When you have reached the point where you no longer expect a response you will at last be able to give in such a way that the other is able to receive and be grateful. When Love has matured and through a dissolution of the self into light become a radiance then shall the Lover be liberated from dependence upon the Beloved and the Beloved also be made perfect by being liberated from the Lover.
Our love was covered in fur yet I was the only one who wanted to pet it.
