Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.

You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you.

Soon we will be strangers. No, we can never be that. Hurting someone is an act of reluctant intimacy. We will be dangerous acquaintances with a history.

hello <3 could you please do a webweaving on losing someone you love? thank you!
Either way, you're not coming back.
For whatever reason, I really struggled with this one. I wasn't sure if you meant loss as in dying or loss as in leaving, so I tried to make it applicable to both.
