Rembrandt van Rijn's Self-Portrait Leaning on a Stone Sill (1639)

I have fallen in love a thousand times, 

with the wind, the sun, the sky.

I have fallen in love with sunsets and silhouettes, with songs and sentences.

From spells, with sirens.

And with people, of course.

I have fallen in love with people.

Though they are the hardest to fall in love with.

They love you back, or they don’t,

and either way the heart is strained.

I will fall in love another thousand times despite myself.

I will fall in love every day.

If I didn’t, what kind of man would I be?
