Do not rely on what you will forever be your own, what is yours then surely you must try to hold on. Keeping is not a lie, but keeping it is not easy to slip out of reach.
Love requires a lot of effort, the endeavor, the reliance is still only failure. The failure of an affair, also based on both the same effort.
"Many times, just hold on to hold a little, is less pain to hurt each other a lot."
