but there were stars, points of light and reason. ...And then you shot

fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but
my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore.
And there was no more reason, for anything.”

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then
subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have
to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is
inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the
promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to
mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night
imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don't
blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being "in love",
which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in
love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”

If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little

And you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots
Remember
That on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms
And my roots will set off to seek another land”

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of
the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of
love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of
your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and
be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a
lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts,
but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can
contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For
the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow.”
