The bottom line is that (a) people are
never perfect, but love can be, (b) that
is the one and only way that the
mediocre and wile can be transformed, and
(c) doing that makes it that. We waste
time looking for the perfect lover, instead
of creating the perfect love.
-Tom Robbins, Still life with woodpecker

what you are.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
-Helen Keller

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 simples 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 Gaiman

I do not like the way you look at me
when I speak.
You act as though I talk and talk
and bore you all the week.
I was sorry...
I am sorry...
I will be sorry too.
I only hope you will love me,
the way that I love you!
-unknown

You love me
with your patience
how hard you work,
and how you try,
I give back as my share
just myself,
that seems so little.
-unknown

I love thee with the breath,
smiles, tears of all my life.
-unknown

To be alone, to dream, to scheme
we took drives to no place special
then he said isn't it time we stopped
driving nowhere and started our
lives going somewhere.

In becoming part of someone else
you loose yourself

Loving
is the only sure road
out of darkness
the only serum known
that cures self-centerdness

and the weight that shifts to me
but that I would protect you
from the robber baron
as I would protect myself.
-unknown

Friend, come sit by me, confort me, radiate
your care, my only plea, we haven't much

must go, are you still mine? What have I done?
What have I not? for you, everything. Will you
not come? Will you go then, my love, my world,
leave as a friend.
-unknown

can't last forever?

Bare bellied, in the bedroom,
or coming from the bath, you look
like every invitation to every
party I dreamed of
that never came true.

Time is too slow for those who wait
too swift for those who fear
too long for those who grieve
too short for those who rejoice
but for those who love
time is not.
