ove has no other desire but to fulfill itself But if your 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. To wake at dawn with a winged heart And give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer For the beloved in your heart And a song of praise upon your lips.

When things seem too good to be true, it’s because of one thing: it’s about to break your heart . -Shizuru Kazuma If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were. -Kahlil Gibran

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. –Kahlil Gibran Exaggeration is truth that has lost its temper. –Kahlil Gibran Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. –Kahlil Gibran I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.—Kahlil Gibran If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were. —Kahlil Gibran The obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply.—Kahlil Gibran
