“But when I do feel all the strength go out of me, and I fall to my knees beside the table and I think I cry, then, or at least I want to, and everything inside me screams for just one more kiss, one more word, one more glance, one more.”
— Veronica Roth

About this quote
We have all experienced those quiet, devastating moments where emotional weight brings us to our knees—moments where the world keeps turning, yet our own hearts stand painfully still. In this raw reflection by Veronica Roth, grief is captured in its most vulnerable state: the overwhelming yearning for 'just one more' second with someone we love. When loss washes over us, the hardest part is often realizing how precious every shared word, glance, and touch truly was. Heartache is not a sign of weakness; it is the natural evidence of how deeply and fearlessly we loved. When strength leaves you and sorrow takes its place, allowing yourself to feel that pain is a necessary step on the path toward emotional healing. It teaches us the sacred value of human connection and urges us never to take the people in our lives for granted. Let this profound quote serve as a life lesson in presence and gratitude. Don't wait for the ache of 'one more' when you still have 'right now.' Speak your love out loud, embrace your people tightly, and treasure the simple, fleeting moments that make life beautiful.
