We meet someone and we love them quickly. These days, love is quick to get and even faster to lose. Blame it on the loneliness maybe. It's the cell phones and the keyboards and the jobs and the webcams and the missed connections and all of the other things that prevent us from actually being with someone, nestled in their nook, and rubbing their skin. So when we get a glimmer of stability, when we are able to see the nook and lazy sunday breakfasts and vacations and meeting the parents, we seize it. We tell our friends over drinks that this person might be the one and then we show them the text messages that support that idea. "No, but like, did you read that text? We're getting married, obviously." We consume people too quickly. We don't take time to chew and break it down, and then we act surprised when we get stomachaches. Today we fall in love more than ever but we have nothing to show it. Maybe a text, maybe a picture of a hard cock, a collection of their favorite songs. Surface stuff. The guts of a person is left with them. We never saw it anyway.
