“I'd rather meander through a pit of vipers than love one more person, but since I'm on the subject of snakes, we all know one, or are one.” LoveHeartbreakBetrayalSnakesSnake Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“A vast number of people bemoan the lack of love in their lives and one must wonder if it's because they're looking for a "type" or have a list of requirements that someone else has to meet first, in which case it's no wonder that they miss out, because when you love, it's not that all that you were looking for is found in another, it's that the person you love ends up making you see they are what you wanted all along; love, after all, is usually found in unforeseen places with the most unexpected people.” LoveRomanceRelationshipsDating Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“Of course she wants him to forget her. The last place she wants to reside is in his thoughts. What an unpleasant place to be.” LoveRelationshipsForgetHeartbreakMemoryBreakupBroken HeartBitternessForgettingBreakups Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“Sometimes, oftentimes, people hold on to someone they love for self – because it's what they want; in rare cases, a person, who sincerely knows the meaning of love, which is sacrifice, loves enough to say goodbye and to walk away. They do it because they love someone enough to allow them to move on without them or to not be torn in multiple directions, which causes confusion, or because they feel that is their only choice. Loving like that is doing for another and denying self. It is sacrifice. It takes tremendous strength and the cost is loss and heart-ache but it's a price the rare are willing to pay because they truly love that much.” LoveLossSacrificeLetting GoMoving On Author:Donna Lynn Hope

“She screwed me for life," he lamented to the pretty young woman he desperately wanted to love but couldn't quite fall in love with. "I've had relationships before but she was the most peculiar, infuriating and damnable thing I ever dared care for!" "You want to forget her," his girlfriend said painfully. She rubbed his back wishing she didn't have to compete with a menacing memory. "That relationship, the strangest I've ever known, changed me," he confided regretfully. "Like an unwanted and destructive addiction." "She wronged you," the red-head beside him blurted out truthfully. "And she continues to wrong you because you let her. Ever since her you can't help but compare." He looked at her tenderly, his heart trying to break through ice. "You want to let go but you can't let go," she continued coolly. He looked into the distance feeling the one he drew close but seeing the one out of reach. How could he let go of something, or someone, that made him feel so alive? A sweet, supportive voice knowingly broke through his thoughts, "The challenge," she whispered, "lies within you...” LoveRelationshipsAddictionObsessionLost LoveAddicting Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“I must be out of my mind if I loved you in spite of everything you've done, and anyone else would condemn you for it, but I can't condemn you at all. In my own troubled mind, I loved you for it.” LoveAcceptanceSoulmatesInfatuation Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“It was evenings like that when beneath dim light and relaxing in a sultry bath that she missed him the most. A flicker of candlelight, wind breathing snow against the window and the soothing scent of creme caramel – all were a comfort to her as she closed her eyes, summoned memories and many a tender thought. She didn't feel deserving of the devotion bestowed upon her, but she had finally learned to accept its wondrous gift, knowing that love was the source of existence and its only end.” LoveMissingReflectionWinterDevotionSnowDevotedRemembering Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“We love because we can lose. If there was no threat of separation, no death to shake us to our core, we probably wouldn't love much at all.” LoveDeathSeparation Author:Donna Lynn Hope
“You wonder why he loves her, she's so unlike any other, but any man can love an ordinary woman. They’re everywhere and whereas he’s had other women love him before, they were women who loved a lot, and such love is fickle, never setting anyone apart. Attaining the love of someone known not to love is an honor and the highest level of love there is, because it’s rare, and real.” LoveDifferentRealRomanceAdorationRare Author:Donna Lynn Hope

“She's not ashamed of loving, although those she's loved are few in number; it was/is sweet and true. She's only ashamed she used love as an excuse.” LoveShameExcuseAshamedLovingExcuses Author:Donna Lynn Hope
