“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. (Song of Solomon 8:7)”

“Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it. Song of Solomon 8: 7.”

“Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it.”

“Many waters cannot quench the thirst for love,nor can the floods drown it.”

“But grief still has to be worked through. It is like walking through water. Sometimes there are little waves lapping about my feet. Sometimes there is an enormous breaker that knocks me down. Sometimes there is a sudden and fierce squall. But I know that many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.”

“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. What then kills love? Only this: Neglect. Not to see you when you stand before me. Not to think of you in the little things. Not to make the road wide for you, the table spread for you. To choose you out of habit not desire, to pass the flower seller without a thought. To leave the dishes unwashed, the bed unmade, to ignore you in the mornings, make use of you at night. To crave another while pecking your cheek. To say your name without hearing it, to assume it is mine to call.”
