It can be a trick of the mind. Just try to keep yourself clear of glamourizing what is/was really happenening between you.
You can love him, but at what cost?
Maybe you can love him from over here, while he is over there, doing whatever it is that he does.
Wow! That was so me. I worked and tried and took it because I believed that there was something there inside my ex, something that I could fix and make whole again. A
