//Whatever dies, was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or, thou and I
Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.//

How can we disregard the magnificence of messy handwritten letters,
The attractiveness of bouquets of handpicked flowers wrapped in a newspaper,
The magic of stargazing in the night, lying somewhere in the park,
The mystery in roaming around in the museum, admiring the out-of-the-world art, finding something new in overlooked pieces,
The admiration to hold onto something nostalgic & wretched,
The tragic history of forlorn love,
The tale of forgotten people,
The art of letting things go that shatter the soul for so long,
To wait eagerly for the long-lost passion,
To have everything all at once,
To be the old soul without the care in the world,
To live peacefully for once in life…
