About This Quote

When someone leaves, there is a big gap left in life. The two people were intertwined and inseparable before the other person left. Not only did the other person leave, but he or she also took a piece of you with him or her. When you lose someone, you feel like they have taken a part of you with them.

In this sentence, the idea of losing someone is paralleled with how it would be if one were to cut off the end of a rope. In the end, there would be nothing left of that rope, except two unraveling strands.
