True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.

malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain,
causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow,
blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.

On Valentine's Day we think of those
Who make our lives worthwhile,
Those gracious, friendly people who
We think of with a smile.

I am fortunate to know you,
That's why I want to say,
To a rare and special person:
Happy Valentine's Day!

By Joanna Fuchs

We're all a little weird.
And life is a little weird.
And when we find someone whose
weirdness is compatible with ours,
we join up with them and fall
into mutually satisfying weirdness
and call it love
true love.
~Robert Fulghum, True Love~
