About This Quote
When two people love one another, they want to spend every moment together. That's what makes them so great to begin with. But, when you are in deep in love, you have to have time for your partner. Even when you are busy with work or schoolwork, there are still things that must be done.
And when the love is gone, you start to see all the little things that were wrong. When you're in love, you can do about anything together...because you know that your partner loves you. When you aren't in love anymore...you start to feel like you need something else in order to make up for what was lost.
This quote is about how quickly our priorities change once we lose the people we care for most.
