You'll know when the dream is over. Your a smart, compassionate woman and you will know.
I knew very clearly when I was finished living with him. There was no mistaking that moment of insight. I'm sure that I'll know when I am finished loving him (in a romantic sense).
But it scares me sometimes that the end is coming - I get glimpses of that end, more and more frequently.
I will remind myself that it will be a new beginning, more than an ending.
Thanks for the note, freeflower. I really appreciate it.
