Tragedy can also exist

in the husk of possibility...

The chance that the heart might

forget how to love

or even worse - how to BE loved.

To prevent this kind of tragedy

is my purpose in this life.

To care enough

to be a reflection of

the flame within another's heart -

a flame that has not yet been extinguished

the flame of love and of passion.

To care SO MUCH that I could

even describe how that flame might be rekindled,

even if it is not by me.
