Love for someone else can be lost as the effect of singular or multiple outside forces. Examples of outside forces are separation, permanent psychological dents, traumas, and devotion complexes. There are many more, however. But before those outside forces cause a complete loss of love, there must be a mutual moment between the parties involved where they realize that there can be no repair at the current time and in the current circumstances of their relationship. Relationships such as these end in multiple ways, but the end-product will always be a loss of love.

The two parties start the process when they are in love, which is represented by a thick, bold line that keeps the two parties together. At first, love is strong and binding- this is why a thick, bold line is representing the love between two parties. One outside force is added and that causes a fault in the bold, black line. This causes the one line that kept the parties together to become a line made of two large dashes.

When an outside force affects the relationship, it results in multiple forces (side-effects) which also affect the relationship. This causes the line with two dashes to break a little more, becoming a line made of four dashes. The parties in the relationship are not as close anymore, and they are not as bound and connected as they once were.

Soon, all the forces that affected the relationship are realized by the parties in the relationship. This causes them to look at the situation and their personal emotions are affected. In turn, this causes their emotions toward each other to change. The four-dashed line becomes eight-dashed. The connection between the two has drastically changed at this point.

The mutual moment occurs where there is a realization of the situation that has ensued since the beginning of the depressing process. The eight dashes become sixteen- the two parties are barely held together anymore.

For the entire process so far, the two parties were held together, and in turn, were headed the same direction. After the mutual moment occurs, the two parties steer into different directions and the dashed line is broken. As time continues, the parties lose memories and emotions towards each other. The line, however, is never completely gone. The line, in essence, breaks, but the pieces are still there- they fall to the ground. It remains to be seen if the couple can pick them up and put them back together, though.
