Auden’s Blessing
Perhaps it was time to fall in love at least once.
Before, I had never given myself the chance. Tonight, I had made special preparations, quietly expecting love to arrive.
Only now did I realize that love does not come simply because you open your arms and wait for it.
Life is like that. Often you run a long, exhausting distance toward a single goal, only to discover at the end that what awaits you is no longer what you once wanted.
In reality, stories of princes and princesses are rare.
There are many beautiful things in this world — but beautiful things inevitably decay. The more beautiful they are, the faster they change.
