— Marcel Proust

“Every kiss provokes another. Ah, in those earliest days of love how naturally the kisses spring into life. How closely, in their abundance, are they pressed one against another; until lovers would find it as hard to count the kisses exchanged in an hour, as to count the flowers in a meadow in May.”

and so it goes

Strangers → Friends → Good Friends → Best Friends → Lovers → Strangers..

on lover's lips.

"Soul meets soul on lover's lips."

— Rose Franken

Anyone can be passionate 

but it takes real lovers to be silly.

a lover and a fighter.

I’m a lover and a fighter. I get angry easily, but I’m working on it. I sleep and think too much, but I get my shit done. I have a weakness for sweet talkers, but I’m learning and enforcing my boundaries. I don’t let many people in, but once they’re in, they’re there forever. I’m strong and independent and I’ve been broken, but never shattered.

Women

Women can be wonderful and fill your life with joy.

Women can be teasers and treat you like a toy.

Women can be callous and break your loving heart.

And Women can be dangerous and tear your life apart.

But! …..No matter how you take them,

as a lover,

a friend,

or foe,

We Men, can’t live without them,

And that’s all we need to know!

~ Michael Andrew Dare~

William Shakespeare

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see

The pretty follies that themselves commit.

would you every leave your sky?

one day the moon said to me, if your lover makes you cry why don't you leave your lover.. i looked at the moon and replied would you every leave your sky?

Just know that

I am strong because I am weak.

I am beautiful because I know my flaws.

I am a lover because I am a fighter.

I am fearless because I have been afraid.

I am wise because I have been foolish.

and

 I can laugh because I've known sadness.

lovers

Friends can become lovers and lovers become friends. There seems to be some confusion about whom and what is right just now. How? Well, your latest date may change their tune quite unexpectedly. They may prefer you to be someone they can rely on for continuous support and don't want love spoiling it. But a friend may have a powerful desire to get closer.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. 

not enough words

So many ways to say 'I Love You', but not enough words in the world to say how much I Love YOU.

someone is still in love

"If two past lovers remain friends, it's either someone is still in love, or someone is still hoping for a second chance.."

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
