In this quote, Elton John reflects on the mixture of forgetfulness and fascination in relationships.

This combination of lightheartedness and sincere admiration captures the complexity of love, where small details may slip one's mind but the emotional essence remains strong.
In practice
In a romantic letter to a partner, you might use this quote to express appreciation.
I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership. The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
I hate to say this, but I always listen to the music and the instrumentation first, and then grab on to the lyrics later.
Don't be afraid to let her into your heart and when your down, don't try to carry the whole world on your shoulders.
When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano's is the most ungainly rock' n' roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis.
The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
O Love! what hours were thine and mine, In lands of palm and southern pine; In lands of palm, of orange-blossom, Of olive, aloe, and maize and vine!
No one leads people to Jesus; He leads people to Himself. All the pressure's off; just go love everybody without agenda.
What dire offence from am'rous causes springs, What mighty contests rise from trivial things.
Love's stories written in love's richest books. To fan the moonbeams from his sleeping eyes.
Is it easy to love God' asks an old author. 'It is easy,' he replies, 'to those who do it.' I have included two Graces under the word Charity. But God can give a third. He can awake in man, towards Himself, a supernatural Appreciative love. This is of all gifts the most to be desired. Here, not in our natural loves, nor even in ethics, lies the true centre of all human and angelic life. With this all things are possible.
