It has been utterly exhausting to love you.

Tan Redding
About This Quote

When I say it has been utterly exhausting to love you, I mean that it has been utterly exhausting to put up with everything that you have done. I have loved you more than is healthy for me. It has been a truly exhausting experience. It is not the kind of love that I want or that I need.

It is not healthy or sane. But, in spite of all the hate and all the indignant hatred which I have endured through my love for you, it has also been wholly satisfying. And, now that my love is over, it still remains as a source of infinite pleasure.

What more can anyone ask for?
