Some people, right away, do know each other deeply. Love gives them insight into each other. Love makes them pledge themselves to each other. Love makes them inventive. Yes, it also makes them ridiculous. But that's just another of love's glories. It makes being ridiculous permissible.

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion

Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.
WASHINGTON IRVING
attributed, Golden Gleams of Thought: From the Words of Leading Orators
'Know that Love is a careless child,
And forgets promises past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list,
And in faith never fast.
'His desire is a dureless content,
And a trustless joy;
He is won with a world of despair,
And is lost with a toy.

A slim and shimmering mesh;
It is two souls wrenched into one,
Two bodies made one flesh.

Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.

It is sometimes fatal, but more frequently to the physician than to the patient.
