Getting Excited

This week pushed me to the edges of my ability to cope. Luckily I took someone's hand and ended up seeing another story.

The tale of a love long unrequited, but for once not only at last returned but done so with more passion and depth than I ever thought possible.

Once seen, why do people not continue to notice, see and speak about a divide that seems to persist so silently?
