The pain of love lasts all ones life. There is no such thing as darkness, only a failure to see. Romance is about the little things.
Life is like a dog-sled team.
If you aren't the lead dog the scenery never changes. A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes. We do not remember days, we remember moments. Age does not protect you from love. But, love to some extent protects you from age.
