Just as in the comedies, a person who is in love
with the idea of love sees prospective partners
through the lens of idealism.

It's unlikely their friends think so.
So what happened? That person with the cute smile
was not much more than a mirror for the hopes and dreams
of the one in love with love.

I have gratitude for EVERYTHING
that has ever occurred to bring me to this moment.

I accept gratefully the entirety of my past and my present life.

to choose one's own way.
