Few Have Seen

Love…
…of a common sort is frequently discovered by those who settle for less than their heart’s desire. I waited, but fear moved in as I aged. When I was about ready to settle for an ordinary love, you stepped into my life.

17th-century French writer Francois de la Rochefoucauld

love
is
like
ghosts,
which
everyone
talks
about
and
few
have
seen.

No Beginning or End

Love…
…knows no sense of time; no beginning or end. Loving always feels like something awakened within that has been there all along but was sleeping, waiting to be brought to life.

From the novel/movie “Message in a Bottle” by Nicholas Sparks

in my arms,
I feel an
emptiness
in my soul.
I find myself
searching
the crowds
for your face;
I know it’s an
impossibility,
but I cannot
help myself.

Striking it Rich

Love…
…is found much like a determined prospector digging for gold; one has to have a belief he or she is going to find it in the first place. ‘Striking it rich’ in love becomes probable only with an unwavering conviction it is possible.

From “Love and Truth” by American writer Kathryn Vance-Perez

me today our
being together
would result
in heartbreak
I would still
choose to be
with you because
I believe that
truly living life
is in the experiences
not the outcomes.
