Don’t waste too much time looking for love.

If you stop and look around, you’ll notice it all around you. It’s always been there. You just need to decode it.

It’s in the single, bright orange leaf that just fell at your toes. It gently flickers up with every slight breeze that passes by, begging for your attention.

It’s in that candle on your coffee table. The one that reminds you of your childhood when it’s lit and sends memories dancing around the room. You’d do anything to go back, wouldn’t you?

It was in the stranger that tripped on that pesky brick in the sidewalk, the one that rises just slightly above the others. She immediately looked up and saw you approaching her, quickly becoming embarrassed. You wanted to act like you didn’t see her brief moment of gracelessness. But you both smiled. You both knew. A secret between two strangers.
