About This Quote

This is my favorite quote about true love. The fact that you will be with this person forever is something that cannot be taken away from you. When you are with someone you love, they are always there to catch you when you fall. They will always be by your side.

Everyone knows that falling in love is a beautiful thing, but falling in love with the wrong person can be very painful. You want to hold on to that feeling of falling but it is hard to do when the person is not the person you wish to spend your whole life with. But, I know you will find happiness one day because there is someone out there for everyone, no matter what it takes.
