she, with her affection and her gaiety, had been largely responsible for him having rediscovered the meaning of life, her love had driven him to the far corners of the Earth, because he needed to be rich enough to buy some land and live in peace with her for the rest of their days. It was his utter confidence in this fragile creature, that had made him fight with honor, because he knew that after a battle he could forget all the horrors of war in her arms, and that, despite all the women he had known, only there in her arms could he close his eyes and sleep like a child.
Paulo CoelhoDoes he love me? โYouโre asking the wrong question. What you need to know is are you in a position to give him the love he needs. And whatever happens or doesnโt happen will be equally gratifying, knowing that you are capable of love is enough. If it isnโt him, it will be someone elseโฆ Donโt try to keep a safe distance so as to see what happens. Donโt wait to be certain before you take a step. What you give, you will receive, although it might sometimes come from the place you least expect.
