the crescendo

how much can you love someone?

how much is too much?

is there any limit to which the human heart can go, to which it can keep giving, until it can give no more?

do you love someone and is that it? Is that the end of it all? you hit that high and then stay there?

you know your favourite piece of music? the one that no matter how many times you listen to, gives you that weightless feeling inside? yeah that one.

there’s this one part in the song you really like don’t you? the crescendo. It keeps going, higher and higher, lifting you up with it, until at last you reach the peak and then... it’s over.

now imagine your favourite song with a crescendo that never ended, that just got better and higher and better again. never ceasing, never stopping.

that’s what i think love is like. or what it gets to be like when it really works.

sometimes it doesn’t. sometimes it does.

so no. i don't think there's a limit.
