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.

- Captain Corelli's Mandolin6. "Love is the beauty of the soul."

--St. Augustine

something i wrote one day....

i thought that everything was going fine but i guess i was wrong. you didnt love me like i did, and just left me here. it was the first time in my life that i open my heart, and it kills me that you dont understand what i feel for you.

i felt in love for the first time in my life, and and you broke my heart. but i wont give up on love, i just go on, go on...

i felt in love for the first time in my life, and he wasnt the right guy. but i wont give up on love...cause i know that someone´ll come one day..and rescue me.

now that time went by, and i found another guy, someone that really treats me right, you say you´re happy for me, but i dont believe you, cause your eyes say something else, but now it´s too late cause...

i felt in love for the first time in my life, and and you broke my heart. but i wont give up on love, i just go on, go on...

i felt in love for the first time in my life, and he wasnt the right guy, but i wont give up on love...cause i know that someone´ll come one day..and rescue me.

just stay away, dont say anything, i dont wanna hear that you´re sorry for everything.. I will not fall into your arms this time...

cause now im in love with the right guy, and he´s everything i ever wanted. i didnt give up on love, and now i really found it...im in love with the right guy, and he really loves me.

i didnt give up on love...i waited for you...and you found me..

By me...
