You know you love someone when you want to share in their joys and sorrows; when their dreams and failures become your own. When the past no longer matters and the future is a pleasure you hold with all of your heart.

There are some that will say/ That a few hearts/ Will take on a sadness/ For all humankind/ And the sorrow is so deep/ That it touches a soul forever

There comes a moment, not measured with time, when you know that the past no longer holds regrets. Sadness slips away with an exhale and all the broken dreams become stepping stones to who you are now.

Even though my heart has been shattered a million times, there is a still a tiny part of me that believes in the possibility of true love.

Take the time to look inside someone and you will find much more than what lies on the surface. There are passions that run deep, hopes and fears hidden in the corners of the heart, strengths that cannot be broken and weaknesses that cripple. Love is the strongest of all for it bonds us, without speaking, to each other.

True, deep, satisfying love is created through the passing of time and existence. It is a completion of two souls, two hearts, entwined without end. It is a forever changing sea of tides that ebb and flow. It is simple and complex all at once. It is, just love.
