Doomed by the narrative



Doomed
Isn’t something all the sweeter, the more tantalizing and painful, when we know it’s never meant to last?

Love is the same. Its beauty is because it’s finite by human nature, not despite that.

We can never last. We can never love each other in the exact same way as we did yesterday. Yesterday is gone.

We can’t hold it in our arms again. Soon, all we’ll have of that time is memory.

Let’s make our bonds worth remembering.
