"I ferried three thousand souls across the River of Forgetfulness, but you were the only one I couldn't ferry over."
"Then don't cross - I'll stay and accompany you across this river of forgetfulness."
Intention: True affection is not a vigorous sacrifice, but that after forgetting, the soul still remembers who should stay by your side. All encounters are reunions after a long absence, and all forgetfulness is another kind of remembering.
