What’s bothering me is you always seem ready to snap my head off my shoulders and I’m not comfortable with that. ↗

If the purpose of love is getting into bed; I guess prostitutes are the most auspicious lovers. ↗

Years of love, followed by heartache. Those are the years that define me. Those are the years that know– love’s eternity is you. ↗

I had my own bed. I slept in it alone, except for those times when we needed—not sex—but sex was how we got there. ↗

[I]t is not by being richer or more powerful that a man becomes better; one is a matter of fortune, the other of virtue. Nor should she deem herself other than venal who weds a rich man rather than a poor, and desires more things in her husband than himself. Assuredly, whomsoever this concupiscence leads into marriage deserves payment rather than affection. ↗

When I reach out, you take my hand.  When I smile, you mirror the expression. When I triumph, you glory as if it were your own. When I fail, you point to the light at the end. When I need, you tenderly provide. When I cry, you kiss away my tears. When I suffer,  you bleed. And you wonder why I love you? ↗

They had each other and there was a love between them that would withstand anything. Alina and I had always intuited, with no small wry pique, that, although our parents adored us and would do anything for us, they loved each other more. As far as I was concerned, that was the way it should be. Kids grow up, move on and find a love of their own. The empty nest shouldn't leave parents grieving. It should leave them ready and excited to get on with living their own adventure, which would, of course, include many visits to children and grandchildren. ↗
