There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk to love and feel without defense or reserve.

My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesnt go away it becomes a part of you step for step breath for breath. I will never stop grieving Bailey because I will never stop loving her. Thats just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined you dont get one without the other. All I can do is love her and love the world emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy.

Sleep my little baby-ohSleep until you wakenWhen you wake youll see the worldIf Im not mistaken...Kiss a loverDance a measureFind your nameAnd buried treasure...Face your lifeIts pain Its pleasureLeave no path untaken.

It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I cant even make the comparisons anymore because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. Its simply a matter of is and is no longer.

I dont love you anymore she whispered. I dont love you at all. His throat closed. Its all right sweetheart. I love you enough for both of us.

Would he find herWithout question.Would he save herAlways.

I love that you get cold when its 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when youre looking at me like Im nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And its not because Im lonely and its not because its New Years Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

I ask the impossible love me forever.Love me when all desire is gone.Love me with the single mindedness of a monk.When the world in its entiretyand all that you hold sacred advise youagainst it love me still more.When rage fills you and has no name love me.When each step from your door to our job tires you--love me and from job to home again love me love me.Love me when youre bored--when every woman you see is more beautiful than the lastor more pathetic love me as you always havenot as admirer or judge but withthe compassion you save for yourselfin your solitude.Love me as you relish your lonelinessthe anticipation of your deathmysteries of the flesh as it tears and mends.Love me as your most treasured childhood memory--and if there is none to recall--imagine one place me there with you.Love me withered as you loved me new.Love me as if I were forever--and I will make the impossiblea simple actby loving you loving you as I do
