I thought that love was a river, endless and deep. I thought it merely happened, washing over you like water. It was nothing to search for, nothing to force. I didn't understand that even when we can't control our fate, we alone have the last say in matters of the heart. We can give it freely, even in the worst of times, even when it isn't returned.
Here is the riddle of love: Everything it gives to you, it takes away.
Crying wasn't like riding a bike. Give it up, and you quickly forget how it's done.
I must keep my head and not give in to desire, for desire is what causes women to drown.
The frightened walk away when love is difficult. I know that now. You have to be willing to give everything away. You have to be willing to end up with nothing. Only then will your heart be whole.
