Within you I lose myself...<br />
Without you I find myself<br />
Wanting to be lost again. - Author Unknown</p><p>
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. - H. Jackson Brown Jr. </p><p>
Where there is love there is life. - Mahatma Gandhi </p><p>
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was <br />
not my lips you kissed, but my soul. - Judy Garland </p><p>
Whatever our souls are made of, yours and mine are the same. - Emily Bronte </p><p>
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.- Unknown</p><p>
The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of. - Blaise Pascal</p><p>
His Hello, was the end of her endings. <br />
Her laugh, was their first step down the aisle. <br />
His hand, would be hers to hold forever. <br />
Her forever, was as simple as his smile. <br />
He said, She was what was missing. <br />
She said instantly she knew. <br />
She was a question to be answered... <br />
and his answer was I Do - Author Unknown</p><p>
Just because somebody doesn't love you the way you want them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. - Author Unknown</p><p>
A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,<br />
A song is no song 'til you sing it,<br />
And love in your heart<br />
Wasn’t put there to stay -<br />
Love isn’t love<br />
'Til you give it away. - Oscar Hammerstein</p><p>
As sweet and musical<br />
As bright Apollo’s lute, strung with his hair; <br />
And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods<br />
Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony. - William Shakespeare</p>
<p><br />
And now these three remain:<br />
Faith, Hope and Love,<br />
but the greatest of these is Love. - 1 Corinthians 13:13</p>
<p><br />
Love bears all things,<br />
Believes all things,<br />
Hopes all things,<br />
Endures all things.<br />
Love never fails. - 1 Corinthians 13:7,8</p><p>
I love you <br />
Not only for what you are <br />
But for what I am <br />
When I am with you. - Roy Croft</p><p>
My Heart has found its home in you <br />
And once nestled in your arms <br />
Nothing else would do <br />
My heart wants only you. <br />
My eyes have found their resting place <br />
And once my arms found your embrace <br />
My eyes just could not leave your face <br />
My eyes see only you. <br />
My ears have found the sound they love <br />
Your voice is like music from above <br />
My ears love to hear the sound of your voice so dear. <br />
My ears hear only you. <br />
My soulmate you are and always shall be <br />
For my heart is full of love you see <br />
I will love you faithfully and true, <br />
For my heart has found its home in you. - Thena Smith</p><p>
Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place. - Zora Neale Hurston</p><p>
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,<br />
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. - William Shakespeare</p><p>
We loved with a love that was more than love. - Edgar Allan Poe</p><p>
A kiss, when all is said, what is it?<br />
A rosy dot placed on the "i" in loving;<br />
'Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear. - Edmond Rostand</p><p>Best of luck with your Valentine's projects!</p><p><strong><span style="color: #6000bf; font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia;">Wish <em>shoe </em>stampin' fun!</span></strong></p>
