We are the choices that we have made, Robert . You don't understand. Don't you see? Nobody understands when a women makes a choice to marry and have children. In one way, her life begins, but in another way, it stops. You build a life of details, and you just stop and stay steady, so that your children can move. And when they leave, they take your life of details with them. You're expected to move on, but you don't remember what moved you, because no one's asked you in so long, not even yourself. But you never think love like this will ever happen to you.
But now that you have it ?
Now I want to keep it forever. I want to love you the way I do now for the rest of my life. But if we leave, we lose it. And I can't make an entire life disappear to start a new one. All I can do is try to hold on to us somewhere inside of me. You have to help me.
I'll only say this once, I've never said it before. But this kind of certainty comes just once in a lifetime.
