to love
is to persevere in the face
of your own imminent doom.

it is to accept
the very foreseeable and
inevitable destiny that awaits you.

it is to know
that only one outcome can
ever be the end of your story.

to love
is to accept that every
single thing, in this damned world,

ends.

and still.

love.

it is not an act of kindness.
it's an act of rebellion.

it is not a sign of weakness.
it's a symbol of war.

it is not a fool's errand.
it's a warrior's charge.
