My Neil, so innocent, actually thought that love was expressed in that way. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart, and said softly, “Neil, the love I want isn’t quite like that.” Neil furrowed his brow slightly, a look of genuine confusion on his face as he earnestly asked, “Then what kind of love is it?” I managed a wry smile; this kind of love was so complex that it felt impossible to describe with words. I lifted my hand and gently cupped his face, speaking softly, “It’s a love that cannot be expressed in words and mere action like a kiss.”

"I do. I always have." "I never thought you didn't." He looked at the chess board. He straightened one of his pawns that was already straight. "But love isn't the same as being there." He said it simply, without accusation, the way he might state a fact about weather or mathematics. "My teacher told us that. She said love is a verb. It's not just what you feel. It's what you do." Adrian could not speak. He sat across the chess board from his son and had nothing to say that was adequate to the moment, because his son had just explained to him, in seventeen words, what Sophia had been trying to explain to him for a decade.

But I know this version of me is learning something essential: Love isn’t proven by proximity. It’s proven by what you do with the distance.

Their love story was one for the ages, a testament to the power of connection and creativity. As they hugged, Akira whispered, "I'll paint our love story forever." Taro smiled, knowing their love would be a masterpiece. *The Wedding* Their wedding was a beautiful blend of traditional and modern elements. Akira's art studio was transformed into a stunning venue, filled with flowers, candles, and her vibrant paintings. Taro's colleagues and Akira's friends gathered to celebrate their love. As Akira walked down the aisle, Taro's eyes sparkled with happiness. They exchanged vows, promising to love and support each other through life's joys and challenges.

she whispers, "that's all I did, I fell in love with someone kind, someone who treated me like I mattered, and the world decided that was a crime worth dying for." "Love isn't a crime," I say, "the real crime is how we respond to it." She's quiet for a moment, then asks, "do you really believe that? Or are you just saying it because I'm supposedly your mate?" "I really believe it," I say, "I've always believed it, my mother taught me that before she died, she said love is the most powerful force in the world, that it can heal anything, save anyone, if we let it."

"Because love means nothing." The thudding of her heart reverberated in her ears, drowning out the sounds of the room as she forged ahead, her hands clammy within the confines of her gloves, her skin flushed with a mixture of nerves and fervor. "Allow me to posit that perhaps your perspective is skewed because you've never truly experienced love in its purest form. Love..." she paused, her voice hitching with emotion, "It transcends boundaries. It surpasses the confines of loyalty and devotion. It reaches depths that loyalty alone cannot fathom."

Maria replied with a sad tone. “What do you mean hold?” Daria asked again but Maria seemed hesitant, “I’m sorry if am offending you” Daria drew back. “No it’s fine I actually had a terrible experience with love” Marisa paused asking for another refill, “I fell in love with the most beautiful man I had ever seen, but he wasn’t in love with me at the time we met, my friend seduced him” she paused again. “And they had a fall out leading to his disappearance, so hear I am, unable to find love again”she said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

he says, his voice full of longing. Once, I would have loved to hear him say that. Once, the words would have meant the world to me. But now…now it is all different. I hold up my hand and tell him to come no closer. “Kaden, love is not what you think it is. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
