I never confuse the cost of something with its value
Your future. It awaits only you, to live it and to write it. - Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb
You are confusing plumbing and love again.
The fight isn't over until you win.
Sometimes it seemed to me a cruelty that so much was unresolved between us; at other times, a blessing that a hope of reunion lingered.
One can only walk so far from one's true self before the bond either snaps, or pulls one back.
