Love
Love is the ultimate prize in life, the gift that I am most thankful for.
The description of love is found in every smile, every pounding heart, and the sweet taste of every single kiss. Love is an emotional feeling inside the human soul deeply. Love is found on the battle field of two passion driven hearts. I am thankful for every chill and every goose bump I get, simply from the thought of being in love. The power of love that flows from every tear drop rinses off the bad memories of yesterday, cleansing my body and my soul. I hear my racing heart, pounding in my chest, every beat pulling me closer to the reigns of love. The empowering smell of love in the air drives me insane, and I feel the strength of the grasp of love upon my soul.
The thanks I feel for beholding the gift of love is huge, bigger than I would have ever imagined.

What is love ?
Love means that I know the person I love. I’m aware of the many sides of the other person — not just the beautiful side but also the limitations, inconsistencies and faults. I have an awareness of the other’s feelings and thoughts, and I experience something of the core of that person. I can penetrate social masks and roles and see the other person on a deeper level.
Love is selfish. I can only love you if I genuinely love, value, appreciate, and respect myself. If I am empty, then all I can give you is my emptiness. If I feel that I’m complete and worthwhile in myself, then I’m able to give to you out of my fullness. One of the best ways for me to give you love is by fully enjoying myself with you.
Love needs time. Perhaps people can fall in love in a moment, but mature love is like a tree, moving slowly from the seed to the sheltering splendor of its prime. People need time to deepen their affection, to appreciate one another’s differences, to share one another’s joys and grief. When we accept the differences of loved ones, we find that those very differences provide the mystery and wonder of human relationships. It’s foolish to expect perfection; it doesn’t exist. The key is to recognize and enjoy our differences.
Love deserves all the admiring words, and love is even beyond the life and death. That is what love is all about in my eyes.

Love without measure
Freada Bright says. “Only in opera do people die of love.” It’s true. You really can’t love somebody to death. I’ve known people to die from no love, but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can’t love one another enough.
A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise. The woman arrived home that evening to see a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read, “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.” Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it up from the floor, she read “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his spouse is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He may say that he loves her to death, but he doesn’t. He loves her to life. For his love nourishes her life, like nothing else can. Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said “What can you do to promote would peace? Go home and love your family.”And love your friends. Love them without measure. Love them to life.

My Mistress
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far redder than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
— by William Shakespeare
Meeting You Is My Best Start
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello little did I know
That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go and I said
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run

The Rose
Amanda McBroom
Some say love
it is a river
that drowns the tender reed,
Some say love
it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed,
Some say love
it is a hunger
an endless aching need.
I say love
it is a flower
and you its only seed.
It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance,
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance,
It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong.
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose.

The Salty Coffee
Author Unknown
He met her at a party. She was so outstanding while he was so normal that nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised to go.
They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking to herself, “Please, let me go home…”
Suddenly he said to the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I’d like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him, for his quest was so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby?” He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea. I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still living there.” While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak about her faraway hometown, her childhood and her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who met all her demands. He had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm and caring. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, and then they were living the happy life… And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that’s the way he liked it.
After 40 years, he passed away, and left her a letter which said: “My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life’s lie. This is the only lie I have ever said to you—the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything… Now I’m dying. I’m afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee. What a strange bad taste. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I have never felt sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”
Her tears made the letter totally wet.
Someday, someone asked her, “What’s the taste of salty coffee?” “It’s sweet,” she replied.

The Most Distant Way in the World
Rabindranath Tagore
The most distant way in the world
is not the way from birth to the end.
It is when I sit near you
that you don’t understand I love you.
The most distant way in the world
is not that you’re not sure I love you.
It is when my love is bewildering the soul
but I can’t speak it out.
The most distant way in the world
is not that I can’t say I love you.
It is after looking into my heart
I can’t change my love.
The most distant way in the world
is not that I’m loving you.
It is in our love
we are keeping between the distance.
The most distant way in the world
is not the distance across us.
It is when we’re breaking through the way
we deny the existence of love.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in two distant trees.
It is the same rooted branches
can’t enjoy the co-existence.
So the most distant way in the world
is not in the being separated branches.
It is in the blinking stars
they can’t burn the light.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the burning stars.
It is after the light
they can’t be seen from afar.
So the most distant way in the world
is not the light that is fading away.
It is the coincidence of us
is not supposed for the love.
So the most distant way in the world
is the love between the fish and bird.
One is flying in the sky,
the other is looking upon into the sea.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou own;
Nor shall death brag thou wander in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Crush On You
At least I must tell you once. I am an ordinary girl, maybe not very beautiful, but lovely. I can write many beautiful fancy sentences and take pictures .
I have an interesting soul which loves you. I do not pray for love, but I think I could try a little harder to get you to see me, making you happy for a long time.
If you are bored of life, I will beckon you to the falling rains in the spring and show you a chain of seasoned and sentimental clouds in the very summer days.
I’m tired of going out, but I can’t help fantasizing about being with you to travel. Ordinary scenery also will be a beautiful picture because of you.
I am so happy to be with you. When I meet you, I will melt and evaporate into the red clouds on my cheeks.
Wearing flip-flops, carried by my sweetheart, I was walking down a sunset-covered street. The evening wind of summer breezed past, and we looked up to see the moon. It is too sweet.
When I am tired and sleepy, I want to rest by your side. I want you to embrace me with your warm arms.
In my opinion, two people who get together are romantic because they love each other. Love is not simply giving. It also includes proper rejection, timely praise, proper criticism, proper debates, necessary encouragement, gentle comfort and effective urging.
Love is a willingness to perfect oneself in order to promote the mental maturity of oneself and others. It’s a virtuous cycle.
I think that’s the way between us. Even though we are ordinary, the love between us is beautiful.

