“Love is not a sentence.
It is a pattern.
You can whisper it with your mouth,
or you can prove it with your habits.
Show me in the way you protect what matters.
Show me in the way you keep your word.
Show me in the way you choose me when it is inconvenient.
Do not decorate me with promises.
Demonstrate me with consistency.
If you love me,
let it be visible in your discipline.
Let it be evident in your restraint.
Let it be obvious in how you love yourself.
Because the way you care for your own soul
is the blueprint for how you will care for mine.
Do not say it.
Build it.”

It’s rocky, slippery, and you can drown in it if you’re not careful. It creates ripples in the lives around us, and all we can hope for is to be a part of that river, no matter where it leads or how short the journey may be.
I hoped one day to be deep in the waters of a river that flowed back to me, one that spanned such a distance that I couldn’t see the shore.
But I knew in my heart I would always be the one standing on the outside, watching others fall into the deep end.”

The man I would love would be the man I could trust to love me for ever. I do not trust you. I did outstay my welcome once. I did get thrown into the gutter, and came near drowning in that sordid place.”
Source: Fraulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther
