The Wisest Lesson

I met Rowan in a small cafe. It was raining and I wasn't looking for love. But Rowan walked in and everything changed. We talked for hours about philosophy. I knew in that moment this was different. I never felt so alive. We were together for 12 years. Then we drifted apart. I still think about Rowan whenever I smell jasmine. Some loves don't fade. They just become part of who you are.