When we were together
“Your letter is so official that you don’t even think about me.” Premier Zhou sent a letter to Deng Yingchao. “Premier Zhou is a busy man. There is no time to think about me.” Deng wrote back, “how do idle people know that busy people want to be idle?” Premier Zhou wrote back.
In times of turmoil, married in war, Zhou Enlai is responsible for the country, regardless of physical illness, sticking to their duties until the end of the diplomatic career. Deng Yingchao and the Prime Minister walked hand in hand, and no one knew her comrade better than she did. Knowing that his last wish was to scatter his ashes over his beloved country, she did not hesitate to support it. Deng Yingchao understood his heart. They stayed in their former apartment, with Zhou Enlai’s favorite flower, begonia. People born in those days could not taste the love so happily as people do now, but they let people understand what is the true love.

Love，a complex taste
In my mind, “Titanic” has always been one of my best romances. Every time I watch it, I can’t help crying.
On April 10, 1912, the Titanic sailed from Southampton in the United Kingdom to New York, USA. The wealthy young girl Rose went on board with her mother and fiance Karl, and on the other side, the innocent juvenile painter Jack won the ticket by a gamble on the dock. Rose had long known that Karl was a snobbish, and she didn't want to marry him from the bottom of her heart. Not only that, she even planned to vote for herself. At the crucial moment, Jack grabbed the young girl Rose and the two young men got to know each other.
In order to stay away from the sadness of the girl’s heart, Jack and Rose continue to discover the joy of life. Soon, beautiful and lively Rose fell in love with handsome and cheerful Jack... The sad thing happened in the silent night, and the Titanic crashed into the tip of the iceberg. Jack gave Rose the chance to survive and he was immersed in the icy sea. Eventually Jack disappeared into the cold water... It would be unrealistic to say that Jack did not fear death. But maybe the power of love gave him a fearless spirit.
No one is an island, we all need love. But love is not full of sweetness, and not all love has a happy ending. However, someone will always be engraved in your memory, even if you forget his voice, forget his smile, and forget his face, but whenever you think of him, the feelings will never change.

The Great Love for the Army
It is often said that，“love is great.” But then I want to say，“Love for the army is greater.”
When you put on your military uniform, you smiled and said to me, ” Wait for me for two years, I am going to repay you with my whole life”. I tightly embraced you and muttered: “If the love is long, is it in the twilight of the morning and evening.”
Looking at your distant figure gradually blurring and The long train vanishing gradually, I couldn’t help crying.
When I miss and want to call you, I always hear the sound of the shutdown. I know that the busier you are, the safer the country is！
When I miss and want to hold your hand, I understand that your left hand belongs to me, and your right hand belongs to the motherland!
When I miss and want to lean on you, I see that you defend our motherland, and I guard love!
Although I comprehend you, when I miss you, I still can’t help bursting into tears. I didn’t expect too much. I just hope you can tell me when you take off your military uniform. Please be more instructed for the rest of your life!
My soldier dear, I will wait for you to come back all the time!

True Love Will Go On
When the first sun shined on the ward in the morning, suddenly I discovered that there was a bouquet of lilies on the table, and bright, dewy dew on the petals of white jade. An old man went to the flower shop early to buy his wife’s favorite flower and inserted it here.
When the sun became warmer and the ward was filled with the smell of injections, an old man tried to test the temperature of the millet porridge with his mouth, and then sent a spoonful to his wife’s mouth gently.
When the evening sun glows hot, when the early evening pink clouds reflected in the window, the old man chatted with his wife. They talked about young moments, the grandma’s face sometimes showed the girl’s unique shyness and joy. Grandpa looked at her face with a smile and straightened out her forehead with unkempt hair.
At this beautiful moment, time seems to be static. What is love? No one can give a definitive answer, but isn’t this the appearance of love?
A month ago, I was admitted to the hospital because of illness. Before this, due to various factors, I have been adhering to the idea of unmarried religion until I met the elderly couple. They were very easy-going and very kind-hearted. They learned that I was treated in hospital alone and no family members took care of me. They often ran to my ward to see me. So I have the opportunity to listen to their ordinary but unforgettable love.
Perhaps you adore the vigorous love, maybe you look forward to sweet words, but I want to experience a love from youth to old age. There is an old saying in China that when we were married, we became a couple; when we were old, we accompanied each other. In fact, love has gone through the time and will eventually become a family relationship one day.

Goodbye to Once, Hello to Future
The days were slower but warmer in the past
Through a touch of light mist
Year after year, time is out
It took time to fall in love in the past
So slow, one needs one’s lifetime seeking for Mr/Ms Right
So slow, you need your whole life to love people that suit
After my reading the poem, the words came to my mind：You are in the flower, and the flower is in the wind, which bloomed late in that year. Well, you are here. Just, once upon the good time passes away and does no longer return. Although the beautiful love has gone away quietly, I believe these things shall never die which will still leave a good memory in your heart and enrich your future love life.
Somebody will meet a man in his life, but may not stay together forever. With the time changing, you go back and look at those days, maybe you will thank the first choice, because you have understood this man is not your best choice .
May everyone who loves with his heart meet a better love in the future.

Taste of Love
Love is sacred and beautiful to everyone. In love, you can experience all kinds of emotions. There are joys and sorrows, and occasionally you will be overjoyed by his sudden appearance, and you will be frightened by his sudden disappearance. The life that I yearn for is very simple, which is just one room, two people, three meal and four seasons. Hold his hands, and grow old together. Love is the the heart of understanding, and the heart of supporting. In love, you will appreciate each other and will have mutual understanding, mutual tolerance, mutual support. As long as you have true love and sincerity, a rose and 99 roses are equivalent and have no difference. Truly everlasting love is like the boiled water, insipid and long-lasting.

What is love?
Love is an important part of human life. Many people yearn for a great love story. but in fact, most of love is as plain as water.
Love is like sand in your hand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it will fall. If you give it space, it will stay in your hand.
Love is giving, not one-way taking.
Love is tolerance, not fearless argument;
love is mutual trust, not unreasonable suspicion.
Love is tolerance, not indulgence.
Love is care, not spoil. Love is mutual, not individual.
True love is not necessarily a perfect match in the eyes of others, but a perfect match in the hearts who love each other. It is a quiet dedication to make each other live a better life.
True love is to cherish when you can love.
True love is let go when you cannot love, because letting go is having everything.
Please love when you cherish it; when you let go, best wishes.

