Do you ever sometimes wonder about the complexity of human relationships? What goes in, what comes out, actions, words unspoken, harsh dialogues, petty fights, reminders of yesterday, hopes for tomorrow. What is it that makes our relationships what it is, what does it say about us, what doesn’t it say, what does it want to say but can’t?
If I were to describe human relationships with one word, I’d have to say fragile. In one moment, one glance, one kiss, one seemingly harmless exchange, one lamentable-but-oh-so-fucking hot instant, we’re reduced to the transient flakes of snow that melt into water, the shooting star that disappears in a blink of an eye, the lagrimas del oro that fade down our cheeks as we cry.
It’s tempting, but I don’t think I’d want it any other way. To know that I hold something so delicate, so brittle, so breakable in my hand, in my heart, I’d be sure to take the best care of it, to nurture its growth, to foster its want, its need, its desires. It’s scary though, to think, that in just one moment, one heartbeat, everything you’ve ever wanted, is gone.
And then…it starts again.

e vere, erika, what you say is so true, but what the fascinating thing is, is that even though rships are so easily made and lost, some are enduring beyond what we can grasp, they have a power all their own... that's how i feel about my connection with you =) what could possibly take this friendship away from me! it gives me security. (hehe now that i have exposed myself i will fail to leave my name. but you know who i am.)
