Remember the time we didn't fight,
Close to the time you spent the night,
You saw me dreaming and pulled me in tight,
Whispered to me "Everything will be alright",
A few months past and things got tense,
We'd argue because we're alike- we're dense,
I told you I love you the next day,
You said you knew I felt that way,
So you took my hand and made me leap,
With promises you couldn't keep,
Thank you, pillow, for catching my tears,
I know there's been many throughout the years,
One more stain added to the case,
Taking the make-up off my face

&ldquo;If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I&#039;m only a resounding noise , If I have the gift of knowledge, And if my faith moves mountains high, But have not love I am nothing&hellip; Though I know the One, Who holds the stars in the heavens, In the palm of His hand, If I give all I possess , To the poor and the helpless, I&#039;ll still gain nothing, Without love&hellip; Love&#039;s patient, True love is always kind, Love does not envy, Never brags, it&#039;s never proud, Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends, Love forgives&hellip; It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.&rdquo; (1 Corinthians 13:1-5,7)<br /> &ldquo;If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.&rdquo; John 15:18-19<br /> &quot;The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these the spirit blooms...&quot; ~ George Santayana
