251: Rose-Tinted Clichés

And so we're here. Now what?

I look at you. You're smiling.

Now what? I ask again.

We'll figure it out, you say.

That's scary.

You laugh. So what?

It's intoxicating, this feeling,

like we can conquer the world

with clichés and rose-tinted metaphors,

as we write ourselves into the long line of lovers

that came before and will follow after.
