Some people come into our lives to stay for a season, while others for a lifetime.

It is difficult to predict the duration of a relationship. When everything is fresh and new, it seems that a friend, a lover, a partner, and a spouse are all here to play and stay forever.

The dilution of interpersonal closeness entails the inevitability of some departures.
