love.
" But if you love
and must needs have  d e s i r e s
Let these be your desires
To  m e l t 
and be like a running brook
that sings its melody to the night
To know
the  p a i n 
of too much tenderness
To be wounded
by your own understanding of  l o v e
And to bleed
 w i l l i n g l y  and joyfully.” 
- Kahlil Gibran, Le Prophète
