I can't find a man I want, and I'm beginning to think the problem is me. Maybe I expect too much. Maybe I'm holding out for something that doesn't even exist." She'd voiced her secret fear. Maybe grand passion was just a dream. With all the kissing she'd done in the past few months, she'd not once been overcome with desire. Her parents certainly hadn't had any great passion between them. Come to think of it, she wasn't sure she'd ever seen grand passion outside of a movie theater or a book. .Karen Marie Moning
About This Quote
Being in love is a glorious feeling, but it can also be terrifying. There are times when you want to throw caution to the wind and simply give your heart away. Or there are times when you want to hold on tight to your heart, never releasing it unless you're certain of true love. Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll meet someone who loves you just as much as you love them.
But if that doesn't happen, then it's up to you to find that person who loves you the right way. If you're willing to wait for that special someone, then maybe someday they'll come along. But if they don't show up, maybe it's time for you to move on.
