And do not bemoan what is lost, what you lost will be found by another thirsty soul. And do not mourn the uneven relationship, it was not like that at the time, and now you only feel resentment because of how small you are. If your generosity was a waterfall, and the generosity of the beloved a flagon, is it befitting of a waterfall to deplore the flagon? Instead, say the generosity of the flagon was greater, because it has contained more than its capacity. And all of that will travel to the sea. Spittle and tears and blood and the creeks of happiness. All that rushes to the sea belongs to the sea. And say that the sea which takes all that will one day gather all what dissolved. Those we love are not ours, and we are not theirs. That's why we love them. That's why we will return and reunite. The moments of reunion are an inevitable, miraculous phenomena. and what remains of time is but alienation on the road.
