Ive been in love before its like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. Youre not addicted yet but you like the sensation and you think you can still control things.You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If hes not there you feel like an addict who cant get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need youre willing to do anything for love.- By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

Anyone who is in love is making love the whole time even when theyre not. When two bodies meet it is just the cup overflowing. They can stay together for hours even days. They begin the dance one day and finish it the next or--such is the pleasure they experience--they may never finish it. No eleven minutes for them.

In real life love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.

This is what we call love. When you are loved you can do anything in creation. When you are loved theres no need at all to understand whats happening because everything happens within you.

When we meet someone and fall in love we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong there is nothing left How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it it destroys us. When we try to imprison it it enslaves us. When we try to understand it it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

If pain must come may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him.

When we love we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are everything around us becomes better too.

So I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.
