If we mask our feelings, the people close to us are really never close to us. They are always kept at bay, at a safe distance. They don’t see the real person. All they see is the mask, the illusion. And one can only “fall in love” with an illusion, but what one can only truly love is a real person.
In love,” writes French novelist Anatole France, ‘only the beginnings are delightful.’ That is why we keep beginning again, falling in love all over again.” You can fall in love with so many, but you can only truly love one.
