Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings- all in the same relationship. Unknown
About This Quote

When you love somebody, you are dying to let them know about your feelings. You are dying to be yourself with them. You are dying to let them know how much they mean to you. But what if they don’t love you back? What if your relationship is on the rocks? What if they decide to break up with you? Love means that you have to endure many different endings, but it also means that you have many different beginnings.

You have to be willing to let go of one love only to embrace another. And the beauty of it all is that you get a second chance, just like the first time around.
