we are meant to lose the people we love, how else would we know that we love them?
- from "the curious case of benjamin button"
this quote, the first of several heart-rending ones, has stayed with me for days in the form of a dull ache which eluded reasoning.
after my second viewing this evening, its significance unexpectedly achieved lucidity. the test of loss is the most vicious of all, but also the only way you can ever know if the love you hold is made to weather the ravages of time and life.
what can be sadder, yet more beautiful, than the soul of one who finds, then loses, the singular and only love of their lifetime?
