Love is Love no matter old you are, and I knew if I gave you enough time, you’d come back to me.
What mattered most was knowing that love was mine to give, without strings or expectations.
My first thoughts after waking are – and always have been – of you.
It’s never too late to do the right thing.
Frequency of sex – Women sometimes wanted; men always needed.
Little girls. They could melt the toughest hearts.
It hadn’t been so long ago, yet sometimes she felt that she’d been an altogether different person back then.
I want to wake up with you beside me in the mornings. I want to spend my evenings looking at you across the dinner table. I want to share every mundane detail of my day with you and hear every detail of yours. I want to laugh with you and fall asleep with you in my arms.
Does trust have to be earned. Or is it simply a matter of faith?
You never answered my question, about what you want to do with your life. Maybe my dreams aren’t that complicated. Maybe I think that a job is just a job. What does that mean? Maybe I don’t want to be defined by what I do. Maybe I’d like to be defined by what I am.
If we’d never met, I think I would have known my life wasn’t complete. And I would have wandered the world in search of you, even if I didn’t know who I was looking for.
I love you now for what we’ve already shared, and I love you now in anticipation of all that’s to come.
Love can sometimes achieve the impossible.
I love you, Gabby, more than you’ll ever know. You’re everything I’ve ever wanted in a wife. You’re every hope and every dream I’ve ever had, and you’ve made me happier than any man could possibly be. I don’t ever want to give that up. I can’t.
If pinpointing God’s presence were really that simple, then he supposed the beaches would be more crowded in the mornings. They would be filled with people on their own quests, instead of people jogging or walking their dogs or fishing in the surf.
It was easy to idealize someone you barely knew.
Love hurts. There is nothing as painful as heartbreak. But in order to learn to love again you must learn to trust again.
The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it’s over. Those two elements always go together.
Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.
Stick two different people with two different sets of expectations under one roof and it ain’t always going to be shrimp and grits on Easter.
