How Being in Love is Like Owning a Dog by Taylor Mali.First of all, it’s a big responsibility, especially in a city like New York. So think long and hard before deciding on love. On the other hand, love gives you a sense of security: when you’re walking down

I love you for the way you never doubt me

If Thou Must Love Me by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love’s sake only. Do not say, “I love her for her smile—her look—her way
