& the best apple is the highest one in the tree

You’re the apple of my eye.

& I want to stand by you in every circumstance.

You say I’d not like your weakness and your lousy traits.

I say why not? Since I ordered the whole package I will accept it with gladness.

“To love another person is to see the face of God.”
-Les Miserables

“Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.”
-Shakespeare

“Relationships–of all kinds–are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.”
-Kaleel Jamison
