Love alone isn’t reason enough to withstand a million duller blows to the heart a day as you wait for the day that you will part with your SO, just to keep them in your life another day longer. Love alone isn’t reason enough to override your brain’s warnings of why it is time. Love alone isn’t reason enough to hold someone back from going off on their own, from being the main character of their lives. Love alone isn’t reason enough to avoid the growth that is in store for you, the calls you are hearing to come home to yourself.
