One perfect alignment of timing, chemistry, and fate. One story already written—you just had to find your way into it. But I don’t believe love is that simple anymore. I think there are many people you could build something beautiful with. Different people who reveal different versions of you. One who sharpens your mind. One who softens your edges.
