Love－不安分的黑色

超應景。

cited from Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

〝

when you fall in love
it is a temporary madness
it erupts like an earthquake and then it subsides
and when it subsides you have to make a decision
you have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that
it is inconceivable that you should ever part
because this
is what love is

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement,
it is not the desire to mate every second of the day.
It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body.
No... don't blush. I am telling you some truths.
For that is just being in love;
which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away.
Doesn't sound very exciting, does it?
But it is!
