Life wears me out with
its twists and turns
and hairpin curves.
I keep waiting for a long
peaceful stretch of
highway, bathed in
the rising sun;
a golden wheat field
to the left, a moss covered
pond with dragonflies to
the right.

The road turns to
gravel and rapidly
climbs uphill.
There are signs along
the way that promise
the world.
The road becomes narrow,
turns to dirt,
and ultimately disappears.

Love is not ownership---we don't own the person we love

2. he or she is their own person

3  the couple need not share the same interests as each is different and independent

4.  a loving couple nurtures and supports each other to further their goals/realise their dreams

5. in love, despite each lover being different, they converge in being united irrevocably in heart, mind and soul--throughout their life

6.  love is symbiotic relationship, equality and complete freedom

7.   at its height, love is spiritual and divine

8.   the love that has survived all adversity is the strongest ever

9.   love is not about the self but in caring more of the person treasured

10. love is stronger than death
