Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
Love does not demand its own way.
Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.

It is never glad about injustice,
But rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never loses faith,
Is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. ~Corinthians (Chapter 13 - The Love Chapter) Bible Verse


"I have compared thee,
O my love, to a company of horse

thy neck with chains of gold." ~Song of Solomon 1:9-10

ROMANCE

"I think a lot of people don’t understand what real romance is. Anyone can buy flowers, candy and jewelry. The truly romantic things in life are those little things you do every day to show you care, and that you’re thinking of them. It’s going out of your way to make them happy. The way you hold her hand when you know she’s scared, or you save the last piece of cake for him. The random text or call in the middle of the day, just to say “I love you” or “I miss you”. The way he stops to kiss you when he passes by. It’s dedicating her favorite song to her, and letting her eat your fries; telling her she’s beautiful. It’s putting your favorite show on pause so she can tell you about her day, and laughing at his jokes, even the really lame ones. It’s slow dancing in the kitchen and kissing in the rain. Romance isn’t about buying, it’s about giving. True romance is in gestures." ~Anon

"Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet."
~William Shakespeare

"Love's eternity
Who shines so bright
In all the songs of Love's unending spells.
Holy lightning strikes all that's evil
Teaching us to love for goodness sake.
Hear the music of Love Eternal
Teaching us to reach for goodness sake."
~Jon Anderson



"Love is the emblem of eternity;
it confounds all notions of time;
effaces all memory of beginning,
all fear of an end."

"Love is something you and I must have.
We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it.
We must have it because without it, we become weak and faint.
Without love, our self-esteem weakens.
Without it, our courage fails.
Without love, we can no longer look out confidently at the world.
We turn inward and begin to feed upon our own personalities,
and little by little we destroy ourselves." ~Chief Dan George (1899 - 1981)

♥ྀ

"Love is when you miss him even before he's gone,
When you could listen to him talk all night,
And never get tired of hearing his voice,
When the sound of his name sends chills down your spine,
And when you see his smile the second you close your eyes!
~ Adriene Auckerman ~

"Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear." ~From Maurice Ware
