love can work.

someone very wise told me that. but i’ve always
wondered how? what did she mean? was she referring to love bringing peace?
perhaps love bringing healing or being the most important thing? was it even
more personal than that? was it to do with her? could it work for her? and if
so what did she mean by that more personal version? maybe something else
entirely.

yet there is the word “can” smack in the middle of her
words, implying, of course, that it can also not work. so i have also wondered
if that was her message, that love can work but it usually doesn’t. so not as
optimistic as i initially presumed, much more pessimistic instead.
