Despite the cliché title, I truly witnessed a love that brought me to tears when I got home from work last night. I work as a waiter at a hotel. Last night，this elderly(Late 60's/Early 70's), seemingly wealthy couple came into the restaurant and my co-worker seated them. We usually do our own tables, but because we were so busy last night，we helped each other out. At one point，the elderly couple signaled to me that they were ready to order. Once again we were super busy，I usually find it rude when people go out of their way to make their order, but once I took their order I understood why. The husband began ordering and started stuttering to an extent I've never heard before. It was very clear that he had a speech disorder. I could tell the wife had told her husband very extensively what she wanted, as a way for him to practice ordering. It took a while for him to order, and in the meantime, she was sitting there, and she looked so proud, and content, despite her husband...

  Huff Post is always a little curious about why some couples split apart and others stick together like glue. But we are especially interested in those couples who met when they were kids. We found a few of these couples, and asked them to share their secrets: Just hang on tight for the ride! Joy (51) and Bob (55) met when she was 17 and he was 20. They have been married for 35 years and have two children, ages 25 and 22. "I think we always are working together — like good teammates! We are there for each other. Bob is in a Barbershop chorus; I tell people that I don't sing but I am the best audience member around. We don't have to do everything alike, and we are always open to trying new things (like the tandem bike we just bought). I could never imagine sharing my love or my life with any other man." 2. Accept that life comes with some funny twists. Alan (62) and Harriett (58) met when she was 15 and he was 19. They have been married for 37 years (together for 43) ...

When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky. I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night. I'd like to ride the wind to fly home. Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me. Dancing with my moon-lit shadow, It does not seem like the human world. The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge, Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart? People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart, The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane, This has been going on since the beginning of time. May we all be blessed with longevity Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, lady, were no crime We would sit down and think which way To walk and pass our long love’s day. Thou by the Indian Ganges'side Shouldst rubies find: I by the tide Of Humber would complain.  I would love you ten years before the flood, And you should, if you please, refuse Till the conversion of the Jews. My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow; An hundred years should go to praise Thine eyes and on thy forehead gaze; Two hundred to adore each breast, But thirty thousand to the rest; An age at least to every part, And the last age should show your heart. For, Lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate. But at my back I always hear Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity. Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound My echoing song: then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honour turn to d...

Love by Roy Croft I love you, Not for what you are, But for what I am When I am with you. I love you, Not only for what You have made of yourself, But for whatYou are making of me. I love you For the part of me That you bring out; I love you For putting your hand Into my heaped-up heart And passing over All the foolish, weak things That you can’t help Dimly seeing there, And for drawing out Into the light All the beautiful belongings That no one else had looked Quite far enough to find. I love you because you Are helping me to make Of the lumber of my life Not a tavern But a temple; Out of the works Of my every day Not a reproach But a song. I love you Because you have done More than any creed Could have done To make me good And more than any fate Could have done To make me happy. You have done it Without a touch, Without a word, Without a sign. You have done it By being yourself. Perhaps that is what Being a friend means, After all.

Sonnet 19 Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood; Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,To the wide world and all her fading sweets;But I forbid thee one most heinous crime: O! carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow,Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;Him in thy course untainted do allowFor beauty's pattern to succeeding men. Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong, My love shall in my verse ever live young. Sonnet 130 My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the b...

I was in college and was sleeping deeply in my dorm room bed after a rough day of classes. Suddenly, I heard the door open and light from the hallway streamed in. My best friend and roommate was standing there unsteadily. His girlfriend had broken up with him earlier that day and he had spent the evening downtown in a bar trying to drown his sorrows with 13 whiskey sours. I got up and helped him to climb up into the bunk bed above me. He didn’t look so good. His face was whiter than normal and he could barely walk. After fending off some idiots on our floor who tried to get him to go back downtown for more drinking I finally got him to lay down. After a minute he said he was going to be sick. I managed to get him to the bathroom down the hall but he couldn’t throw up. I walked him slowly back to bed and got him into the top bunk again. I was just about to drift back off to sleep when...

Sonnet 116 By Shakespeare Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments.  Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark\ That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his highth be taken Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed. But t...

