Aphrodite Unrequited
I took Jonathan completely by surprise just when his life was about to change forever. I attribute it to the embers in the breeze and perfect sunset at the party where he laid eyes on me. That evening we talked until the morning without even holding hands. Later, he thought that what drew us together was something immutable and ephemeral, more than the sum of my parts. I guess we mingled enough that night to trade approaches. The poet sought environmental explanations, while the engineer looked no further than his heart. Humans usually mate in pairs, and often trade souls a little along the way. We call it ‘being in love.’
