Hypothetically speaking.

So, one day you realise that a person you have been interacting with for a while is slowly transforming into what you have always wished for.

Let's make matters slightly more complicated. This person happens to be someone you had a relationship with in the past. This relationship came to a halt in its original form for certain reasons but has been evolving since on a different level; it has become more of a (warning: dreaded word to follow) friendship. A well-founded, intellectually stimulating, mutually supportive friendship. One that has survived fierce arguments, too.

What do you do?

(Accordion-player strikes the chords for Talking Heads' Road To Nowhere. Sings the lyrics in a mellow, passionate voice.)

What do you do?

Nothing.
You smile and carry on.
Why hold onto larger-than-life stories when you can have such fun hanging up in the air?

Love is about letting go.
