Age does not protect you from love.
But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep;
the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

This is a song about a man and his friend, who he loves, a bird,
who leaves the nest every year and returns to nest every spring
and
one spring for no apparent reason,
never returns ... never to come back home ...
Rondine Al Nido (song words translation)
 
Under the leaves of the old tower,
as the almond tree blossoms,
a friendly swallow has returned.
Every year she returns,
always in the same day.
She crosses mountains and sea to get back here.
Only love flees and does not return.
It makes you hope in vain,
but it does not return.
It makes you hope in vain,
but it does not return.
In the soft twilight of evening springtime is passing.
The swallows chatter in their flight
— they are drunk with light and air.
But I am sad and lonely.
You do not cross mountains and sea to come back to me.
My little one,
You were my whole life,
but you ran away,
never to return.
You ran away,
never to return!
Rondine Al Nido, by Luciano Pavarotti
The Fountains of Bellagio
Love has no desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires;
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Al Green-Lets Stay Together

Let's stay together[whispered]

I, I'm so in love with you,
whatever you want to do,
is alright with me,
'cause you make me feel
so brand-new,
I want to spend my life with you,
they say it seems, baby,
since we've been together,
loving you forever,
is what I need.
Let me be the one you come runnin' to,
I'll never be untrue,
Ooo baby,
Let's... Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad,

Whether time are good or bad,
happy or sad.

Why, somebody?,
Why do people break up,
oh, then turn around and make up?


I just can't see.
You'd never do that to me
(would you baby)?
Being around you,
is all I see.


Here's what I want to do:
Let's... we oughta stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad.


(come on)
Let's... Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad.
If you never need me you can set me free woman

Let's...Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad.
If you ayyyeee with me you can set me free woman

Let's...Let's stay together,
loving you whether, whether,
times are good or bad,
happy or sad.

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Love is like quicksilver in the hand.
Leave the fingers open and it stays.
Clutch it, and it darts away.
- Dorothy Parker

I have learned not to worry about love;
but to honor its coming with all my heart.

- Alice Walker

My Love is as
Great as the Eastern Sea
