For Whenever I May Find Her
'Is that how a moth feels as it flies to the fire? She'll burn your wings, honey. Your heart will dry. Don't come any closer.'
- Catherine

Sometimes, love at first sight wouldn't happen and no one could definitely get it right the first time.
Sometimes, your first love wouldn't necessarily be your last.
Then of course, in real life games, cheat codes and, ultimately, cheaters existed. Unfair? That's life. It wouldn't stop at having the one you love and marrying wasn't the happy ending but the signal of another book starting.
Far from the end.
New chapters. Variety of troubles that popped at every turn. Not all rainbows and butterflies. Still, with the one you love.
'And if there's love, you can do without happiness too. Even with sorrow, life is sweet.'
Dostoevsky must have been on to something when he cooked that quotable quote up.
However, the kind of love some were conditioned and aspired for wasn't that enduring. If it's not perfect then it's not worth fighting for.
But...
'You're in love' so what's a little rain or occasional unforecasted storms here and there?
Love triumphs after all.
