i have always been more interested in gaining understanding than in being understood, which is probably why I’ve never been one who clings to others. solitude being both a teacher and a close friend, it’s small wonder that I would quietly drift away from the raucous comforts of crowded harbors and seek uncharted isles instead.
if a strange current should flow us back together one day, know that the joy on my face is real; but if the winds of fate never devise such a current, then just know that the love I hold in my heart for you is equally so.
