Valentine's Day draws near so what the heck, some quotes and a poem.

-"Love is when you can't sleep at night because reality is finally better than your dreams."-Dr. Seuss

- “If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”

-“I would rather have eyes that cannot see; ears that cannot hear; lips that cannot speak, than a heart that cannot love” – Robert Tizon

-“Trying to make someone fall in love with you is about as pointless as trying to control who you fall in love with.”

-“It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.”

-“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.” - Brandi Snyder

-“True Love burns the brightest, But the brightest flames leave the deepest scars.”

-“When you smiled you had my undivided attention. When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever.”

-“To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.” –Madonna

-"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything." – Katharine Hepburn

-"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage." – Lao-Tzu

-“Love is a game that two can play and both win.” – Eva Gabor

-“It's so easy to fall in love but hard to find someone who will catch you.” – Author Unknown

-“Like I've always said, love wouldn't be blind if the braille weren't so damned much fun.” – Armistead Maupin, Maybe the Moon

-“True love doesn’t come to you, it has to be inside you.” –Julia Roberts

-"Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever." -The Crow

-“You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.” – David Harkins
