"Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is not."
Henry Van Dyke
"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."
I Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Alexander Smith
"I've tried to block your memory
To protect me from the pain
Pretend I
never knew you,
And never heard your name.
But the walls aren't strong
enough
And I fight my tears in vain.
The feeling came creeping through
and
the hurt is still the same.
I wish I could forget you,
Or make you see me
now
I thought you really cared
But it seems you don't know how.
The pain
will ease in time
And though I know it's over
And what we had is gone
The
memories will live forever
In a corner of my mind."
A CORNER IN MY MIND By
Stephanie Pacheco
"For it was not into my ear you whispered
"Can you go back in time
"Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."
" Love has to spring spontaneously from within
"If you love someone, let him go.
"To love is to risk not being loved. To hope is to risk disappointment. But the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, and is nothing. He cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live."
"Love people not things. Use things not people."
"Be careful what you love.... What you love, you shall soon grow to resemble."
"The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost."
"Love, I find, is like singing. Everyone can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may
not impress the neighbors as being very much."
To a place in your mind
To the one who knew
A part of you
That you just couldn't find?
If you asked me to choose
Between a memory or two
When it's said and done
I'd take the one
Whose love I had to lose."
Stealing Home
St. Augustine
And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force.
Love and coercion can never go together;
But though love cannot be forced on anyone,
It can be awakened in him through love itself.
Love is essentially self communicative;
Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it.
True love is unconquerable and irresistible,
And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself,
Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches."
Meher Baba
"Oh, why do you look so sad? 
"I rather have one touch of her hand,
one smell of her hair,
one kiss of her lips,
than an eternity without it."
Nicholas Cage in City of Angels
If he returns to you, it was meant to be.
If he doesn't, his love was never yours to begin with..."
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much."
Bessie Anderson Stanley
G.K.Chesterton
Zora Neale Hurston
The tears are in your eyes,
Come on and come to me love.
Don't be ashamed to cry.
Let me see you through
'Coz I've seen the dark side too.
When the night falls on you,
Don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess
can make me love you less.
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
So, if you get mad.
Don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
And hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too,
But I'm a lot like you.
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along
'Coz even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you,
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take into your darkest hour,
And I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
And when, when the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone,
You won't be all alone,
I'll stand by you.
Ill stand By you, The Pretenders
