Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.-

Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,

With silken lines, and silver hooks.

Love has no desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires; To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully.-

~Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

~- Pablo Neruda, “Love Sonnet XVII”

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.-
