love & valentine

The Time I've lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light that lies
In women's eyes
Has been my heart's undoing.
~ Thomas Moore



I can't be with you
So all I will do is sleep.
Please don't wake me up from this dream
For it's all of you that I can keep...
~ unknown



"When I saw you I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew."
- Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet



"If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If however your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."
~ Pride and Prejudice



Valentine, O, Valentine,
I'll be your love and you'll be mine.
We'll care for each other, rain or fine,
and in 90 years we'll be 99.
~ Ian Serraillier



... here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)...
~ e.e. cummings



Do you love me because I am beautiful,
or am I beautiful because you love me?
~ Cinderella, by Oscar Hammerstein II



"LOVE: The irresistable desire to be irresistibly desired."
~ Robert Frost



I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am, when I am with you
~ Elizabeth Barret Browning



Pains of love be sweeter far
Than any other pleasures are.
~ John Dryden



Love is a wild bird that no one can tame
It's useless to chase it
If it won't play the game
~ From the opera Carmen



"Because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have."
~ Unknown



"That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and that person. And you realize that person is the only person you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry, because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time."
- from Never Been Kissed



The mark of a true crush
Is that you fall in love first
And grope for reasons afterward
- Shana Alexander



"I've realized why I hate you. It's not because of what you did or did not do. That's actually only a very little part of it. It's the fact that I could be sitting here, thinking of nothing and you pop into my head. There's so many memories involving you. We shared so much. And I guess, ever since that has been over, ever since we stopped sharing it, I've been hurt. It's not the bad memories, either, that hurt me. It's the good ones, that happy ones. The ones that remind me that there was something between us. That at one point I truly DID love you. That between the two of us, we ruined something great..."
~ Unknown



The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.
~ Francis W. Bourdillon



"...and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes."
~ James Joyce, Molly Bloom's Soliloquy, Final Chapter

Let's take a vacation
From the sordid ramifications
On the television Station.
I`ll treat you royal
My passions boil.
We'll be mysterious.
I yearn delirious!
I`ll make good food to eat.
And for dessert
A special treat.
Loving Kisses,
Hot and Sweet.
We'll play awhile and smile.
~ unknown

"The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender."
~Emil Ludwig



I ran up the door and closed the stairs,
said my pajamas and put on my prayer,
turned off the bed and jumped into the light
...all because you kissed me goodnight.
~ Unknown



To one I truly adore -
Never else, never less,
Never so much more.
