"Just so you know," he said, standing behind her now because she had already passed him. She stopped walking to hear what he had to say. "I'm not surprised. Also, I was never dating Donna. That's not how I knew her."

“Farkle, can you please look at me?” She didn’t expect it to come out so desperate, but it did and her eyes were pleading for him to come back to her.

“Love is complex: considered simply in itself, it is neither honorable nor a disgrace-its character depends entirely on the behavior it gives rise to,” (Plato 183d). There are two different types of love that Pausanius refers to, which are the common and heavenly love. The common love is based on your love for someone for their body, sex or beauty making it physical love and desire for a person. Heavenly love is love for the mind such as your intelligence and strength, someone you can benefit from making one more wise. Any love that is encountered has a purpose whether is it the love between a mother and daughter or the love between a husband and wife. In the end, all love leads and is directed to virtue and improves the loved ones.

“I know a thing or two about solving them, unlike others I’ve met.” She coughed loudly after saying this.

He noticed that she flintched at the sound of his name, and watched how she quickly try to acted natural. She only ingruied him more. "You've heard of me," he didn't asked, he stated.

He gazed into her eyes and half-smiled when her eyes softened. “You can tell me anything, Kat. You know that,

present and one of those is the theme of love. Philia, Eros, and Agape are the three types of love present in the play and are what represent the theme of love. These three types of love, Philia, Eros, and Agape are expressed by the different characters in the play. The expression of the theme of love in the play is not just there by accident; William Shakespeare put it in this comedic and romantic play with a purpose.

The Art of Love, written by Ovid, was a set of three books, the first being a guide or rule book on how to “pick-up” women and the second book a rule book on how to keep the woman you have or “caught” satisfied and interested in you. The third and final book that he wrote was written for women on what to do to catch and keep a man, since he felt it was only fair for women to also be “armed” when it comes to picking- up men. The rules that Ovid describes in The Art of Love are similar to the rules that most people follow in the “cruising and catching” game because they are effective and produce results, although not all the rules described in Ovid’s book are still used, a great majority of them are and have not changed after so many years.

At times, I might be perceived to be inconsiderate to you, but please understand that I also will have my own uncertainties whereby I will question your actions. It will have nothing to do with me not truly loving you because in the end you will always be my girl.

For as long as I can remember, I have been writing lyrics, therefore, there was no surprise that I would be pouring all my love into a lyrical masterpiece when I started dating my first boyfriend. My first taste of that sweet summer love and already my head was floating amongst the clouds.

I stare at the blank canvas in front of me. After years of painting, it’s hard to find new ideas, something creative, romantic. My husband and I have been so distant lately. He believes that I have been unfaithful to him. Between my long days at work and the countless nights I spend in my art studio, he seems to believe that I  have enough time to have an affair. This is not the case; I wouldn’t dream of inflicting such pain to anyone, not to mention him.

Love is what made poetry famous. Everyone from Shakespeare with his sonnets to children with their red roses use poetry to express love. Love is the filling in poetry’s pie, the melody in its symphony, and the pregnancy scare in its soap-opera. In Dante's opinion, not only poetry, but everything is composed of love:
