“The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,
O cross! too high to be enthrall’d to low.
Or else misgraffed in respect of years,
O spite! too old to be engag’d to young.
Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,
O hell! to choose love by another’s eye.”

Not the right path.
Not the right future.
Not the right present.

From us.

…soft.
…sensitive.)

We’re not in the same place.
