“Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.” (Bruce Coville)
Nothing we love is truly lost, not in the ways that matter most. Everything and everyone we cherish will, in time, move on, just as moonlight slips through our fingers no matter how tightly we try to grasp it. But love isn’t about possession; it’s about connection.
If something or someone has touched our soul, shaped our spirit, or illuminated our life, they become a part of us.
Their essence weaves itself into the fabric of our being, living on in memories, feelings, and the lessons they leave behind.
The things we hold within our heart are eternal, untouchable by time or loss, and they remain ours forever. ❤☀
