Becoming

As soon as the love relationship does not lead me to me, as soon as I am in a love relationship that does not lead another person to them self, this love, even if it seems to be the most secure and ecstatic attachment I have ever experienced, is not true love. For real love is dedicated to continual becoming. ~Leo Buscaglia