When light arrives on this bitter earth,
I wander over on this vast land,
waiting for sunrise, waiting for sunset.
Everything is so calm.
One day, I see in the distance,
A bright light appeared in the sky.
I run to that light like a moth to fire.
I cannot control myself.
She is blinking across the sky.
The half-night sky is illuminated as daylight.
I keep running and running;
She flies too fast;
The light fades in my eyes.
I am exhausted but do not want to stop;
My heart seems to burst;
My lips are drying and cracking;
My legs gradually lose consciousness.
In my eyes, the world is all dark except this light.
Finally, the light stopped in the air;
I looked at her, so close to her;
Happy and hopeless,
because there is a high wall between us.
Oh, the wall of sighs;
Oh, my curse.
I try everything to exceed the wall but failed.
Born from crying to death,
I still have to bear in the end.
Oh, my curse,
Oh, my light.
I wandered over near the wall;
No sunrise, no sunset.

If the hero never comes to you
If you need someone you’re feeling blue
If you’re away from love and you’re alone
If you call your friends and nobody’s home
You can run away but you can’t hide
Through a storm and through a lonely night
Then I show you there’s a destiny
The best things in life
They’re free
But if you wanna cry
Cry on my shoulder
If you need someone who cares for you
If you’re feeling sad your heart gets colder
Yes I show you what real love can do
If your sky is grey oh let me know
There’s a place in heaven where we’ll go
If heaven is a million years away
Oh just call me and I make your day
When the nights are getting cold and blue
When the days are getting hard for you
I will always stay here by your side

Love has a hundred flavors
The breeze is not manic, and the sun is just right.
Love has one hundred taste, experienced by all.
Love is sour, the so-called “jealousy” between men and women.
Love is sweet, the so-called “lingering” between lovers.
Love is bitter, the so-called “game” between love and friendship.
Love is spicy, the so-called “good-bye” between the opposite sex.
What is love? How to understand love？How do you treat it?
Someone said
Love is an umbrella in his hand when it rains.
Love is a word in his mouth when you hesitate.
Love is light when you are sad.
Love is the shared consideration when they face the future.
And then what is love?
Love can be anything, or not be anything,
Love is positive energy.
Because there is love, there is the future.
Because there is love, there is hope.
Because there is love, there is expectation.
Because there is love, there is understanding.
And because of love, you and I are here.
Love has a hundred flavors in the heart.
Can somebody tell me,
What is love supposed to be?
That makes me hold no fear in the face of death.
Without you, my existence is meaningless on earth.
This is perhaps love!

My Love
Time flies! When I studied in Luohe high school, I met my love there, a handsome and lovely boy. Now, more than 180 kilometers apart, I cannot stay with him, for both of us are very busy. Every day, he tells me his mind is always full of my pretty face and sweet smile. Though we don’t speak many sweet words, both of us feel happy, which is just right since we deeply love each other. I am glad to have met him. Because of him I understand what love is. If someday the sun ceased to shine, just one smile from him would make my whole world bright and the darkness out of sight. Perhaps, to the world I may be just one person, but to him I may be his whole world. We share so much together. I’m grateful for his standing behind me and doing everything for me. I am the class monitor. Whenever I’m misunderstood, he listens to my complaints and comforts me.
Each time I see him, my heart is filled with joy. I agree where there is great love, there are always miracles. We accompany each other, encourage each other and make progress together.
I believe despite the long distance, our love will persist and last forever.

True Love
A few weeks ago, I’ve already read The Lady of the Camellias. To be honest, at first, I don’t really feel that much. But when I read it once again, I find the heroine is really great, and the lady of the camellias was willing to give up all wealth for the hero. It really touched me so deeply.
I don’t know whether you have heard about the true love is that Win-Win Game. It means that two people are freer together than one person. Staying with someone you love, if he gives you energy, let you be happy, comfortable during every night dream and everything is full of power, anticipation for the future, it means he is your Mr. Right.
The most suitable relationship is never to torture each other in the name of love, but to accompany each other, to become each other’s sunshine, to encourage and support each other, to cultivate each other spiritually. Two people grow old together and the prerequisite for lasting love is the mutual improvement and balance of ideological, spiritual and economic conditions.
The best way to love someone is to manage yourself well and give them a better you. Instead of trying hard to be good to someone, he will try hard to love you. There will always be a realistic side to secular feelings: you have value and your efforts will be valued.
In fact, I make a rational judgment on our own life and goals. After considering the concerns of myself and my partner, I will continue to love and be able to love. I’m passionate about life because of love. I begin to like what I do because of love. We become more secure and happy because of love. That’s true love.

To My Dearest
It’s been so long. I understand that to like a person is to be happy together. I want to hug you, especially in the dream, I want to kiss you on the cheek, especially at midnight, not that I’m not brave enough, just the distance between you and me, my dear, I miss you.
In the ordinary days, full of subtle little happiness, remember that we are together no matter where you go, you hold my hand tightly, you say “the crowd is crowded, I am afraid I can not find me.” Remember that when we eat together, you always give me the delicious food, remember the breakfast you brought for me, and write me a love poem. When I am sad, you give me a warm hug, when I feel lonely, you accompany me, thank you for making me feel the beauty of life.
You won’t meet second of me. As always follow you, respect you, always accompany you, listen to your mind, give you comfort and encouragement. I won’t meet second of you too. So, We all don't miss each other. A mistake is a moment, but missing each other is a lifetime. Many people say that we are not suitable, my friends, or your friends.
I only believe that if you still love me, my choice is not wrong. We also had misunderstanding, separation and quarrel. But more, we are happy and warm together. I am not the most perfect, not the best, but I love you most.
Lovers need four words: trust, understanding, tolerance, tacit understanding. Now I use these words to bless our love. May we have a happy life and love forever.

