Stealing Someone Else's Words Again

This is a re-post from my prior blog, and actually isn't something I myself wrote. But from time to time I enjoy reading, so I thought you might as well. I apologize in advance for the egregious misuse of quotation marks. I cut and pasted. :)

Thanks to Jess for the following:

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'"

"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.

"Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning."

"You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel."

"Love is not blind; it simply enables one to see things others fail to see."

"Love is one of the hardest words to say and one of the easiest to hear."

"Love is saying 'I feel differently' instead of 'You're wrong.'"

"When you smiled you had my undivided attention. When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever."

"I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you."

"It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel."
