Just realised

It's been 17 years since I first fell in love.

It's been 10 years since I last fell in love.

It's been 6 years since I was last in love.

The years have whirled by so eventfully I have almost forgotten the passage of time. Days meld into the next, night and daylight weaving into each other like gold swathes on velvet, occasionally leaping into bursts of blinding delight, unfurling and unfurling and unfurling until each fleeting moment of beauty is but a distant memory.
