To force is to be perpetually on the alert by oneself.

Comfort is spontaneous between two people or in this case suitability of the words used between the two people.

Reluctance means one just bows out.

Thus, running is all about two people sweating it out.

As many have written, it doesn’t matter where a man can go if he tries: anywhere.

Two reluctant people, even if they work like crazy, will only come back to square one.

A person is not solitary.

Even when there are two of us in the world, I often remain one.

That's really lonely.

You no longer compel yourself, Now know that the love which is so-called will come with feelings of being wronged and end up in happiness.

To sincere apologies, anger and passive aggression do not mix: ‘You don’t have a choice.’

Two people cannot be happy if any of them is unhappy;

All you have to do is decide that it is perfectly acceptable to be single and alone.

You would rather go away slowly alone,

Touch loneliness only if you want its tentacles to curl around you once more.
