to define such emotion in one word, is to accept the possibility of such connection as a given situation, not as something one can, and therefore must, change; when we love somebody, but can not be with them because of distance, difference, storms or fires, we are sad; but we still love. do not pity us: our heart may bleed, our eyes may gleam with tears, yet think of our sadness as just another form of happiness. i smile when you smile. i cry when you cry. because i love. because this is the way.
