Diversity is beauty 

Tall, dark and handsome…the quintessential image of the charming stranger that sweeps the proverbial romance heroine off her feet; yet the heroine is always fair, lithe and dainty.

Let me not to the marriage 

of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever- fixed mark

That looks on tempests and

is never shaken.

-   Shakespeare

I fell in love with the way her eyes

shone when she laughed.

I fell in love with the way she liked

The smell of irises and old books.

I fell in love with all the small things.

I fell in love with her eyes and they

never let me go.

I fell completely, utterly,

madly in love with you.

If I could, I would catch shooting stars

Right from the heavens so that you could gaze upon them everyday.

I would make a bouquet of a hundred

dandelion heads so that you may have a thousand wishes.

I would spin gold and moonlight to give

You starry wings….

He held me in his arms so close,

I could hear his steady heartbeat.

“I love you”.

He said,

And in that whisper,

I heard the roar of a thousand promises.
