25 Quotes That Remind You What It Was Like To Fall Madly In Love
Everybody needs a little love in their life.
YourTango Love may not always be the cutesy flowers, poems and chocolate, knight in shining armor kind of thing, but it's a part of life for a reason.
These beginning love quotes teach us a lot about not just first love, but the first time we fall in love with someone new.
No one ever said love was easy, but hey, nothing in life comes easy. If it did, life would be pretty dang boring if you ask me.
Love is all about honesty, communication, and being with someone who brings out the best possible you. It's about falling in love with your best friend ... finding someone who makes you smile when you've had a terrible day. Falling head over heels, obsessively in love with someone who lifts you up when you're so far down.
When times get rough in your relationship, it's easy to forget what those passionate, madly-in-love, hot-and-heavy romantic times can be like.
But that’s why we have quotes about new love beginnings like these. To spark that flame inside of us — the one that remembers every moment when our love was on fire.
Take it from me — don't let anything get in the way of true, romantic love. As cheesy as it sounds, listening to your heart is actually the best way to find out how you really feel.
Hopefully, these quotes on love will help you figure it out, and most of all, remind you of what it was like to fall fully, madly, deeply into love.
