In Love, sometimes you have to let go...to give space for growth and development. It's hard.
You want this person around you all the time, because you love and admire them, but...sometimes....without change....there is no growth and development.
And, Love is dynamic. 
We can't allow our selfishness to curse it into a stagnant state.
I really enjoyed this paragraph from a story written by Caroline M. Yoachim: Tending The Mori Birds
“When you’re ready,” she said. Prem reached out to her. She was his 
dream, and she gave him the strength to bear his sorrow. He could not 
leave her like this, dying, but never dead. It would be so cruel, so 
heartless. The bird, her bird, stared at him from its cage. It was her 
cage, too. She had given him the key and become his prisoner. Could he 
release her? He went to her, held her in his arms as he had done in his 
mind so many times. He ran the tips of his fingers down the side of her 
neck till they rested above her collarbone, and the skin was as smooth 
as he’d always imagined.
You can listen to the story on PodCastle - they hosted the story for Episode 155.
You can read the entire story on Fantasy Magazine.