By Jorges Luis Borges I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the moon of the jagged suburbs. I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked long and long at the lonely moon. I offer you my ancestors, my dead men, the ghosts that living men have honoured in marble: my father’s father killed in the frontier of Buenos Aires, two bullets through his lungs, bearded and dead, wrapped by his soldiers in the hide of a cow; my mother’s grandfather -just twentyfour- heading a charge of three hundred men in Perú, now ghosts on vanished horses. I offer you whatever insight my books may hold. whatever manliness or humour my life. I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never been loyal. I offer you that kernel of myself that I have saved somehow -the central heart that deals not in words, traffics not with dreams and is untouched by time, by joy, by adversities. I offer you the memory of a yellow rose seen at sunset, years before you were born. I offer you explanationsof yourself, th...

As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture; But I stood so still sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water, Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died; And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and I am at least sure that I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things that were to fail later. ——Robert Pen Warren

1. There are some people who think love is sex and marriage and six o’clock-kisses and children, and perhaps it is, Miss Lester. But do you know what I think? I think love is a touch and yet not a touch. ——Salinger  Heart of Broken Story 2.  God kisses the finite in his love  and man the infinite. —— Tagore 3. I never saw a Moor-I never saw the Sea-Yet know I how the Heather looksAnd what a Billow be.I never spoke with GodNor visited in Heaven-Yet certain am I of the spotAs if the Checks were given. ——Dickinson 4. Funeral Blues He was my North, my South, my East and West.

1. Let us use it while we may snatch those joys that haste away!  Earth her winter coat may cast, and renew her beeauty past; But, our winter come, in vain we solicit spring again;  And when our furrows snow shall cover, Love may return but never lover.  Without you? I'd be a soul without a purpose.  Without you? I'd be an emotion without a heart.  I'm a face without expression, A heart with no beat.  Without you by my side, I'm just a flame without the heat.  2.  If I were to fall in love, It would have to be with you. Your eyes, your smile, The way you laugh, The things you say and do. Take me to the places, My heart never knew. So, if I were to fall in love, It would have to be with you.

  1. Oh, my love, my darling, I have hungered for you touch a long time. And time goes by so slowly, and time can do so much. Are you still mine? I need your love, God speed your love to me. 2. I love to be the one you always think of, The one you share the joys and hardships with, I'll always love to be the one you love. 3. My eyes are the stars over your window, Gazing affectionately at you every night.

1.  I have been sleeping all alone, You have been staring in my dreams. I want to kiss you, my baby, I want to kiss you tonight. 2. My love, You are like a flower, So sweet and pure and fair. 3. I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you.  I just can't believe the one to love this feeling, too.  I now know how sweet a kiss could be. Like the summer sunshine, Your sweetness over me.  I shall do one thing in this life, One thing certain, that is: Love you, Long for you, And keep wanting you till I die.  Forgive me for needing you in my life;  Forgive me for enjoying the beauty of your body and soul;  Forgive me for wanting to be with you when I grow old. 

  1. Thank you for standing behind me In all that I do I hope you're as happy with me As I am with you 2. It's your loving and your caring And knowing that you're near That gentle touch you have Make my troubles disappear 3. My love is like the grasses Hidden in the deep mountains. Though its abundance increase, There is none that knows.

  1. Love is more than a word, It says so much. When I see these four letters, I almost feel your touch. This only happened since I fell in love with you. Why this word does this, I haven't got a clue. 2. You're always there for me When things tend to go wrong It's that faith you have in me That makes our love strong 3. Sweetheart, My thoughts are deep into you From the moment that I wake up And to the whole day through Happy Valentine's Day

  Short poem 1. If I could save time in a bottle the first thing that I'd like to do is to save every day until eternity passes away just to spend them with you If I could save time in a bottle the first thing that I'd like to do is to save every day until eternity passes away just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I'd save every day like a treasure and then again I would spend them with you 2.  Thank you for comforting me when I'm sad Loving me when I'm mad Picking me up when I'm down Thank you for being my friend and being around Teaching me the meaning of love Encouraging me when I need a shove But most of all thank you for Loving me for who I am

 Short poem 1. Never give up, Never lose hope. Always have faith, It allows you to cope. Trying times will pass, As they always do. Just have patience, Your dreams will come true. So put on a smile, You'll live through your pain. Know it will pass, And strength you will gain 2. Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That can never fly.  Hold fast to dreams  For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen only with snow
