I read a story which used "From here, to there" as a love measurement. Does it mean distance or time period.

In the story "From here" was used when they where happy, with no worries in their life. As the story moved on they had complications, they lost trust for each other and they parted ways. After half a year the one who said "From here" was depressed and on the brick of no returning when she wrote "To there" to the other person.

What does this quote mean ?

Is is possible, especially if the character was speaking, that he was using it as a term of measurement, comparing two long distances to the amount love he feels for the other person.

It would be roughly the equivalent of a child holding his arms outstretched as far as he can, saying "I love you this much."

  • Forgive me that here I am assuming the one who is being metaphorical is a male; I don't mean to be chauvinist, but being raised in the Western tradition, I have grown up conditioned into believing that it is the man's job to be romantic, and put in the effort to win over the heart of the other.

It is about a child's perspective, meaning everything is fascinating, amazing and amusing from both directions. That I am sure of.
