\nSince You’ve Been Gone…<\/em>
\n “Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole before an immense sky.\u201d
\n~ Rainer Maria Rilke <\/small><\/em><\/p>\n
