Favorite Quote:
&quot;To love, for us men, is to clasp one woman with our arms, feeling that she lives and breathes just as we do, suffers as we do, thinks with us, loves with us, and, above all, sins with us.&quot;<br /> Baroness Orczy

To love them it takes effort.
It takes constant work.
To love someone who has their eyes set on what they think is better.
To feel you not enough.
All the while you’re working to prove yourself.
You love because it feels right.
Not noticing the one who’s always there.
The one who cares and thinks that you’re as great as it can ever be.
That thinks the world of you.
So turn you attention on the one who’s there,
Who actually cares for you.
The one who loves you.
