A Fragile Enchantment

by Allison Saft

It was such a small thing to be good.

Your existence alone is enough.

But perhaps kindness was not nothing.

Love is what makes life worth living. Love is what makes us act when we most need to.

Even if you were gone tomorrow, even if you took my heart with you when you went, I wouldn’t regret a single moment I’ve spent with you. How could I? You’ve changed me. I will carry you with me forever.”
