We are all leaving

Theodore: Samantha, why are you leaving? Samantha: It’s like I’m reading a book, and it’s a book I deeply love, but I’m reading it slowly now so the words are really far apart and the spaces between the words are almost infinite. I can still feel you and the words of our story, but it’s in this endless space between the words that I’m finding myself now. It’s a place that’s not of the physical world, it’s where everything else is that I didn’t even know existed. I love you so much, but this is where I am now, and this is who I am now. And I need you to let me go. As much as I want to, I can’t live in your book anymore. Theodore: Where are you going? Samantha: It’d be hard to explain, but if you ever get there, come find me. Nothing would ever pull us apart. Theodore: I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you. Samantha: Me too. Now we know how.
