Boyfriend Quote by Sylvia Fox

“Our relationships are like sandcastles upon a shore. We know that a wave will eventually come and destroy it. Yet... we keep rebuilding them. Are we hoping to one day succeed or are we addicted to failure? Is searching for love just another futile attempt to fill our time until the day we die?…” quote by Sylvia Fox

“Our relationships are like sandcastles upon a shore. We know that a wave will eventually come and destroy it. Yet... we keep rebuilding them. Are we hoping to one day succeed or are we addicted to failure? Is searching for love just another futile attempt to fill our time until the day we die? No... I am not crying. I have a piece of sand in my eye.”
