Something more...

"To love someone that much that every hurt was instinctively shared... to be loved that much, so much that no hurt went uncomforted... " Pg 385, The Ruins of Ambrai.

True love is love that has survived not only the sands of time, but the trials of humanity and distance. Love is patience tenfold, and to wait as time goes by, defines a love to not only be stronger, but one to cherish for all of time.
