“Sometimes when we're not paying attention, relationships hap­pen.
There is no rule that requires two people in love to be ex­actly alike.

The shape of a smile.
Both of you can thrive on your differences, as long as you respect them.
You say tomato, he says tomahto .
Let it happen,
Dive in head first.
