About This Quote
This quote captures the idea that you will never catch up with someone you love. It’s advice to people who find themselves in love and can’t seem to figure out if they should pursue the relationship. The idea is that if you really love someone, you don’t want to lose them. But how do you know? Maybe they just moved on and decided not to come back.
There’s no way for you to know if your love is real or temporary unless you try. The hardest part of this is having to deal with the feelings of jealousy when you see your lover with others. It can be difficult to understand why your lover would want anyone else in their life when they are the only one who loves them.
Sometimes it takes time for these feelings to go away, but they will eventually do, leaving you with a better understanding of your feelings and the person that is in your life now.
