If you leave her, make sure she’s not the love of your life. Otherwise you will meet her one day, on an autumn street, yellow leaves blowing about her, her arms full of her child and a happy marriage. And she will as you expectantly, her eyes gleaming, hoping you found happiness too, “What did you trade me for?”

And you will not be able to answer. Because all you traded true love in for is empty hands and a half full life.

"Life doesn’t always introduce
you to the people you want to meet.
Sometimes life puts you
in touch with the people
you need to meet –
to help you,
to hurt you,
to leave you,
to love you,
and to gradually strengthen
you into the person
you were meant to become."
