About This Quote
You--cannot ever be certain of those you love--that they will not hurt you, even loving you. But to make me certain to love you, will be to take away any love I might give you freely. It is impossible for us to ever be fully certain about our loved ones. We can’t know if they will love us back, or be faithful, or stay by our side during the darkest of times.
This quote tells us that no matter how much we trust our loved ones, it’s impossible to know the future. There are so many things that could go wrong, but there are also many things that could go right. It is possible for anyone to have a happy ending, and every ending doesn’t have to be sad.
