LOVE is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time. You are excited and eager but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
LOVE is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection.
It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his or her presence, even when he or she is away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying.
