About This Quote

Quotes on love are often used to describe the types of relationships that are possible.

This is the type of person who will not have a long lasting relationship with someone. Not everyone has the ability to have a deep, meaningful relationship with another person. There are few people who have the ability to connect with someone on a level where they share their souls fully.
