She had never been in love before. She'd tried to save herself the pain, but all her pretending and hiding the truth from herself had not saved her at all. And even though this love was painful, it was worth it to remember how the sight of him and the sound of his voice had made her heart beat faster, that feeling of wanting what was best for someone else, even if it broke her own heart.Melanie Dickerson
About This Quote
The true meaning of love can be about more than just having physical attraction to someone. When you fall in love, your heart bursts open and you feel like your soul is expanding. You can achieve anything because of how much you love someone else. When you fall in love, your heart opens up to the world, and you feel like you can do anything. Love is a feeling that takes over and makes you want to be the best person that you can be and gives you the strength and courage to face all of life’s challenges with a smile on your face.
