"Do you think love is about being in the same place at the same time?"
"No, but it helps!"
--"In the Bleak Midwinter"
A darkness grows inside me, in fading shades of gray. All the colors of the world, are slowly sucked away. And I'm sinking ever deeper to a place that's cold and black. I can't believe I've lost you, and you're never coming back. --Stabbing Westward
A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believes in the promise of love, no matter how long the time and how far the distance.
A kiss that speaks volumes is seldom a first edition. --Clare Whiting
A man is not where he lives, but where he loves. --Latin Proverb
A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart.
A woman's love is a man's privilege, not his right.
All my life, all I wanted was to feel loved. I've tried so hard... one angel short of heaven...
All our young lives we search for someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to the song of heartbreak and hope all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow there is someone searching for us. --"The Wonder Years"
Alone I dare not climb, with you I reach new heights.
Always love your enemies--nothing annoys them so much. --Oscar Wilde
Amor vincit omnia. (Love conquers all.)
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch
--Sisters of Mercy, "Some Kind of Stranger"
And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. --Kahlil Gibran
And where we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts,
The chain may lengthen, but it never parts.
And you learn that love, true love,
Always has joys and sorrow,
Seems ever present,
Yet is never quite the same,
Becoming more than love and less than love,
So difficult to define.
And you learn that through it all,
You really can endure,
That you really are strong,
That you do have value.
Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly. --Rose Franken
And you learn that love, true love,
Always has joys and sorrow,
Seems ever present,
Yet is never quite the same,
Becoming more than love and less than love,
So difficult to define.
And you learn that through it all,
You really can endure,
That you really are strong,
That you do have value.
As the rain falls from the sky,
So have I fallen for you.
As the thunder longs to be heard,
So I long to be loved by you.
As the lightening bolts across the sky,
So my heart bolts for you.
As the sun shines beautifully and brightly,
So does my smile because of you.
For without rain, there is no growth.
Without thunder, there is no sound.
Without lightening, there is no brightness.
Without sun, there is no warmth.
And without you, there is no love!
--Sarah Schulz, "With and Without You"
At the first kiss I felt something melt inside me
that hurt in an exquisite way. All my longings,
all my dreams and sweet anguish, all the
secrets that slept deep within me came
awake, everything was transformed and
enchanted, everything made sense.
--Herman Hesse, "Narcissus and Goldmund"
Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love. I'd stepped in it a few times... --Rita Rudner
Bright as the stars that shine, dark as the sky, I know this love of mine will never die.
But I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go. --Sarah McLachlin, "Do What You Have To Do"
But nothing is said of the closeness between two people: how they grew in the shade of each other's presence. No one speaks of that exchange of gift and character -- the way a person took on and recognized in himself the smile of a lover. --Michael Ondaatje, "Running in the Family"
But oh Sarah!
If the dead can come back to this earth and
flitter unseen around those they loved, I shall
always be near you....
In the gladdest of days and in the darkest of
nights, always...
Do not mourn me dead:
Think I am gone and wait for me,
For we shall meet again.
--Major Sullivan Ballow, a letter to his wife.
But some emotions don't make a lot of noise. It's hard to hear pride. Caring is real faint - like a heartbeat. And pure love - why, some days it's so quiet, you don't even know it's there. --John Ciardi
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found. You know, I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking, deep inside my friend. With each moment, the more I love you. --DMB
Calling it a simple crush was like saying a Rolls Royce was a vehicle with four wheels. She did not giggle when she saw him, nor did she write his name in chalk. She simply lived with his face in her heart all of the time, a kind of sweet, hurtful ache. She would have died for him.
'Cuz what I didn't know, was I was killin you, I said a lot of things, that I didn't mean to but I am older now, and I'm in solitude, and I can wait a while, if it brings me back to you. --Athenaeum
Did you know could you tell you were the only one that I ever loved? Now everything's so wrong. Did you see me walking by, did it ever make you cry? --Sheryl Crow
Don't wait for someone to take you under their wing. Find a good wing and climb up underneath it. --Frank C. Bucaro
Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt thou the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.
--William Shakespeare, "Hamlet"
Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet. --Plato
Everyone keeps telling me that I should just forget about him...that he doesn't deserve me. Well, I agree. He doesn't deserve me. But I deserve him.
Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet. --Andy Warhol
For you see, each day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow. --Rosemonde Gerard
Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate. --David Pratt
Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship--never. --Colten
Goodbyes make you think. They make you realize what you've had, what you've lost, and what you've taken for granted.
He can never truly be yours because he carries around a piece of me.
He gave me the chance to love him as I would have liked to have been loved. --Emily Benedekl
He who doesn't deserve love needs it the most.
Her eyes were the color of far away love. --Pablo Neruda
Her kisses left something to be desired -- the rest of her.
How far is near,
How near is far,
If you're looking up now,
We see the same star.
How loud your heart is calling, love,
How close the darkness at your breast,
How hectic are the rivers, love,
Drawn through your dying wrist.
And love, what heat your frail skin hides,
As pure as salt, as sweet as death,
And in the dark the red moon rides
The foxfire of your breath.
--"Dragonlance"
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
I am so glad you are here....It helps me to realize how beautiful my world is. --Rainer Maria Rilke
I don't see how anyone could fall in love. People are jerks. -Calvin
I have found the one whom my soul loves --"Song of Solomon 3:4"
