You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shade when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes, you close your window. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling.

It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,

it is not easily angered,

but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

You love them because they sing a song only your heart can understand.

If you're looking for the word that means caring for someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want, no matter how much it destroys you, it's love!
