The Twilight Phase Of Love

Rating: 5.0

{"The first time falling in love is like a sunset, a splash of colors—oranges, pearly roses, vibrant violets...' ---Anna Godbersen}

{"Twilight is only an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it…This means that day and night are connected in such a way that few things can be: there can't be one without the other, and yet they can't exist at the same time… How would it feel, I remember asking to myself, FOREVER TO BE TOGETHER AND FOREVER TO BE APART? "--- Nicholas Sparks} [*]
… … … … … … … … … … …

These quotes fit together intriguingly to make an airy, ethereal fabric;

By tracing its weave, your imagination follows the course of love.

Twilight is when you visualize that day and night are both present:

Maybe the blending is an illusion, but you have to believe

in that state of betweenness they can taste togetherness.

From opposite sides, they make up the diurnal cycle of one planet,

But only from that zone of betweenness do they see each other.

Thus love's course includes a metaphysical cycle:

First it brings the lovers into separate focus, and then

the focus dissolves into unknowable togetherness.
