First love

One could fall in love many times during the course of a lifetime, but the first rush of love always holds a special place in our hearts. The novelty, like the first drops of dew on an untouched leaf, of the feeling makes it special and unforgettable. The "first love" quotes below develop on the theme of this treasured rush called first love.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

You don't marry someone you can live with,
you marry the person who you cannot live without.

Two Hearts,
Two Minds,
In time,
Did find,
One Love,
One Aim,
Two paths
The same!

A bell is no bell 'til you ring it,
A song is no song 'til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay -
Love isn’t love
'Til you give it away.

Love is like a mirror. When you love another you become his mirror and he becomes yours....And reflecting each other's love you see infinity.

Love, an emotion so strong that you would give up everything. To just feel it once, to know that you are part of something special. To know that you can feel what love really is; to know, to feel, to love.

"Love is like a glass, so handle it with care; once it's broken, it's hard to repair."

"Love is like a shadow, when you chase it, it runs away, when you turn back and walk away, it follows you."

"Love is only love when you have someone to share it with, otherwise it's a feeling that can haunt you the rest of your life until you find the right person to give your love to!"

"'I love you', are three words with infinite meanings, but only one feeling."

"Love is the greatest feeling you will ever have, yet it is also one of the greatest sorrows. There is so much suffering, but then there are times when the crying, pain, and heartache is worth it. Those moments are perfect, they are right. Those moments make all the suffering worth while. It's those moments we should live for."

"L-land of sorrow
O-ocean of tears
V-voice of heart beats
E-end of life"

"Love is as strong as death; its jealousy as unyielding as the grave. It burns like a blazing fire; like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away."

"Love is the passion that we feel inside of our hearts that we can't hide. We pretend to hide it, but it burns us more and more until the pain grows and grows and it never ends."

"Love is like a flower, give it some time, patience and lots of tender loving care; and watch it bloom into something wonderful before your eyes."

"Love is when there are a million things you want to say to someone, but when they look you in the eyes and hold you in their arms nothing in life matters other than being with that person at that moment."

"Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time."

I light a candle every night
Sending wishes to my angels above
Keep him safe this man I love
Watch over him and show your light
Let him know
As I close my eyes to sleep
I am in his arms asI dream

Two hearts intertwined...
Different views...
Different dreams...
Different needs...
Different wants...
Bound by a fragile string called LOVE...
Union as willed by GOD...
A journey in life...
May be pounded by the forces of nature...
May be struck by the fiercest lightning...
Yet two hearts bound by a delicate twine...
STRONG enough...
To stand the test of time.

Love is a shy smile,
a sweet hello,
a soft caress...
Love is two hands entwined,
a lingering kiss,
a swelling of the heart...
Love is undeniable,
unforgettable,
unimaginable,
and what every heart yearns for...

I wait for you
anxious to see your face.
I stand and watch,
looking for the first sign of your arrival.
I finally see you,
I take a second look to make sure you're really there. My pulse races and I crack a smile,
this is what I've been waiting for.
You begin to approach,
you say, "Sorry, I'm late.
" I say, "No problem." But I think to myself,
'I'd have waited forever.'

Love is not needing a snooze button on your alarm clock
because when it goes off the first time in the morning
the thoughts of your loved one
make it impossible to fall back asleep.

Love is something you can't describe like the look of a rose, the smell of the rain, or the feeling of forever

The sweet, rustic smell of the rain, Fills my nose, my head, and my brain. The springtime showers soak my dress, and toes tingle with a grassy caress. The beauty of this day is lost to me, As the deaf man hears not the melody. For all Nature's wonders seem so dim, When I am here, standing next to him.

Real love is feeling like being a part of that person's life almost isn't enough. It's more like a feeling that you would live in the same skin with them if you could and share every thought, heart beat, and emotion as one.

Love means the warmth of the sun,
the aroma of a rose,
the breeze of the sea,
but as you can see
it never means the same for anyone.
Love acquires its true meaning
by experiencing it for the first time
because only then can you define it.

One look
One smile
One touch
One embrace
One kiss
One love
Two people
Two minds
Two souls
Two destinies
One road
One journey
One ending
Together.

Love is a decision not an emotion or feeling, that if made from the heart will outlast anything...

A Friend's Love says: " If you ever need anything, I'll be there." True Love says: " You'll never need anything; I'll be there."

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less.

Love feels no burden,
thinks nothing of trouble,
attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...

We sat side by side in the morning light
and looked out at the future together.

Marriage is not a ritual or an end.
It is a long, intricate,
intimate dance together
and nothing matters more
than your own sense of balance
and your choice of partner.

When you love someone,
all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

If asked why I love her I would say
It’s the sway in her hips,
the thickness in her thighs.
It’s the lust in her lips,
the love in her eyes.
It’s the softness of her skin,
the silk in her hair.
It’s the twist in her walk;
it’s the sweetness in her talk.
It’s the way she loves me
that makes me love her each day.
That is what I would say.

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.

You know you are in love
when you see the world in her eyes,
and her eyes everywhere in the world.
