Absence is to love as wind is to fire;it extinguishes the small and kindles the great."​

The metaphor in the sentence emphasizes absence. As one is absent in a relationship, you'll miss them. You would crave the thought of being with them again. Although, be away from them for too long, the love would extinguish itself as you grow apart.
