Long dormant feelings poured through my dried-up limbs and wound through me, slowly filling the emptiness. Like an irrigated field, I felt myself blossom and grow with new vigor. He was the sun, and the tenderness he showed me was life-giving water.

About This Quote

When you are in love, you feel that everything is possible. You feel that the world is your oyster shell, and you are the pearl. However, love can be extremely painful, as well as extremely joyful. The idea behind this quote is that you can fall in love with people, but it’s not always easy to keep them in your life.

You may have to work hard to keep them there because they may have fallen out of love with you. However, if they have fallen out of love with you, they are not the person you thought they were because now they want nothing to do with you.
