يكون المحب باستمرار "محتاجا إلى المعنى"، في حال من المدلولية-و لما كانت المدلولية هي نفسها مكانة الموسيقى، يمكننا القول إن المحب في حال غير منقطعة من الموسيقى:

ربما من هنا تتأتى اﻵصرة العائدة إلى آلاف السنين بين الموسيقى و الحب.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.

Speak quietly to yourself and promise there will be better days. Whisper gently to yourself and provide assurance that you really are extending your best effort. Console your bruised and tender spirit with reminders of many other successes. Offer comfort in practical and tangible ways — as if you were encouraging your dearest friend. Recognize that on certain days the greatest grace is that the day is over and you get to close your eyes. Tomorrow comes more brightly.
