Stolen from a novel I am currently reading , just thought it was a nice passage...
"Just as a scarf covers your vulnerable throat from the cold, so does a deep and generous love protect what is vulnerable about you from the world. Love, like a scarf, wraps itself around you on the coldest of days, one more time around you when the winds of evil fortune blow their worst. And, like a scarf, a great love covers your heart.
But also like a scarf, love can be easily lost or left behind if one is not careful to remember it.
...should you leave this place while I remain here, I will hold you dear in my memory. After all, what is memory except a way of keeping the things you never wish to lose."
That was nice... (Well , I thought so at least)
