“You
must learn her.
You
must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You
must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how
long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is
about to.
You
must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she
is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And,
this is how you keep her.”
