There are times when two lovers need to step away from each other. Create a little space, fill it with questions, doubt, pride, and temptation. And, if during the separation, one questions the others thoughts, doubts being able to live without them, remains proud of their love, and is tempted to return, they may rejoice with beauty and renewal. But if the other questions their independence, doubts that their relationship will ever be the same, takes pride in their silence, and is tempted to explore, they may not rejoice, at all.
But that’s the risk you need to be willing to take, for love.
