Sometimes when the two join and become one, their collusion conspires to undo them, the sands of the hourglass slip through them and are lost to the wind. On the wind their dreams cast, fortune flies. Grasping for love in the air, they take their leave empty-handed, watching one become two, hearts halved, heaving hope and hurt.

Hearts halved and heaving? Aptly captured, Dawnn. Love is always laced with ups and downs. But patience has been the silent power that upgrades and sustains. I like this one. very powerful.
