It's not easy to capture a spark. Most go unnoticed amidst the distractions of life. Often, sparks leave memories which bring smiles or tears—and sometimes both. Sadly, many sparks fade.

Every now and then a spark can linger. If you're careful. If you hold your breath—and if the planets are aligned—something rare can ignite: true love. The flame of true love requires great care and attention to stay lit. Often, we have to stop and focus on the original spark.
