Nothing comes easily, nothing comes without trying. You can’t steal your way to joy. Love is work, but work is all it is.
…
Sometimes we are easy and sometimes we are hard. Right now in this moment that I conjure we are listening to each other, for the pulsing heart of the other, so intently I can feel him on the other end of the line, waiting for me, waiting for him, both of us waiting to know what to say to make it work again.
