The biggest coward of a man is toawaken the love of a woman without the intention of lovingher.

She may not be the most popular orprettiest but if you love her and she makes you smile what elsematters?

Hes not perfect. You arent either,and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make youlaugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits tobeing human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him themost you can. He isnt going to quote poetry, hes not thinkingabout you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that heknows you could break. Dont hurt him, dont change him, and dontexpect for more than he can give. Dont analyze. Smile when hemakes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when hesnot there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfectguys dont exist, but theres always one guy that is perfect foryou.

Love would never leave usalone.

Live for yourself and you will livein vain; live for others, and you will live again.

And dont expect more than she cangive. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makesyou mad, and miss her when shes not there.

Truth is everybody isgoing to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth sufferingfor.

If puss and dog can gettogether, why cant we love one another?

Only once in your life, I trulybelieve, you find someone who can completely turn your worldaround. You tell them things that youve never shared with anothersoul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hearmore. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never cometrue, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointmentslife has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you cantwait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in yourexcitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you arehurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Neverdo they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not goodenough, but rather they build you up and show you the things aboutyourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is neverany pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmnesswhen they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about whatthey will think of you because they love you for who you are. Thethings that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, songor walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart tocherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are soclear and vivid its like being young again. Colors seem brighterand more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where beforeit was infrequent or didnt exist at all. A phone call or twoduring the day helps to get you through a long days work andalways brings a smile to your face. In their presence, theres noneed for continuous conversation, but you find youre quite contentin just having them nearby. Things that never interested you beforebecome fascinating because you know they are important to thisperson who is so special to you. You think of this person on everyoccasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mindlike a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on thehorizon. You open your heart knowing that theres a chance it maybe broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a loveand joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that beingvulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel truepleasure thats so real it scares you. You find strength in knowingyou have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remainloyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting andworthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they area part of your life.
