Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body.

Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.”
