Leo Tolstoy, Russian to Valeria Arsenev
I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to
love in you that which is eternal and ever precious - your heart, your soul.
Beauty one could get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to
love it as speedily; but the soul one must learn to know. Believe me,
nothing on earth is given without labour, even love, the most beautiful
and natural of feelings.

Before I met you,
I thought I was happy,
and I was,
but I had never known
the rich contentment,
deep satisfaction,
and total fulfillment
you brought to me
when you came into my life.
Before I met you,
I felt a lot of things,
good things,
but I had never experienced
the indescribably intense
feelings I have for you.
Before I met you,
I thought I knew myself,
and I did,
but you looked deep inside me
and found fresh new things
for us to share.
Before I met you,
I thought I knew about love,
but I didn’t,
until I met you.
Love is a beautyful game that two play and both win.
