Sometimes she wished for someone she could tell about her problems, just to be able to say, ‘I’m in love with a man and I can’t have him.’ But that would only lead to questions she couldn’t answer, so she kept the secret and the pain inside, hoping someday she would no longer feel as if half of her were missing.

About This Quote

The quote is about a woman who loved a man but he was already married, so she would keep the secret that she was in love with him. He loved her back to the extent that he didn’t see her as somebody who had wronged him. He respected her for keeping the secret. All she wanted was to be loved by him, not because of what she did for him, but because she loved him and she couldn’t hide it anymore.
