You think that holding someone hard will bring them closer. You think that you can hold them so hard that you'll still feel them, embossed on you, when you pull away. Every time Eleanor pulled away from Park, she felt the gasping loss of him.

About This Quote

It is very painful to be apart from someone you love. But, to be honest, it is not easy to love someone you want to be apart from. It is very much like the feeling of missing someone whom you've just met. You can feel that you are missing him or her but there is no way you can understand how much you miss them unless they're with you.

When you are together everything seems perfect, but when you're apart everything seems odd and lonely. However, it is not only because of the separation that makes relationships difficult to handle. It's also because of the feelings that come with it.

They make us question ourselves and contradict our beliefs about our relationship. So, if we really want a relationship which will last long then we must avoid thinking that holding someone hard will bring them closer or that you can hold them so hard that you'll still feel them, embossed on you, when you pull away.In order for a relationship to succeed, both partners must work hard on making it work, otherwise they will end up breaking up sooner or later.
