You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.

Reading this book because of this quote.
"I can’t act like I don’t know you when I have kissed every scar under your shirt, held you when you cried and know all the secret places you hide when the world is cruel. I can’t play the strangers game with someone I have known so well that their passing scent in the hallway triggers every beautiful and painful memory we had together. But you? You’re so good at it. It’s like you never knew me at all."
