On drowning without resistance
I feel the first moment when we fall in love -
the connection is direct - from one heart to another,
no intermediaries.

But with time we start drifting farther and farther away from that.
We get too dependent on the intermediaries instead -
words, physical expressions and physical touch, the beauty of the material world around, the beauty of the atmosphere around, the interpretations of the head ...

And somewhere along all of that -
the hearts just forget how it originally felt -
when there was nothing else in between, no intermediaries,
just two beating hearts - blindly in love with each other.
