Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance.

She has never had practice in making the best of such a condition. Weakness is doubly weak by being new. Thomas Hardy

Ben nodded. "That's what he said."Are you sure?"Of course I'm sure."Beth stared at her son, feeling at war with herself. Nicholas Sparks

Your brain is so full of her it's ready to burst, your body about to explode into pieces. Still, no matter how much you want her to be here, no matter how long you wait, she never appears.
