You want to know what makes me love YOU more than I loved HIM? It’s because when HE got me, I was perfectly unused. I was fearless and a hopeless romantic. When YOU got me, I was bruised and battered. I was afraid of the world and cynical about love, and yet, YOU didn’t leave….
There’s a difference between someone who likes you and someone who appreciates you.

There’s a difference between someone who likes you for your body and someone who likes you for your soul.

They both exist. They both fulfill a certain need, but you have to ask yourself first what you’re truly looking for and where this person is or where this person can meet you. You have to ask yourself if you’re asking for too much or you’re just asking the wrong person.

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and, when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two…..
