This is a passage from one of my fave books: A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. I believe he took it from the Bible:
This is what I know love to be:
Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful.
Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth.
It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.
Love is selfless... it should be given freely and received freely. Wanting someone MORE doesn't mean you love them more... it just means that you love less and obsess more.
