Do I move on and not forsake my desires forever? Do I stand alone and leave myself wanting until death do us part? Do I find something that can fill that need of closeness, intimacy, affection, desire, passion (I've not found it yet)? Or do I stand and wait because that is who I am and I will not compromise who I am. We want to be loved again, we certainly deserve it. We absolutely deserve it. I just want to run away sometimes
I think that you take some of the dreaded Gift of Time and use it to address each question.
No running away but facing each issue so that we can become the best we can be.
