Some moments you don't plan on happening: learning old secrets, losing a friend, falling in love. Some times they pass you by unnoticed, waiting years to be uncovered by your contemplating mind. And, when they finally come to bear upon you with the clarity of personal wisdom...there you are, enlightened.
That's was the shape of things when I first realized that I could never fall out of love. You think there would be an end to it. Feeling strongly about the broken, twinned, connection. You think someone would eventually drift out of mind; emotions wash into corners too dim in consciousness to be relit or rekindled.
So there you have it. By the time I knew the wisdom of this moment, the time had passed years on back, in the twilight edge of memory, between a sunrise and a fall.
