To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth– I count that something of a miracle.

About This Quote

To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth—I count that something of a miracle. If someone puts their arms around you and they are warm, you can be sure that they love you. Though there are times when people hug you to be nice, it feels great to know that the person who is hugging you is feeling something for you. It has been said that there are no accidents in love because it’s impossible to meet the right person at the right time unless you’re open to meeting someone new.

But what about when it doesn’t work out? What happens then? It takes courage to deal with the pain associated with failure. We all want what we can’t have and though we don’t realize it, we often act the way we want the other person to act toward us.
