls are split apart at the start of creation and spend eternity seeking to be reunited.

Yet my experience is different.

One on one was too simple for the gods, too unimaginative, too flat and unreal.

It is the loving that is sacred and perfect and beautiful.

Loving is the ability to act lovingly, to grow and bloom in love, even when the loving thing to do is the most difficult one of all.

Because everything else comes in second.
