Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder Comments

I do respect your experience, but I think that this proverb is making allusion to real and spiritual love and not to the physical one. The physical one can't support the absence of one's beloved cause he'll fall in need and he may search for another partner to satisfy himself, but spiritual love does grow fonder...cause what makes the charm of love is the keeping the it FLAME forever lightened. Only DISTANCE can do that. Only when missing the other, losing his touch and his smell etc...
