what an icebox heart I've been given

[tsubame]

A random person on Facebook wrote some sort of happy update about her joy in arranging her wedding. I read it and shrugged. How strange, I thought to myself. I didn't understand.

I didn't understand.

I . . . can think of no time when I have loved and it has brought me pure and absolute joy. Every time I have thought, I love you, it has always been tinged with a knowledge of loss, of the ephemeral. I love you, and we will part. I love you, and this moment will pass. I love you, and soon you will go, soon I will go.

Love may last, but happiness does not.

But wonderful that you have found it-- as a cynic you can know that not many do, and treasure it all the more. And I'm glad that it was you, even if it does mean you're in for some scary real-life grown-up crap. :-)
