And I wonder
If everything could feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when

Summary
"Sometimes I think I'll never fall in love," he confessed, not looking me in the eye. "It seems too deep, too delicate, too important. And I cannot look deeply, care for delicate things, or maintain what is important."
I think it was then that I fully understood that he had never had a conversation of this kind with his father. How could he have?
"It's not a matter of effort, my friend. Love is a gift, not a burden. Yes, it sometimes brings pain, but it is not suffering per se. It will be the answer to your needs, mental and physical."
He blushed slightly, but I continued, determined to fill this important gap in his life.
"Love is the duality of soul and body. When you find a woman who satisfies both, you will know that it is not a bond of the soul—friendship—nor a bond of the body—desire. It will be true love. And that feeling will find you, my friend, do not fear."
