Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away!
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,
That the fervor and faith of a soul may be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear!
Oh the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns to her god when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose!

We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Tom Robbins

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon

What the world really needs is more love and less paperwork.

When he spoke, what tender words he used! So softly, that like flakes of feathered snow, They melted as they fell.

When I get older losing my hair many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a Valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?
John Lennon & Paul McCartney

When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it's safe inside your mouth.

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.
Natalie Clifford Barney

Whenever you have truth it must be given with love, or the message and the messenger will be rejected.

Whoso loves believes the impossible.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Wild Nights! Wild Nights! were I with thee
Wild Nights would be our luxury.
Futile the winds to a heart in port, Gone with the compass
Gone with the chart--Rowing in Eden.
Ah the Sea! Might I but moor-- Tonight in thee.
Emily Dickinson

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
Joseph Conrad

Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
Oscar Wilde

Women love men for their defects; if men have enough of them women will forgive them everything, even their gigantic intellects.
Oscar Wilde

Years of love have been forgot
In the hatred of a minute.
Edgar Allan Poe

Yes…whatever that may mean.
Charles, Prince of Wales
Heir to British throne when asked if he was in love.

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Oscar Wilde

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

You don't have to go looking for love when it's where you come from.

Henry Drummond

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama)
