Love
Remember that you don't choose love.
Love chooses you.
All you can really do
Is accept it for all its mystery
when it comes into your life.
Feel the way it fills you to overflowing,
Then reach out and give it away.
Give it back to the person
Who brought it alive in you.
Give it to others
Who deem it poor in spirit.
Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.

When my day seems dreary,
With rain soon to follow.
When the pit of my stomach
Feels lonely and hollow.
When the plans I have made,
Seem to turn against me.
Your strong loving arms
Are a safe place to be.
You let me snuggle,
All toasty and warm.
You build me a haven
Away from life's storm.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
--Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I guarantee it wont be easy.
I guarantee that at one point or another
One of us is going to want to leave.
But I also guarantee that
If I don't ask you to be mine
I am going to regret it
For the rest of my life
Because I know in my heart
You are the only one for me
-From the movie The Runaway Bride
~If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't love you, If I didn't love you, I wouldn't miss you. But I did, I do, and I will~

To make a man of her son,
And another woman twenty minutes
To make a fool of him

"Creation of Woman from the rib of Man:
She was not made from his head to top him;
nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him;
but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected,
and near his heart to be loved."

But into my heart;
It was not my lips you kissed,
But my soul.

"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."
- Sir Hugh Walpoe

-William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
That's how men are!
Ungrateful and never satisfied
When you don't have them,
they hate you because you won't.
And when you do have them,
they hate you again, for some reason.
Or for no reason at all,
except that they are discontented children,
And can't be satisfied whatever they get,
let a woman do what she may.
-D. H. Lawrence
If I know what love is, it is because of you.

For hearing my thoughts,
understanding my dreams
and being my best friend...
For filling my life with joy
and loving me without end...
I do.

"Love can take you hostage."
- Sugar Ray
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Love is content with the present, it hopes for the future, and it does not brood over the past. It's the day-in and day-out chronicle of irritations, problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories and working toward common goals.
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
-Ann Landers (4-4-97)
'Within you, I lose myself;
Without you, I find myself,
searching to be lost again.'
-Unknown
Almost all married people fight, although many are ashamed to admit it. Actually a marriage in which no quarreling at all takes place may well be one that is dead or dying from emotional undernourishment. If you care, you probably fight.
-- Flora Davis
The first duty of love - is to listen
-Paul Tillich
Have you ever been in love?
Horrible, isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable.
It opens your chest
And it opens your heart
And it means someone can get inside you
And mess you up.
You build up all these defenses.
You build up this whole armor,
For years, so nothing can hurt you,
Then one stupid person,
No different from any other stupid person,
Wanders into your stupid life...
You give them a piece of you.
They don't ask for it.
They do something dumb one day
Like kiss you, or smile at you,
And then your life isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostages. It gets inside you.
It eats you out and leaves you
Crying in the darkness,
So a simple phrase like
'Maybe we should just be friends'
Or 'how very perceptive'
Turns into a glass splinter
Working its way into your heart.
It hurts.
Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind.
It's a soul-hurt,
A body-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.
>Rose Walker, in Sandman: The Kindly Ones
By Neil Gaman
"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself, or, more correctly, being loved in spite of yourself."
-Victor Hugo
Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
-Shakespeare
"There is always some madness in love. But there is always some reason in madness."
(Neitzsche,"On reading and writing")
"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our trust selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life."
-Leslie Parrish in _The Bridge Across Forever: a Love Story_ by Richard Bach
Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
- Shakespeare

"You've got to dance like nobody's watching and love like it's never going to hurt"

You ask about my conscience
And I'll offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what its like to sing songs in the rain
Well I've seen love come
I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain.
-Bon Jovi
