Mystery

remember this, and keep it to your heart. love has its own
time, its own season, and its own reason for coming and
going. you cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason
with it. you can only embrace it when it arrives and give
it away when it comes to you. but if it chooses to leave
from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing
you can do and there is nothing you should do.

love has always been and always will be a mystery.
be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

-poet, "That Mysterious Thing Called Love"
