Love is blind, they say–but isn’t it more that love makes us see too much? Isn’t it more that love floods our brain with sights and sounds, so that everything looks bigger, brighter, more lovely than ever before?

Kisses open doors, I’ve noticed. That one gesture can unlock secrets, ease open feelings. It can’t be prevented–these kisses just are. It’s how they work. They break into basements you never knew you had.
