We pretend we can love without our illusions about love dying, pretend we can go on without our superficial expectations dying, pretend we can progress and that our favorite flushes and rushes will never die.

Yet it is how it is meant to be, and the person of a deep and wildish nature is undeniably drawn to the task.
