"Sometimes your nearness takes my breath away; and all the things I want
to 
say can find no voice. Then, in silence, I can only hope my eyes will
speak 
my heart."
--Robert Sexton

"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth
there 
is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart
somewhere to 
receive it."
--Ivan Panin

Find that guy that will pick up every piece of your shattered heart &
put it 
back together; Replacing it with a piece of his.
