This is something that feels familiar to me. Like, I realised pretty fast, that when I love someone, I am the one who love and I don't have to "be with" this person, they are just activating something inside of me, The Love and it's a bit hmmm ... frustrating or how to say it properly... it's like lovely hell, that I keep catching myself on the fact that I'm possesive and keep thinking that I need them to love them and I don't have to be possesive, as Love is much stronger and I keep chosing Love over this desire to "have" someone. The same what is in my quotation of Rumi.
But ..... Last weeks are terribly lonely to me, or even maybe months rather. I feel socially deprivated but I think that it shows me where my jealousy need my attention.
Sadly I still don't understand many things in English and I feel that I'm missing many things when reading you.
