Winston Churchill once received an exasperated admonition from lady Astor at a cocktail party, "Winston! If you were my husband I'd poison your tea."
In response he said "Madam, if you were my wife I'd drink it."

day after day love turns gray like the skin on a dying man
night after night we pretend it's alright
but I have grown older you have grown colder
and nothing is very much fun ...........any more

Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The conciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
