Love is a cunning weaver of fantasies and fables.
Sappho (via lesbianfairytales)
Love can’t be undone, nor can it be fallen out of it.. Love has no on and off switch, and it last forever whether some want to admit to it or not.. Love is love.. Now, always and forever “liking” someone is another story :)

Hence the saying: “Just because I love you doesn’t mean I’m always going to like you.”

People always say that when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that’s not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.
“Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult (via kari-shma)
That’s not to say that I don’t want to love and be loved; just to say that it’s no longer a question of “You complete me.” What I need now, which is so different to what I needed ten, five, or even three years ago, is not filling, but a use for my fullness.

And when the destructive veins behind to reemerge, I want someone who will stand beneath me, holding the ladder I’m climbing to reach the blemishes, handing me the tools I need to smooth out the puckering in the paint as I go.

I don’t want anyone to complete me anymore, regardless of whether I feel complete or not. All I want is to be a girl standing in front of a boy, eyes full of tears, professing my love, and with ultimate resolve say, “You extend me.
She was bored. She loved, had capacity to love, for love, to give and accept love. Only she tried twice and failed twice to find somebody not just strong enough to deserve it, earn it, match it, but even brave enough to accept it.
William Faulkner, The Town: A Novel of the Snopes Family (via loveyourchaos)
The ones who love you will never leave you. Even if there are a hundred reasons to give up, they will find one reason to hold on.

What is Love? Do marriage vows seem to mean as much today as they used to? If you’ve heard anything about the increase in divorce rates, you may wonder.”
