2. Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You
have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.

Love is awfully simple, but falling out of love is simply awful. "Loving you is the happiest thing happen to me; Because you take my sadness." Was No in Love!! i Heaven!

if i have to choose between loving you, and breathing. I would use my last breath to say I LOVE YOU. Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. Love means you never have to say sorry If loving you is wrong, i don't want to be right... f my love for you would take the form of water... I'd be drowning! Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. All you need is love. For those who love.. time is eternity... If you love me, let me know. If not, please gently let me go. The only reward for love is the experience of loving. You are more then love to me...... you are the world!! You are my moon, you are my sun, you are my only one. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you. Love looks not with eyes, but with the mind.

A man is not where he lives, but where he loves. Love is a game that two can play and both win. Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Take away love and our earth is a tomb. A heart that loves is always young. I see you in every passing face. Love makes everything lovely. Soul meets soul on lover's lips. We must love one another or die. Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
