But let me tell you, falling in love when you’re older is wonderful. The flames of young loved but tempered with the wisdom of age, a love that burns in spite of having been put out before. Gods! It is wonderful to find love when young and keep it, but falling in love when old enough to appreciate how rare and precious and fragile such a thing is? When mature enough to handle the gift you have with the care it deserves while you also feel as giddy as a teenage heart? That is a delight all its own.
