I am not a believer in love at first sight. For love, in its truest form, is not the thingof starry-eyed or star-crossed lovers, it is far more organic, requiring nurturing and timeto fully bloom, and, as such, seen best not in its callow youth but in its wrinkled maturity. Like all living things, love, too, struggles against hardship, and in the process shedsits fatuous skin to expose one composed of more than just a storm of emotion—one of loyaltyand divine friendship. Agape. And though it may be temporarily blinded by adversity, it never gives in or up, holding tight to lofty ideals that transcend this earth andtime—while its counterfeit simply concludes it was mistaken and quickly runs off tofind the next real thing. Richard Paul Evans
About This Quote

When you first meet someone, the chemistry is so wild that you are immediately attracted to them. This is something that can happen on first sight, but it also happens on first meeting new people. Chemistry is a beautiful thing, but it does not necessarily mean that you will be in love with the person forever.
