Love…
…puts an unavoidable craving toward another into mind, heart and soul; a thirst only the beloved can quench. Even if two lovers abide for only a time that makes their love no less true and real.

American poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Oliver
To live
in this world,
you must
be able to do
three things:
to love
what is
mortal;
to hold it
against
your bones
knowing
your life
depends on it;
and when
the time comes,
to let go.
