“You hear a great many stories about the power of love, but not many people tell you about the power of leaving. It exists, though, all the same. It has to, if you think about it. Love is so wonderful, like saying yes with your whole heart to someone. But if it’s impossible to say no instead, then the yes becomes meaningless. Even cruel.
The power of leaving is the dark sad power that stands back to back with love, just like night stands back to back with day. It’s very important to give it its place. Otherwise love becomes poisoned.
