Connections

Can a relationship be built on one connection?
Can it thrive on one connection?
Can you be happy spending your life with one person, when there's only one thing binding you two together?

Or is it a series of random connections that help tie us to those closest to us?
Is it the mutual understanding that we're all a little broken, that we all need someone to look past the cracks and see the beauty in the broken pieces?

If only one connection ties you to your family, can only one connection tie you to another person?
Or is the connection with your family simply that you're family, and no other connection is needed to bind you together forever?

If that's the case, then why can't one connection tie you to your 'soulmate' forever?
Can it? Or is more needed than one simple connection?

If more are needed, how many more should there be?
5? 10? 100?
Who can say the correct number of connections needed with another person in order for you to make it through the cruel world together?

And could it be that the number doesn't matter, but rather the depth of the connection?
Could one connection of the deepest kind outweigh 50 surface connections?
Who's to say?
