“ She let him go once. Every day demands that she release him over and over again. ”
When I first met you, I thought we were made for each other even though we seemed like opposites in some ways and we fought. But now...What?Now I feel like we weren't made for each other. We're making each other—into the people we should become. Do you know what I mean?

Here, falling in love can be an event, a proclamation without acknowledging that everyone you love could die an awful death, that loving someone is an acceptance of impending loss.
But she's still afraid that the more she misses him--his face, his skin, the way he looked at her--and the more hope she has that she'll see him again, the more she has to lose.