Gardenia: the Love of Waiting
In early summer, your smile is like a tearing sun, glittering and dazzling. In your angel’s face, take away my view, gardenia behind you will melt your pure white shirt into the snow sea. When you pick up a gardenia and pass it to me, I dare not reach for it. You smiled and said, “glad to meet you. I will protect you from now on.” At that moment, I felt the fall. Since then, we are inseparable.
You know what? When you put me out of that group of jealous people, when you carry me through the long mountain road, when you give me a gift for water, and when you sit on your unmanned bike, this is a great happiness that I can’t believe so far. When Gardenia bloom again, you sing under the tree, your voice is soft and sad. For the first time in your eyes, I saw something beyond happiness. I know, your song is sung to a girl, that’s not me.
Gardenia was dissolute behind me, and you didn’t see the dim look of my eyes. The four seasons blight and the flowers bloom in spring. You still sing deep love songs, I am still the wrong audience. We jointly deduce a story that is not a story.
You put your hand on my head and said, “girl, you can’t wait.’’ Soon after, you have gone. You come to me in summer and leave in summer. Like the wind, the past, there is no trace. I don’t remember this is the first time that you have gone after Gardenia blossom, and walk in it. I don’t know which one you picked me at first.
The girl is waiting for a lover to return under the tree.

But You Didn’t
Remember the day I borrowed your brand new car and dented it?
I thought you’d kill me, but you didn’t.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you’d say, “I told you so.” But you didn’t.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you’d leave me, but you didn’t.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all over your car rug?
I thought you’d hit me, but you didn’t.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you’d drop me, but you didn’t.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn’t do.
But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn’t.

Sorry, Love You
A couple in love found a shark trailing their wooden boat when they were on holiday at sea, and was about to rush up.
The boy picked up a knife and pointed at the girl and let her jump off the boat and said, “We can only live one.”
At this point, the girl’s brain is blank. The boy said yesterday that he would love and protect her for life.
Painfully, she closed her eyes and jumped off the boat. She found it boring to live, and she no longer believed in love. She cursed the boy.
After a while, the girl opened her eyes and found that she was not dead. The shark didn’t catch up, and she panicked for the shark’s location. At the stern the girl saw the shark and a pool of blood in which the boy was dying.
The boy didn’t notice the girl, and the girl just smiled at the boy and swam to the shore.
After landing, the girl saw a fisherman crying on the shore and went up to inquire.
The fisherman told her that the boy turned and jumped after she had dived, and cut a knife in the veins of his hand, bleeding a lot. The shark smelled of blood before it bit the boy.

What Is Love
What is love?
Love is through the time and space of dislocation,
Looking up at the falling stars,
You did not leave your name,
But I can not forget you write in my palm of the name—I love you.
What is love?
Love is even if I forget your name,
Forget your appearance,
But I will not forget that I love you,
Your past dream of me vaguely involved,
So your future I will stay with you to the end.
What is love?
Love is the world, such as books.
I am partial to your sentence.
I wish to be a comma and stay at your feet.
But you have your own reader, and I am just a ferryman.
What is love?
Love is no matter how bad your condition is,
There will always be someone who loves you.
No matter how good your condition is,
There will always be someone who does not love you.
What is love?
Love is to meet the people you meet among thousands of people,
In thousands of years,
In the boundless wilderness of time,
Not a step ahead,
Nor a step late,
Happen to catch up.

Love
College is the best time in life. There is no intense learning pressure in junior high school or senior high school, no astringency of eating green and astringent fruits. As they say, a university without a relationship is not a university.
However, what is love? Love is tolerance, not indulgence. Love is care, not love. Love is mingled with each other instead of love alone. Love is a hundred flavor and not all sweetness. At the beginning of love, there is a cute heart, thinking that love is all you have. Go out to see a movie together, have a meal together, the heart is full of excitement and happiness, go to lake for a walk together, talk heart, eyes are full of each other’s figures. Gradually, you will change your character, your life goals, your willingness to give without complaining, your willingness to think about the other person’s thoughts and feelings when you think about anything, and your heartache when you think about the possibility of loss. When you disagree, bicker, and worry ensues, you become irritable, cry out, and even get drunk. This is love, like wine, with its mellow flavor and bitter taste.
When love comes, it feels sweet, sweeter than honey. But when love is far away from you, it will make you miserable. Even so, you won’t regret having loved, because love has given you a special feeling of happiness. Love is happy, but it is also painful.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2001, a group of travelers explored and found two old people living deep in the mountains. They were cut off from the rest of the world for more than fifty years, farmed on the land they had cultivated, and self-sufficient.
They are Liu Guojiang and Xu Chaoqing.
That year, Xu Chaoqing was a widow ten years older than Liu Guojiang and with four children. At a time when everyone thought Xu had killed her husband and pointed fingers at Liu and Xu. Liu Guojiang took her into the 1,500m mountains to avoid gossip.
At first, they lived in a cave, but one day the cave was washed away by a heavy rain, and only then did they build a simple mud house. The poor conditions and few supplies on the mountain did not make them retreat. They used their hands to make every brick, every tile, every piece of furniture, they raised chickens in the mountains, farmed, and created their own homes.
To make it easier for his wife to travel, Liu spent more than 50 years chiseling out 6000 steps and using more than 20 tools, and he never stopped working until the last minute of his life. Two elderly people died in 2007 and 2012 respectively, but the love ladder recorded a story that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Viewers are shocked by this love story, but I would also like to appeal to you to respect different forms of love, because gossip changes their lives.

