Want to fall in love again.

[allsongs]

Only fall? Or stay there?

[orthodoxies]

Well, best case scenario, I wanted to get married.

But I'll start with the falling and hope from there.

[allsongs]

Mm.

It's beautiful, finding that fidelity. The feelings...those will change. That's what people do. Like water, I've learned. Over and over again.

[orthodoxies]

I don't know. I just miss what that feels like. And I'm not sure I'll ever get it back.

[allsongs]

You won't ever know until it is there. That...makes it more beautiful, discovering it again, no?

[orthodoxies]

Maybe, if I had any confidence that I would find it again.

[allsongs]

None?

Why?

[orthodoxies]

I thought I'd found the one, and then he broke my heart.

And several laws.

[allsongs]

Mm. I know that story. Affable rogue, dreams and deceits. Broken promises and incomparable morals.

It is bittersweet, every time.

[orthodoxies]

Hopefully for me it'll only happen once.

But I'm still very much in that stage where I wonder what his actions say about me.

[allsongs]

Your verse?

...Mm... A change in time. The saddest songs are slow. But the songs that people sing have endings every time, because people only have breath for a little while.

When it is the song of you, the song goes on, and the verses change as you do. Perhaps some key changed when you and he parted?

But the song goes on, and changes come again. They will, because they have before.

You may trust that. I know that story, too.

[orthodoxies]

How are you able to be such an optimist?

[allsongs]

Because I have seen and known!

I have walked with mankind since the first songs were sung. I have known them, lived with them, loved them...lost them. Your lives are beautiful...but short. And in that short time, you change so much. So fast.

To you, of course, this is nothing strange at all. But it is remarkable...and certain.

You still have years left, should health and hope prevail. And in the blinking of that eye, so much can change. It is in your nature.

[orthodoxies]

I'll take your word for it. For me, maybe a fresh start is the best idea.
