Here are some thoughts on love that I appreciate:
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and border and salute each other.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.
~George Sand
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outwards together in the same direction.
~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
… and we ourselves shall be loved for a while and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead, and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
~Thornton Wilder
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
~Emily Brontë
Happy Valentine's Day!

I think so, as well. It seems to acknowledge the inherent individuality in each of the lovers.