Analysis and Appreciation of Sonnet to Fanny
In the autumn of 1818, John Keats was fascinated with a pretty lady for whom he wrote a poem, Sonnet to Fanny. Her name was Fanny. At that time, Keats was 23, and Fanny was just 18. They got engaged in Dec, 1819. Suffering from tuberculosis, Keats had to leave England to Italy, as the climate there was milder. They bid farewell for ever and a day. Even though they stretch during they fell in love with each other and had an engagement and onwards to the eternal farewell was too short for a person’s life. But their passionate love will last forever.
The poem Sonnet to Fanny may not be as famous as the Ode to a Nightingale. But from this poem we can actually see how much Keats loved Fanny. He wanted all of her. In the second paragraph, he wrote:
“Oh, let me have thee whole—all, all, be mine!
That shape, that fairness, that sweet minor zest
Of love, your kiss-those hands, those eyes divine,
That warm, white, lucent, million-pleasured breast. ”
In order to get her, he was even willing to be a slavery of her. ——
“Yourself—your soul—in pity give me all,
Withhold no atom’s atom or I die;
Or living on perhaps, your wretched thrall,
Forget, in the mist of idle misery,”
Ultimately, he even wanted to give up his purpose of life, which means if Fanny could love him, he would feel content enough and need nothing beyond her.
Maybe you will wonder why he didn’t sleep with her directly. But beyond the poem, Keats controlled himself. Due to his disease, he knew if he did that, he would lose her forever. In the end, he died lonely in his 25.
The love can’t be measured by time. The true love may become lacerated, and we don’t know what will happen. Things change, people change. But at that time, they actually got each other. The future is vague, but the memory of love is clearly unforgettable. If someone really loves you, he can strangle his appetite and even his life. When you look back on your youth, the misery and sweetness will come back to your heart, and you will smile again. If so, what is not enough?

The True Love
There are many kinds of love in this world. However, only plain and true love can be called real love. The following story tells us the true meaning of love.
He only said two words when he asked her to marry him: believe me. After she gave birth to their first daughter, he said to her: you were laborious. The day their daughter married away, he said, holding her by the shoulder: you still have me. The day he received her critically ill notice, he repeated to her: I am here. The moment she passed away, he whispered, kissing her on the forehead: wait for me.
In their whole life, he never said “I love you” to her, but his love for her never left.
Through this story, I understand that the true love does not mean I tell you that I love you every day, but loving you with actual action, and accompanying you all your life.

My view of love
Plato said, "Two hearts feel very lonely, need each other solace, is called love". Throughout the ages, so many words are used to describe the feeling of love, which is one of the most wonderful emotions in the world. There are many examples can be cited to illustrate it. I can not think better illustration than Titanic, Liangshanbo and Zhuyingtai. And today I would like to share a poem with you, which is called《When You Are Old》.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
The poem is simple but thought-provoking on the second thought. It tells us that the love of ordinary people is still unique and fragrant. In my eyes, the true love is not how much money he owns, or how beautiful she is, it’s something related to actions. As the old saying goes, "Company is the longest confession of love". At that moment, I can't help thinking of my parents. When I was young, my father looked after our whole family, but as I gradually grew up, my father was sick seriously, and my mother took care of him without any complaints. What they did make me realized the responsibility of love. I think they are the best lovers.
As a college student, I am convinced that love has no limitation and everyone is supposed to own perfect love. Maybe you have not met your true love, I hope you could wait firmly, and I believe that surprise is waiting for you somewhere.

Platonic love
Platonic love is an ideal view of love, a highly romantic or unattainable view of love. Stand by your lover, give quietly, and wait silently. Don't expect to come near or have it. Even if you know there will be no result at all, you still persist in without regret. Perhaps this unrequited pursuit is doomed to a tragic end. In the end, it can only be two arcs waiting in the distance, leaving the best part of memory as eternal!
The two sides are equal. The view of love is on an equal footing.
Platonic love is an equal view of love. Love is equal, there is no attachment or possessive relationship, and the two parties are willing and will not force it, that is, love the person you love without complaining or regretting. In the conceptual world, your original partner is your perfect match. He's somewhere in the world waiting to find you. "Stand guard in the rain", "one flower per day" is a waste of luxury. It is important to know that in the process of cultivating and developing love, both sides are equal.
The perfect love
Platonic love is a perfect view of love. There is no right or wrong in a relationship. As the song goes, "don't care about eternity; just want to have it." In your mind, there is a living and perfect person in this world, who is to you blameless and eternal. Maybe he won't be there, but he'll always be there.
In the turbid world, the mind sets aside a pure land for pure Platonic love to take root. If you like, you might as well make a cup of coffee and continue to write about Platonic love in the sun!

Love
Love is an eternal and universal topic for mankind. Where there is love, there are always wishes. In the beginning, love is always sweet. With time going by, boredom, abandonment, loneliness, despair will come gradually. However, the true love will never fade. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the love story between Jia baoyu and Lin daiyu is a tragedy. Their emotion is a day long love, never abandon.
Love is like a butterfly, it goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes. Love plays an important part in our life. It is never too late to fall in love. So don’t try so hard, the best things come where you least expect them to. As the saying goes, "love is not getting but giving". Therefore, we are supposed to learn how to love in a wise way.
All in all, love is something eternal, the aspect may change, but not the essence.

Love Is Gradually Disappearing
“You enjoy solitude?” she asked, resting her cheek on her hand. “Travelling alone, eating alone, and sitting by yourself in lecture halls ...” “Nobody likes being alone that much. I don’t go out of my way to make friends, that’s all. It just leads to disappointment.”
The tip of one earpiece in her mouth, sunglasses dangling down, she mumbled, “Nobody likes being alone. I just hate to be disappointed.” You can use that line if you ever write your autobiography.
--Norwegian Wood
I have just read several Haruki Murakami’s books. The Norwegian Wood is the third one. It’s called a love-story, but I do not think so. As we all know the keynote of Haruki’s book is loneliness. I totally agree to the hero of Norwegian Wood Toru’s words. I don’t dislike social interaction, but its lack of kindred spirits in reality.
If you compare life to road, I think most people have broken down on the road and step empty on the gas. A long time we heard the noise of gas, we would lose our directions. We just know to earn more “gas”, but forget how to “drive the car”. Always being afraid of roll over; but we cannot understand our situations. In this case we start thinking about finding someone for passenger seat, and have more students to fill up the other seats. That’s maybe about the Love Concept at the present.
I used to think that love was without struggle. It just made people feel happy, but now whether homosexuality or heterosexuality, love is gradually disappearing. The relationship between men and women or men and men or women and women is becoming production process, is becoming customs.
It was just my humble opinion.

