Be content to love, to dazzle in the light, If only for moments… And then be gone, With gladness in your heart, Before the creeping shadows Claim too much your sadness at leaving.

About This Quote

During the course of a long and happy life, we may meet someone whom we love. Then, we may find that person not as compatible as we once had hoped. Ultimately, we may find that person not be as compatible as we had hoped. And if this happens to you more than once, it can be difficult to accept.

Yet, there is no reason to be jealous of the time spent with those who are not your perfect match. Instead, be content to love them and dazzle in the light for those moments only. And then, go; before the creeping shadows claim too much of your sadness at leaving.
