Love is this human thing,

this animal thing,

that binds and repulses,

and draws us in and

makes us strive beyond 

the places we thought 

we would go.

 

Love is this dual thing

of holding on and 

letting go—for to hold 

on too tight is not love

anymore and to let go

too easily is not to

seek to know love at all.
