I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more, because it came from you. And then I open up and see, the person falling here is me, a different way to be. I want more, impossible to ignore. And they'll come true, impossible not to do. And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me. You're what I couldn't find. A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind; you're everything to me. ~ The Cranberries

You live and you breathe and then you die. In between, if you’re lucky, you fall in love. Some loves stay forever; others are lost in only a day. But it’s still there, underneath all the hurt and pride and years. If it’s true love, it’s never forgotten. So when someone says they’re in love, don’t tell them they can’t be. Don’t say they’re too young, or it’s too soon. Love knows no age and or length of time. Love is a feeling, deep in your heart, that squeezes you tight and you never want to let it go.

When I didn’t need anyone, I needed you.

I'm sick of all this I'll love you until there are no more stars in the sky crap. All I need is a man who will tell me that he's going to love me with everything he has today ... because all we really have is this moment, today. ~ Kelsey

It’s always better to have found the courage to love even if you lose it in the end, rather than never have found love because you were too afraid of the challenge.

Everybody needs somebody … you could be that somebody that somebody needs.

There's only one thing greater than my fear -- that is my love. My love will always conquer my fear -- but it can't do it immediately. It needs the full force of my love to do it and it takes days for that to emerge out of its dark hiding places.

I still melt down like a burning candle every time we touch. ~ Macy Gray

If you’re asking if I need you, the answer is forever.
If you’re asking if I’ll leave you, the answer is never.
If you’re asking what I value, the answer is you.
If you’re asking do I love you, the answer is I do.

We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got. It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not. We’ve got each other, and that’s a lot for love. ~ Billy Joel

After we hung up the phone last night, I just sat there in the dark. All of a sudden tears started running down my face. I didn't understand how I could be crying when I was so happy, but then I realized they were tears of joy. How lucky I am to have someone like you, someone so understanding, and so caring. The more I thought about how great you are, the more the tears ran down my cheeks.

I have loved to the point of madness, that which to me, is the only sensible way to love. ~ F. Sagan

I’ve always been curious, needing someone serious. Looking for someone that loves me, but the day I stopped my search, it seems you were put on this earth to show me everything I could not see.

Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or hers reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself truthfully. When you dare to be vulnerable. ~ Dr. Joyce Brothers

We've got this great gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it is going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. ~ John Lennon

I love being with you. I don't have to work hard to impress anyone ... you know all my faults. I can cry in front of you, and you'll just hold me until I stop ... or I can laugh so hard I cry ... and you'll laugh with me until we're both crying. And it's perfect. How sometimes we don't have to say anything. Just being together is enough. Even though we know everything about each other, we still never run out of things to talk about. You're always there for me, either to hold me or laugh with me. You've been with me through everything and I can't imagine ever not having you in my life. I love having you in my life. ~ Emily

We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

I will be patient, kind, faithful and true to a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart. ~ India Arie

I guess the best part of being with you is that you don't judge me. I can wake up in the morning -- hair a mess, no make up on -- and you still tell me I'm the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. ~ JoAnne Golden

When I look back to the beginning I think of your smile. I think of how for a moment life was worthwhile. I think of the way you held my hand, kissed me softly, and could always understand. I think of the day you looked at me and our eyes met. These are the things I'll never forget. But now when I see my reflection and I look into my own eyes, I think of how I lost you. How we lost each other. I know one day you'll be breaking hearts in Heaven, but what can I do now that you've broken mine?

The day that you left me I sat down and made a list of all of your bad qualities. Then I went back over and read them. Then I realized they were all the reasons I loved you.

Eventually love will find its way.

“I love you,” means that I accept you for the person that you are … and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect perfection from you, just as you don’t expect it from me. It means that I will love you and stand by you event through the worst of times. It means loving you when you’re in a bad mood or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. “I love you,” means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly … hoping that you feel the same way for me.

Your love seems so brand new every day … because everyday that I am with you I love you more and more.

If I could have all the wonders in the world, all I would want is you.

Love is so powerful because being loved causes one to love oneself. Nothing contributes to the self-image more than being loved by another. When the words, "I love you" are expressed to you for the first time, your world blossoms, your heart glows with inspiration, confidence and thoughts of the mountains you can move. It’s more than an emotional kick; suddenly you like yourself more than you ever have before. ~ Robert Conklin

But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. ~ Practical Magic

In his eyes I can see where my heart longs to be. ~ Jekyll & Hyde

Love is worth forgiving for. ~ Jekyll & Hyde

You are an angel, and I am sure I do not know in what way I have merited your love. ~ The Count of Monte Cristo

He gives the midnight sky the luminous glow of the moon and the stars. This is how I feel about him. This is what he does to me. I am the pitch-black sky of the night. He is the moon and the stars that make it complete and beautiful. This is how I feel about him. This is what he does to me. ~ Louise Sybing

I like not only to be loved, but to be told I am loved. ~ George Eliot

In days to come, like days that passed, my heart beats for you ... always has.

I don't know when it hit me. Maybe that is because it's always hitting me ... I was sitting downstairs, and I couldn’t stop thinking about you ... and as I kept thinking about you, my stomach actually flip-flopped. Bottom line? I'm crazy about you.
