“I did not have to learn to love you: You were chosen for me. I knew that the first time I saw you.

“What is gentlest in love is love's violence.
Losing yourself in love, you reach love's goal.
Love makes you suffer, as love makes you whole.
Love steals your everything and makes you rich.
Love is both meaningless and poetry.
Captured by love, by love you are set free.”
― Marilyn Nelson
