Yes, I am a hopeless romantic! So are some of you, I bet...you
just hate to admit it. But if you are here, chances are that you
will enjoy the quotes and quips and song lyrics I have here.
Love, a feeling that has perplexed humankind throughout
the ages. Perhaps best summed up by Jimmy Buffett: "Relationships
- everybody's got 'em, everybody want's 'em, what do we do with
'em?"

Breathe
Again - 4/2/2000
When I walk outside
I bring my gaze to the sky
And take a breath
And realize that
My fire has returned
I can see goodness again
My mind is clear
And I can feel my heart
Beating stronger.
It is still amazing
How special you make me feel
And each moment we share
Seems to pass reluctantly
As if it were a
Sweet goodbye caress.
Because of all you have done
I can breathe again.

You, in my mind - 3/25/2000
Your eyes
Your hair
Your laugh
You make me smile
Inside and out
But especially inside.
Your playful nod
Your sweet kiss
Your fingers in my hair
You make my mind
Forget all the bad.
Your smile
Your giggle
Your charm
Charm me even now
Because you linger
In my mind.
- for Cinderella by RSB

Love is being able to walk arm in arm...
even when you don't see eye to eye.
Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion,
the romance and you find out you still care for that person.
Never say goodbye when you still want to try.
Never give up when you still feel you can take it.
Never say you no longer love a person when you can't let go.
If you love someone, tell them...
for hearts are often broken by words left unspoken.
"You've got to dance like nobody's watching, and
love like its never going to hurt."

Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports,

they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get
to find out later who you're stuck with."
WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
"Twenty-three is the best age because you know the
person FOREVER by then."

a fool to get married."
HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

to do."

1 Corinthians 13
Love
And now I will show you the most excellent
way.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and
all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the
poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I
gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part
and we prophecy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect
disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought
like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I
put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection
as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in
part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and
love. But the greatest of these is love.
From "Man's Search for Meaning"
By Viktor Frankl, while being marched to forced labor
in a Nazi concentration camp:
A thought transfixed me: for the first time in
my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets,
proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth--that
love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.
Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry
and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man
is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing
left in this world may still know bliss, be it only for a brief
moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. In a position of utter
desolation, when a man cannot express himself in positive action,
when his only achievement may consist in enduring his sufferings
in the right way--an honorable way--in such a position man can,
through loving contemplation of the image he carries of his beloved,
achieve fulfillment. For the first time in my life, I was able to
understand the words, "The angels are lost in perpetual contemplation
of an infinite glory."
Best Friend
I am my own best friend and I
Despair the need for more than my
Own steps upon this narrow walk
Around the unrelenting clock
That beating shadow, pushing me
Toward my dimming destiny
And should I ever hesitate
I hear it mock our crueler fate
Your hands to touch, your eyes to see
Your fragrance, taste, and melody
All must be sensed! I cannot block
Sensations in me as you talk
Nor can I to cruel time deny
That I do need you more than I.
I Didn't Know About You
by Ella Fitzgerald
I ran around, with my own little crowd
The usual laughs, not often, but loud
And in the world that I knew
I didn't know about you
Chasing after the rain, on the merry-go-round
Just taking my fun, where it could be found
And yet what else could I do
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday
In your arms
I know for once in my life, I'm living
Had a good time, everytime I went out
Romance was a thing, I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you
Darling, now I know
I had the loneliest yesterday, everyday
In your arms
I know for once in my life, I'm living
Had a good time, everytime I went out
Romance was a thing, I kidded about
How could I know about love
I didn't know about you
I didn't know about you
