My love has two lives, in order to love you:
That’s why I love you when I do not love you,
and also why I love you when I do.
Pablo Neruda, from “Sonnet XLIV” (Afternoon), in 100 Love Sonnets, translated by S. Tapscott (via growing-orbits)

It was not the feeling of completeness that I so needed, but the feeling of not being empty.
