before "love month" ends

a list of love quotes that are newly close to my heart, for no reason at all (and probably for future reference, e.g. the day i do fall in love haha) :

We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them.
We say we love trees, yet we cut them down.
And some people still wonder why some are afraid
when they are told they are loved....Unknown.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities
or pride; so I love you because I knew no other
way than this, where 'I' does not exist, nor 'you'.
So close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so
close that your eyes close as I fall asleep....Pablo Neruda.

I love you, not for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you....Roy Croft.

Love creates an "us" without
destroying a "me"....Unknown.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction
that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather,
loved in spite of ourselves....Victor Hugo.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength
while loving someone deeply gives you courage....Lao-Tsu.

Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life,
love gives us a fairy tale....Unknown.

To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose, the next best....William M. Thackeray.

To love someone means to see him as
God intended him....Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

There is a time for risky love. There is a time for
extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out
your affections on one you love. And when the time
comes -- seize it, don't miss it....Max Lucado.

The joy of late love is like green firewood when set aflame,
for the longer the wait in lighting, the greater heat it
yields and the longer its force lasts....Chrétien De Troyes.

it's prom season, and my brothers just had theirs :) ezra was even prom prince hehe :p anyway, i loved to hear that they enjoyed their prom cause i really want to forget mine. when they asked me about my memories, i couldn't think of a good one. maybe because my prom wasn't what i wanted it to be, and my date wasn't who i wanted him to be. more than 5 years have passed since prom.. and i've been single for almost 5 years now. and honestly after a few useless guys, i've never really known the meaning of any of the love quotes listed above and someday maybe i will. but before that day happens, i'm ok with imagining how falling in love's supposed to be, because i know that the person who'll matter will probably be far greater than what i expect :) and i seriously believe that.