Love Is Wonderful
As we all know, love is very important in our life. Joe Black once said, “here are one thousand touching heart, but not be same notes”.
As a contemporary student, do you know the difference between having a crush on someone and falling in love? You may be having a crush on someone at this point in your life, but you don’t know how to describe. You’ll find yourself talking to or telephoning the person for no reason. You will find yourself talking about someone involuntarily. When you’re really falling in love, you might find many shortcomings about the person you are in love, you might quarrel with him, but you would never leave him. After all these things, you will enter deeper relationship. This person will become more and more important in your life.
In addition, trust and sincerity are also very important in love. One day if you fall in love with someone, you should trust each other. Try to give more space to each other instead of sticking to him/her tightly, so that love can last longer. I hope when you are in love, you can be honest enough and aren’t afraid of admitting imperfections about yourself.
Last but not least, falling in love is great, staying in love is even better! With the company of love, you will always be happy.

What Is Love?
I used to think that the meaning of love is simply to stay together. But the hourglass-like flow of time through our fingertips gradually reveals that the parts of our souls that attract each other exist only for the beloved until the disturbing swirls are smoothed away. So, what is love?
God has given us eyes, light, ears and beautiful voices. With the mouth, the heart out of love; with the heart, I feel the warmth of the world. God gives us thought, but he doesn’t tell us what love is! What is love? Love is the temperature at which one can escape from the frozen heart. What is love? Love is a light that warms others and makes them happy. What is love? Love is an eternal support.
Goethe once said，“love is the real motivation for recovery.” What is love, and why does it have the power to revive? That’s because love gives people a desire for life. Love makes us understand the communication between heart and heart.
What is love? Love is a bright bead; it illuminates the road of life, adding color to both sides of the road. God doesn’t tell us what love is, but he gives us the power to feel it.

May I See You Again?
It is said that graduation means separation, for we are all going to be divided and say goodbye to each other. And, there are some words deep in my heart that I still want to tell you, “May I see you again?”
In the past 365 days, I would always say “see you tomorrow” to you when we were going to separate. Every time you replied, “I want to see you again tomorrow, and I’m willing to wait for you from dawn to dusk”. I was deeply touched by your serious expression when you said that. It was another day, when the stars were bright as usual. But that words, the same words, I would never be told again.
Abstract from The Little Prince
Love is a process of taming each other. At the beginning, we are all strangers to each other, as a normal one who is not in need for us at all. At the moment you tame me, as well as I tame you, all things changed. Then normal one became a unique one.
That moment is of great significance in my world.

A Little Love Story
This is a little love story about my roommate from high school. I was extremely surprised to learn that she was in love, because she studied hard and I thought falling in love at that time would affect her study. I kept thinking so until I found how they got along with each other.
That was a cool winter morning, we arrived at the classroom before dawn. There were only a few students in our classroom, which made the morning seem more cheerless and colder. A tall boy was standing at the back door, with a thick down jacket. My roommate went forward a few steps and gave him a pat on the shoulder. When he turned around and smiled at my roommate, I knew his identity correctly at once. His smile was so affectionate that I knew right away that he was her boyfriend. They whispered a few words briefly and then they communicated problems about learning.
I was surprised to see such a couple for the first time—no sweet talk, no flowers and trinkets, their relationship seemed mundane and boring. I asked my roommate curiously: “Don’t you feel bored to talk about study all the time?” She thought over for a moment, then smiled and replied, “A little, but in order to go to the same university, we have to do that.” Her boyfriend did much better than her in study, which made her stressful. But it is undeniable that this fact was also her motivation to study hard.
It was incredible, but I still admired them. They are willing to give up sweet words for getting together longer, I think that’s great.

On Love
What is love? For this question, I don’t know how to answer it clearly. As far as I am concerned, love is that parents accompany and care for each other no matter how many difficulties they meet, or two people tolerate each other no matter who makes a mistake.
Actually, love is a kind of wonderful and precious sensation among human beings. It is the most beautiful thing in the world, it gives people power and makes them become stronger.
Many poets have written beautiful poems about love. These poems are popular with readers. They convey a hazy beauty and make people long for love. Tagore, a famous Indian poet, wrote many classic sentences about love, including “Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love”. Shakespeare said, “Words cannot express true love, loyalty behavior is the best explanation” and “The course of true love never did run smooth”. There’s no doubt that love means that two people work together to solve problems and never abandon each other.
Love is a common thing. However, it also has great significance to people. It gives people hope, and makes them feel warm. Every story about love is touching. As we all know, the Saint Valentine’s Day is a day to honor loved ones. Qixi Festival is to commemorate the love between Cowherd and Weaver girl. They get together on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year. Their love story is sad but touching.
All in all, as the course of true love never did run smoothly, stumbling love can make people more moved.

An Innocent and Ignorant Love
This is the story of an 18-year-old girl. Due to the failure of the college entrance examination, the girl never wanted to fall in love after going to college. Until one day, the boy appeared.
The girl first met the boy at the class meeting. He spoke for the representative with curly hair, and the girl was still laughing at his hair. Seemingly without any intersections, they met for a second time and spoke. It was a hot day and all the freshmen were in military training. The girl rested in the shade because she was not strong enough. Then the boy came up and asked her if she had not eaten in the morning. The girl said, “I only had half a cup of porridge this morning.” The boy told the girl to have breakfast and asked her name. So the girl met the boy, but she didn’t pay much attention to him. Soon came their third meeting. The girl was practicing decomposition that day, because the posture was not correct, the boy put his mobile phone against her hand for correction and told her to relax. So the girl was very impressed with the boy.
After learning more about the boy, the girl found that she liked him very much. So the girl followed him closely in the days to come. But the boy didn’t seem to remember her at all. In the second class every Thursday, the girl would walk on the porch on the second floor at 9:40 to meet the boy. But the girl never had the courage to say hello, until the boy’s back disappeared. When the girl mustered the courage to contact the boy, the boy’s love ignored and perfunctory deeply hurt the girl. More times, the girl also slowly put down. Although the boy later apologized and talked a lot, the girl decided not to contact him. Not because the girl can’t forget it, but because it’s not necessary. After so many things, reason tells the girl that it’s important to study hard in college for four years and nothing is more important than girls being strong.
People say that love is delicious. Indeed, this unfruitful secret love brings some pain but more growth. I believe that the girl will know more about what she wants after this experience and she will also be better.

