Last Love

Tonight, I watched a movie called "Last Love". The main character, Matthew Morgan, is a recent widower who is trying to find a way to live now that he's alone. Approximately halfway through the movie, he said something that struck me. It was so beautiful, so poetic, so touching - tears started streaming down my face. I rewound the movie and listened to it again and decided it needed to be written down.

It so beautifully portrays how I feel at times. Here's an excerpt:
Sometimes you meet someone who requires all the love you have to give.And if you lose that someone, you think everything else is going to stop too.But everything else just keeps on going. Giraudoux said, "You can miss a single being, even though you are surround by countless others."  
Those people are like....extras. They cloud your vision. They are meaningless crowd. They are unwelcomed distraction. So you seek oblivion in solitude. But solitude only makes you wither.
