Relationships evolve. Some evolve in negative ways while others grow stronger, deeper. Each one starts with a spark and that spark can do one of two things: evolve or burn out. When a spark evolves it has the ability to transform into an ever present and consistent flame. Sparks are fun, don't get me wrong, but flames are even better. Flames connotate something deeper, and deeper relationships are a lot more magical than sparks. And yes, I still feel sparks when I look at Alex, but these sparks make up a flame. A flame that I know will always be there, illuminating the darkest parts of my soul.
A lovely analogy!
