When love is not madness it is not love.

Love all trust a few do wrong to none.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.

Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someones bad qualities because they somehow complete you.

I can feel Peeta press his forehead into my temple and he asks So now that youve got me what are you going to do with me I turn into him. Put you somewhere you cant get hurt.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that and living alone wont either for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken or betrayed or left or hurt or death brushes near let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Hes not perfect. You arent either and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once causes you to think twice and if he admits to being human and making mistakes hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isnt going to quote poetry hes not thinking about you every moment but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Dont hurt him dont change him and dont expect for more than he can give. Dont analyze. Smile when he makes you happy yell when he makes you mad and miss him when hes not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys dont exist but theres always one guy that is perfect for you.

Have you ever been in love Horrible isnt it It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

Declarations of love amuse me. Especially when unrequited.
