Not to Keep
They sent him back to her. The letter came Saying... And she could have him. And before She could be sure there was no hidden ill Under the formal writing, he was in her sight, Living. They gave him back to her alive How else? They are not known to send the dead And not disfigured visibly. His face? His hands? She had to look, and ask, "What was it, dear?" And she had given all And still she had all they had they the lucky! Wasn’t she glad now? Everything seemed won, And all the rest for them permissible ease. She had to ask, "What was it, dear?" "Enough," Yet not enough. A bullet through and through, High in the breast. Nothing but what good care And medicine and rest, and you a week, Can cure me of to go again." The same Grim giving to do over for them both. She dared no more than ask him with her eyes How was it with him for a second trial. And with his eyes he asked her not to ask. They had given him back to her, but not to keep. Robert Frost |

Quotes
1)The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves,and not twist them to fit our own image.Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Thomas Merton 2) It should be a priviledge to say I Love You to someone.It shouldnt be something you say because you feel like it.A priviledge that is earned.They say you have to earn the right to be loved. No Love is unconditional,if you Love someone,they dont have to earn it.But the right to tell someone you Love them?That has to be earned.You have to earn the right to be believed. C JoyBell

great song by a great artist!
Alicia Keys - Like You'll Never See Me Again If I had no more time No more time left to be here Would you cherish what we had? Was I everything that you were looking for? If I couldn't feel your touch And no longer were you with me I'd be wishing you were here To be everything that I've been looking for I don't want to forget the present is a gift And I don't want to take for granted The time you may have here with me 'Cause Lord only knows another day here's not really guaranteed So every time you hold me Hold me like this is the last time Every time you kiss me Kiss me like you'll never see me again Every time you touch me Touch me like this is the last time Promise that you'll love me Love me like you'll never see me again How many really know what love is? Millions never will Do you know until you lose it? That it's everything that we are looking for When I wake up in the morning And you're beside me I'm so thankful that I found Everything that I've been looking for I don't wanna forget the present is a gift And I don't wanna take for granted The time you may have here with me 'Cause Lord only knows another day here's not really guaranteed So every time you hold me Hold me like this is the last time Every time you kiss me Kiss me like you'll never see me again |

“I love you, in my mind where my thoughts reside, in my heart where my emotions live, and in my soul where my dreams are born. I love you.”
― Dee Henderson “I needed him like I'd never needed anyone.”― Becca Fitzpatrick “His hands lay flat on either side of him, his arms at his sides. He seemed barely to be breathing; she wasn't sure she was breathing herself. She slid her own hand across the bedsheet, just far enough that their fingers touched-so lightly that she would have probably hardly been aware of it had she been touching anyone; as it was, the nerve endings in her fingertips pricked softly, as if she were holding them over a low flame. She felt him tense beside her and then relax. He had shut his eyes, and his lashes cast fine shadows against the curve of his cheekbones. His mouth curled into a smile as if he sensed her watching him, and she wondered how he would look in the morning, with his hair messed and sleep circles under his eyes. Despite everything, the thought gave her a jolt of happiness. She laced her fingers through his. "Good night," she whispered. With their hands clasped like children in a fairy tale, she fell asleep beside him in the dark.” ― Cassandra Clare

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.

Wisdom
From the Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz
3. Don’t Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say, I love her for her smile . . . her look . . . her way Of speaking gently . . . for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought A sense of pleasant ease on such a day- For these things in themselves, Beloved, may Be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, May be unwrought so. Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“None of us can choose where we shall love...” - Susan Kay
“To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too. ” ― Victoria Moran “Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete. Who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. Its about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing all the way to your bones that she's simply the best person you've ever known.- Anthony Bridgerton”

"It is also good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation."

“Have you ever been lost in a kiss? I mean pure inebriation. When you became aware that the greatness of this being, was breathing into you. The essence of your passionate being opened by the same mouth and delivered back to you, over and over again - the memory to last the rest of your life. A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. Timeless, eternal, spiritual.― Saul Williams
“Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without .― James Baldwin “I love you, he thought, looking at her. I love every part of you, every thought and word...the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I want you with ten different kinds of need at once. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you'll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to every question my heart could ask.”― Lisa Kleypas