Our World Is Full of Love
We shall always save a place for ourselves, only for ourselves. And then begin to love. Have no idea of what it is, how to love or how long it will be. Just wait for love. Maybe nothing will come out, but this kind of waiting is the love itself.
Love is the most beautiful thing in the world; it gives people the power and makes them become stronger. In most children’s eyes, they dream to have the relationship like their parents, who support each other all the time. This is the best love.
I read a good story that told about a married couple. The wife read news from a magazine that listing the unsatisfied problems between the couples could help them to keep their marriage better. So they listed the problems on a separated room. The wife was the first to talk about the unsatisfied problems; it surprised the husband that she got three pages. When it was the turn for the husband to read the problems, he got nothing in the paper. He told his wife that she was the most perfect girl in his heart and he didn’t want the girl change a thing.
What a lovely couple, the husband shows people what love is. Love is to accept one’s good sides and bad sides. No matter what happens, they will always support each other. Just as the vow, no matter you are rich or poor, sick or healthy, we will never be parted.
Love Is the Spice of Life
In my eyes, love is abstract, wonderful, but desirable.
Between Mr. Qian Zhongshu and Mr. Yang Jiang, love is supposed to be the best argument for the love. They were acquaintance at first, and then fell in love with each other to be together. In his life, Qian Zhongshu said to Yang Jiang many sweet things, moving and visceral. He called Yang Jiang “the most virtuous wife and the most talented woman”. He loved and admired her from the bottom of his heart. “I had never thought of getting married before I met her. I married her for decades and never regretted marrying her. Never thought of marrying another woman. I think, the balance of love, is what love should be like.”
So far a lot of people still discuss the story about Givenchy and Audrey Hepburn. The relationship of the two is from strangers to customers, and finally they become friends. So their friendship lasted for a lifetime. In my opinion, Givenchy was Hepburn’s love. Or how can he accompany her whole life, how can he say to her: “I will do anything for you, because you are the most important person in my life”. Audrey Hepburn experienced three marriages while Givenchy did not marry. Maybe in Givenchy’s eyes, love can not be possession, or ownership, love can be appreciation and company!
Therefore, love is beautiful. If people who love each other can keep each other for a lifetime, it is the best destination in life. However, there are some people who love you and accompany you in the name of a friend. Although they are not together, they will always love you. I think, love is so, willing to do anything for you

For men, the worst regret is to meet a girl who he wants to take care of her life in the least materialistic period. For woman, the worst pity is to meet someone at her best age who couldn't wait.
Even though all is over, even though we miss each other deeply, I treat you with the same brow and the same age. May all the good things come to you.
I will wait for you in this life. There is no because, there is no so. It may not move you much , but I'll be with you for a long time.
Probably the best lover is I love you and you are just loving me to the bone. There is no because , there is no so.
The past is over, I will wait for you in this life.
If one day, we are married, I just hope it's because of love. I want to go with you to the end. Mutual help and relief in time of poverty. Hand in hand. Plain and warm, speechless and romantic.
Life is a process. If you can feel warm and happy in it, that's the greatest success. I firmly believe there is such a person, so I will wait for you in this life. There is no because, there is no so.
No matter how the dust changes, no matter how sentimental. I still believe that someone comes for me.
I wait for you in this life. There is no because, there is no so. If you have to ask, that's because I like you. Nothing that I wouldn’t do.

Love Is a Telephone
------From English Buses
Love is a telephone which always keeps silent when you are longing for a call, but rings when you are not ready for it. As a result, we often miss the sweetness from the other end.
Love is a telephone which is seldom program-controlled or directly dialed. You cannot get an immediate answer by a mere “hello”, let alone go deep into your lover’s heart by one call. Usually it has to be relayed by an operator, and you have to be patient in waiting. Destiny is the operator of this phone, who is always irresponsible and fond of laying practical jokes to which she may make you a lifelong victim intentionally or unintentionally.
Love is a telephone which is always busy, When you are ready to die for love, you only find, to your disappointment, the line is already occupied by someone else, and you are greeted only by a busy line. This is an eternal regret handed down from generation to generation and you are only one of those who languish for followers.
Love is a telephone which is not always associated with happiness. Honeyed words are transmitted by sound waves, but when the lovers are brought together, the phone serves no purpose that many lovers observe that marriage is the doom of love.
Love is a telephone which, when you use it for the first time, makes you so nervous and excited that you either hold the receiver upside down or dial the wrong number. By the time you’ve calmed down, you will beat a loss to whom you should make the call.
Love is a telephone which often has crossed lines. And this usually happens to you unexpectedly. Your time will either cross or be crossed. Both cases are referred to as “triangle”, Fortunately, all such occurrences are transient.

Love
Think of the probability
There is a lot of things in the world
But allow me to step into your eyes
Stir up a ripple
Alternate between joy and grief
Like a secret
With great care
Sensitive and obsessed
Go for you
No matter how far away
No return date
Therefore I want to do more than ever
Blurred the trace of time
There’s a rustle of falling
Look at the obstinate one
You’re still you

The taste of love－your taste
Your tears are salty , my heart is sour. Your youth is astringent, my yearning is sweet .
Through the bitter salt and salty, but the end acerbic acid.
Memories are always light, but let the grief be thick.
You are the taste of love, don’t quit after tasting.
My world is constantly haunting, from the heart to the coat.
You are the taste of love.
Your smile is like a poison,once addicted, you can’t be pulled out of it.
Like the faint taste of you, the smell of sunshine and warmth,
as gentle as the spring breeze, and like the summer wind,
and the autumn wind and the cool autumn,
and the cold wind like the winter wind.
The taste of love, your taste.
You’re like a chocolate, the entrance is very bitter,
but it’s sweet, but sometimes you’re like an apple.
Acid and sweet, sweet changes I still like you.
Even if you leave, the smell of your body is haunting in my heart.
From the end of the day.

