The longing that is love itself

Love itself is an ache, a reaching toward someone you cannot fully possess, a vulnerability to another person's choices and limitations and inevitable distance. To recognize longing as the central experience of love rather than a failure of it is to stop waiting for the feeling to resolve and instead to let it teach you what being alive means.
