We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.
The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.
The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and the vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. Loving makes love. Loving makes itself. We waste time looking for the perfect lover instead of creating the perfect love. Wouldn't that be the way to make love stay?

It was as though I had dreamt the perfect lover, who vanished as I woke, leaving me pining and surly.