What do you do?
I can’t see you for almost a thousand miles. I can only imagine everything around you.
“I want to have supper.”
“OK.”
You’re getting dressed and going out, but you suddenly sit in bed wondering what to eat for a long time.You open the refrigerator and see that there is a bag of instant noodles. Let it be, it’'s good to have another egg.
But actually, your refrigerator was already empty, you didn’t hesitate to leave the door and go to the shop you’ve been craving for a long time. After a long time, you came back.
“I miss you, do you want me to come to you？”
“I miss you too, but we’re too far away, I think I’d better forget it.”
You start to plan when you’re planning to come to me. You buy the earliest bus, pick up your things, you turn on your cell phone and say, “I’ll be there at six tomorrow morning. Please wait for me.”
But actually, you sighed in silence, said “well, please take care of yourself.”
“Let’s break up.”
You are silent for two minutes accepting this ending.We lose to the seven-year itch, lose to long-distance relationships. You send back an “ok”.
A distance of 450 kilometers separates us like a chasm. I envy strangers who can brush past you, and I still more envy your friends who can make fun of you. I can’t see you, more lethally, I don’t know what you’re doing. Imagination is the only way I can communicate with you. Sorry, I can’t hold on any longer.
But actually, you’re panic on the other side of the screen, you don’t want to give up our 7 years of love in this way.You said firmly that “I don’t agree.”

Love is a hundred flavors
Meeting you was a beautiful accident.
A hug, a kiss, a soft whisper will win the world, you are my whole world.
“what is missing?”
“The sun and the moon, the stars, the rain and the wilderness.”
“Can you be specific?”
“Mountains, rivers, smoke and lakes.” “Can you be more specific?”
“Everything is you, there is no hiding.”
Jose: Echo, wait me for six years. I have four years to go to college and two years to serve in the army. Six years after, I will marry you.
Echo:We are all young, and you are only a senior. Why do you want to get married?
Jose: I didn’t want to get married until I met you.
Jose: Do you have to marry a rich man?
Echo:If I don’t love him, he is a millionaire and I won’t marry him. If I love him, he is a multimillionaire and I will marry him.
Jose:…You still have to marry a rich man.
Echo: There are exceptions......
Jose: What if you marry me?
Echo:Well, as long as you have enough to eat, you can forget about the money.
Jose thought for a moment: “Do you eat much?”
Echo: Not much, not much, and I can eat less later.
Echo: Would you marry me again if there was a next life?
Jose: No, I don’t. If there is an afterlife, I want to live a different life.
Echo beat Jose.
Jose: That’s what you think, isn’t it?
Echo: That’'s what I thought.
Jose: Since the next life can’t be together, cherish this life!
Jose only lived 30 years, but he loved Echo for 12 years.
I wish I could have a love like Echo and Jose, beautiful, ordinary but
gorgeous.

To the Best Thing That’s Ever Been Mine
I was born in a family where my parents divorced and I was raised by my father who never cared about his girl when I was young. I was the flight risk with the fear of falling in love. Because I was wondering why I bothered with love if it never lasts. I didn’t believe it until I met you.
You left your hometown and worked part-time while you were in college.You seemed to see a girl in trouble and somehow we were attracted to each other when I was your part-time place to rest.Then we fell in love. I still remember when we were sitting there about the water,you put your arm around me for the first time.You learned my secrets and you figured out why I’m so cautious. You said we’d never made my parents’ mistakes.You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter.
We finally got married,but we had got nothing figured out when life was hard to take. And I remember that flight at 2:30 a.m.Everything was slipping right out of our hands.I ran out crying and you followed me out to the street.Braced myself for the goodbye because that’s all I’ve never known.Then you took me by surprise.You said, “ I’ll never leave you alone. I remember how we felt sitting by the water, and every time I look at you it’s like the first time. You are the best thing that’s ever been mine. I promise you to make it last and never turn back.” The night became the most unforgettable memory in my life.
I always forget to tell you a secret which isn’t a secret ,that you are the best thing that’s ever been mine,too.

May I See You Again?
Authentic love does not imply enduring happiness. I can stay through rough times, because I can remember what we had together in the past, and I can picture what we will have together in our future if we care enough to face our problems and work them through. We agree with the idea that love is a spirit that changes life. Love is a way of life that is creative and that transforms. However, love is not reserved for a perfect world. Love is meant for our imperfect world where things go wrong. Love is meant to be a spirit that works in painful situations. Love is meant to bring meaning into life where nonsense appears to rule. In other words, love comes into an imperfect world to make it possible to live.The following is a conversation between the hero and his wife before the end of his life.
“May I see you again?” he asked. There was an endearing nervousness in his voice.
I smiled. “Sure.”
“Tomorrow?” he asked.
“ Be patient, grasshopper,” I counseled. “You don’t want to seem overeager.”
“Right, that’s why I said tomorrow,” he said. “I want to see you again tonight. But I’m willing to wait all night and much of tomorrow.”
I rolled my eyes.
“I’m serious,”he said.
“You don’t even know me”, I said. I grabbed the book from the center console. “How about I call you when I finish this?”
“But you don’t even have my phone number,”he said.
“I strongly suspect you wrote it in the book.”
He broke out into that goofy smile. “And you say we don’t know each other.”
To sum it up, mature love is union under the condition of preserving one’s individuality. In love, two beings become one and yet remain two.

Unknown Title
Forgive me for needing you in my life;
Forgive me for enjoying the beauty of your body and soul;
Forgive me for wanting to be with you when I grow old.
You have the physical attractiveness;
You have the fashion sense;
You have the social skill and home–making ability;
You are warmth and affection;
And you are sensitive.
Without you? I’d be a soul without a purpose.
Without you? I’d be an emotion without a heart.
I’m a face without expression, a heart with no beat.
Without you by my side, I’m just a flame without the heat.
To match you,
I need have a record of achievement;
I need have the leadship qualities;
I need have a sense of humor.
I must be an earning potential;
I must have a job skill.
And I must be intelligent.
Everything is nothing but self–building.
I will make actions after words.
If you were a teardrop,
in my eye, for fear of losing you, I would never cry. And if the golden sun should cease to shine its light, just one smile from you, would make my whole world bright.
To the world you may be just one person.
To me you may be the world
