basis, n.
There has to be a moment at the beginning when you wonder whether you're in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself.
If the moment doesn't pass, that's it -- you're done.
And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes it's even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your lover's face.
-page 28, The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan.

funny, i think of break-ups in the same terms...i usually wind up missing the idea of the gf moreso that actually missing that person and then the moment passes and you start moving on with your life...
I don't look for love anymore. If it comes, it comes. If not, I'm still happy just as I am with myself. I hope all is well with you. Sorry I have been MIA. I love your skin.
