[Tex/LaTex] Prevent Abstract from using a full page

Question

I am trying to prevent the abstract from taking up a full page while also using [titlepage]. LaTeX seems to ignore any non-breaking newlines or other formatting directives and places the abstract on a new page regardless.

Using [notitlepage] is unfortunately not an option as I understand, as that leaves the title in its usual size, alignment and formatting and does not give me the beautiful [titlepage] full size title page.

here is a short example to show what I mean:

\documentclass[titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\title{Test}
\author{me}

\maketitle

% pagebreak produced here

\begin{abstract}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}

% unwanted pagebreak produced here

\section{section}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{document}

Since suppressing the titlepage class option is not desired, one can redefine abstract:

\documentclass[titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{abstract}{%
      %\titlepage
      %\null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
      \begin{center}%
        \bfseries \abstractname
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      \end{center}}%
     {\par%\vfil\null\endtitlepage
     }
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\title{Test}
\author{me}

\maketitle

% pagebreak produced here

\begin{abstract}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}

% unwanted pagebreak produced here

\section{section}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{document}

When the titlepage option is in action, the abstract is not typeset in a quotation environment using \small font; if you want this, the redefinition is:

\documentclass[titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{abstract}{%
      %\titlepage
      %\null\vfil
      \@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
      \small
      \begin{center}%
        \bfseries \abstractname
        \@endparpenalty\@M
      \end{center}\quotation}%
     {\quotation\par%\vfil\null\endtitlepage
     }
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\title{Test}
\author{me}

\maketitle

% pagebreak produced here

\begin{abstract}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{abstract}

% unwanted pagebreak produced here

\section{section}
        \lipsum[1]
\end{document}
