elevator love letter

I didn't get around to posting this for valentine's day, so I'm just going to do it now. My love for Freewill Astrology is no secret, and the horoscopes that week were especially amazing so I'm posting my favourite parts. Oh, Rob Brezny. You're so insightful.

Pisces Horoscope:
Happy Valentine Daze, Pisces! Borrowing the words of poet Pablo Neruda, I've prepared a love note for you to use as your own. Feel free to give these words to the person whose destiny needs to be woven more closely together with yours. I love you between shadow and soul. I love you as the plant that hasn't bloomed yet, and carries hidden within itself the light of flowers. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. Because of you, the dense fragrance that rises from the earth lives in my body, rioting with hunger for the eternity of our victorious kisses.

That's one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read. I can't seem to stop reading it. My love for those words are quickly moving from the realm of the socially acceptable to a slightly strange obsession.

Other love quotes (clearly also care of Rob Brezny):
"The hardest-learned lesson is that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind" -Mignon McLaughlin

"Love asks us that we be a little braver than is comfortable, a little more generous, a little more flexible. It means living on the edge more than we care to" -Norman Mailer

"The desire to force love to live only in its most positive form is what causes love ultimately to fall over dead" -Clarissa Pinkola Estes

And so now I'm curious about people's favourite quotes about love. When I search on the internet all that comes up are super-cheesey cliches that awaken the gag reflex rather than the heart. So what's your favourite quote about love?

Oh Dave.
So emo.

I like love songs rather than just love quotes.
