Love can never grow old, Locks may lose their brown and gold, Cheeks may fade and hollow grow, But the hearts that love will know Never winter's frost and chill, Summer's warmth is in them still.
Love works in miracles every day: such as weakening the strong, and stretching the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy. - Marguerite De Valois
You're nothing short of my everything. - Ralph Block
My mind tells me to give up, but my heart won't let me. - Jennifer Tyler

True love is knowing a person's faults, And loving them even more for them.
The person who said: All is fair in love and war, Obviously wasn't the person being hurt! - Neve Campbell
Love is like a knife, it can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that will last a lifetime.

Deja Vu & Peace Is All We Need
18 years back, when I was in class 11th, I along with my friend Sandy (Sandeep Sharma) had formed a band called "Futurians".
Back then we had written a song called "Peace is all we need". No clue what inspired Sandy to start writting that song. Today while reading the song to Gamini (gave her all the lyrics we had written at that time couple of days back, as she has also started writing songs now), I just realised words written then is what we saw on the TV during Mumbai Carnage of 26/11. Each and every line reminded me of images seen on TV during those 3 days. Seemed like deja vu.
It reads like a poem written by a kids, but then again that's what we were then :)
Here are the lyrics:
"Peace Is All We Need"
Man is killing a man
We can't live, even if we can
Bodies laid down the lane
I can see it through the window pane
Guns are erected on buildings top
It is the common man being shot
All you can do is scream and shout
You're pulled away by a cop
Chorus
What is the reason behind this
Can't understand at all
All we need is Peace
And peace is all we need
Clothes of people are full of blood
Some are killed and some just hurt
When I walk through empty streets
Blood strains are all I can see
There is so much insecurity
I can't cool down my curiosity
Where are those days of joy and gaiety
But now all I see is inhumanity
Chorus
Flags brought up, flags brought down
Whose the king and whose the clown
You can see the faces with the frown
Its fear gripping the town
Oh God help them if you can
On all the killing there should be ban
Get rid of all this craziness
There should be endless reign of kindness
Chorus
There should be room for everyone
Tomb for all those gone
For them we all mourn
And in despair we walk alone
Chorus
