Sacrifice makes love grow up.
children love,their love is impatient,possesive,demanding immediate fulfilment.
grown-up love is able to wait,to share,to understand.
To sacrifice means to put a side one's own needs and pleasures for the good of another. it is learning to say 'ours' and 'we' instead of 'yours' and 'mind'.
Giving up rights, possesion and time is not always joyful. it is an art to be learned,and there is a price to be paid. But the art of giving up and letting go is the most important art to be learned. the cost is high but the rewards are immeasurable.
And not for lovers only, but for the whole world.
you are the trip i did not take,
you are the pearls i did not buy,
you are my blue italian lake,
you are my peace of foreign sky.
