In this city, you fall in love at Chester subway, it’s not a
beautiful subway so your love makes it so. But its ugliness
may doom your love, and you know it but you love
anyway.

In retrospect (or: some theoretical guidance for my younger self)
Eventually you won’t have to choose between excitement and stability. Newness has its own inertia, and domesticity has its own fires.
Love excels in its multiplicity. The real threat to love is not an open door, but a closed one.
