He tried to measure his day by tallying the hours on his wrist. I wiped it off and called him a prisoner. He placed the hours on a scalewith hours from former days to compare. I took a hammer and broke it all. He bent down and picked up the shards of minutes firstthen swept the seconds. I told him he’d missed a spot;there were some sparkling specks left.' What are they?' he asked.' Those are moments, ' I said.' What are they made of?' he asked. They are times, I thought, when you win a raceor win a heart. They are times when you give birth or lay something, someone to rest. When you wake up in the morning with a smile because anything is possible. When someone compliments the thing you hate most about yourself. Times when you are embarrassed. Times when you are hurtful. Times when you relish in a hearty meal. Times when you service others and are content with a well-spent day.' What are they made of?' he asked again.' They are made up of times when we are fully present.' I picked up one of the specks with the tipof my finger.' Do you remember this?' I asked.' Of course, ' he said, 'I was whistling in the kitchen that morning.'' Why?' I asked.' Because of the knowledge that I was loved. Kamand Kojouri
About This Quote

When we fall in love, we feel like we are in a wonderful world where we only want the best for each other. We get so caught up in our new found devotion that we forget that the world does not always work out for us. In fact, if things go wrong, it is often because we have fallen into the trap of thinking that every day is going to be better than the previous one. It takes a certain amount of maturity to realize that the world is a complicated place and there are going to be some days when everything goes wrong.

However, falling out of love is a different story altogether. Falling out of love happens because you have fallen for someone who does not deserve your love. It is a selfless act and this is what makes falling out of love such a painful thing to endure.
