Love words

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.

 

Love is sweets and honey
Love is sometimes for your heart
Love is sometimes for the money

Love is passionate
Love is blind
Love is destined
Love is cruel and kind

Love is forever
Love is for a night
Love is fading
Love is at first sight

Love is unrequited
Love is for another
Love is not returned
Love is not to be smothered

Love is dangerous
Love is right
Love is wrong
Love is a fight

Love is complicated
Love is here and there
Love is in you and me
Love is everywhere

Love is broken
Love is true
Love is for me
Love is for you

 

You will find, as you look back upon your life,
that the moments when you really lived are the moments
when you have done things in the spirit of love.

 

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

 

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
