True love lasts for eternity, and time is a concept which matches that, but can happen swiftly and slowly- and as long as it takes is as long as it will be.
But what drives the true meaning of love and true love however, is that love is something felt between people, and true love being something unbreakable between them that even time and circumstance can’t break. As long as you are willing to withstand anything trying to prevent you from being with the one you adore.
Sure it may bend and test your patience with one another or what is stopping you, but time cannot break or yield the power to stop you from being together or caring or loving one another when you are persistant.
Give it time, and you will get love in return when it is fated to be.
You will see and talk to them again even sooner, but it all takes patience, and passion between.
As long as you are patient to wait for your soulmate as they will do for you, then the world shall give your heart what it desires in return for your virtuous act.
