Puzzle

I am the puzzle you spend your sweet time on. You go back and forth, trying to figure out the very edges of me to first lay down the foundation. Those are the easiest of course, so why not get them out of the way? See what my favorite foods are, the hobbies I do in my spare time, the subjects I love to study… Then you’ll start trying to delve your way deeper into the enigma that is me. You’ll jam a few pieces, in places they do not belong, but it’s a process of elimination, right? You’ll shower me with your attention and I will never want for another pair of eyes. Soon, after many trials and tribulations, after many breaks and mistakes, after parting and rekindling, you will figure me out… It will be a night of joy and love and elation. We will celebrate and you will spend many moments only staring at me and admiring the image that you worked so hard to craft. Then, as you have finished appreciating the beauty of me, you will break me into a million pieces and move on, to a new puzzle, to a new challenge.
