If it's not going to be as sweet as this...
Saint Paul de Vence
If you do not gaze into each other's eyes lovingly like this...
Lyon, France
If he doesn't take time to be alone with you and bring you out on romantic dates...
L'Arpege, Paris
And if you can't be yourself when he takes you out on these romantic (and not-so-romantic) dates...
Prince Edward, Hong Kong
If you walk in the malls and don't hold hands...
Dad and Mom in Rockwell
If he doesn't kiss you every chance he gets...
Tuileries Garden, Paris
If your goodbyes are not as heartbreaking as this...
Lyon, France
If you do not look forward to growing old together...
Versailles, France
And know that you will never find happiness, comfort, and contentment in each other's presence...
Luxembourg Gardens, Paris
If you look at her and your heart doesn't smile a genuine, happy smile that reaches the corners of your mouth and brings a twinkle to your eyes...
Le Bistrot des Viviers, Nice
Then I wish you this line from one of my favorite movies:
"I want you to get swept away out there. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. Yeah, be deliriously happy or at least leave yourself open to be. I know it's a cornball thing, but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. I say, fall head over heels, find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head and listen to your heart. Cause the truth is, honey, there's no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven't lived a life at all. But you have to try, because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
- William Parish from Meet Joe Black
May your hearts be afire this Valentine's and forever and ever
