“Love is a terrible thing
it comes from nothing
It is heavy and light
It is serious and foolish
it is hot and cold
It is sick and healthy
It is a madness.”
….
5. Love is a terrible thing
it comes from nothing
It is heavy and light
It is serious and foolish
it is hot and cold
It is sick and healthy
It is a madness
It is a gentle wind that
never lets you down.
Mary Timologou
6. Love is weakness
Love is hot and cold
The sun and the clouds
Good and Bad
Love is love
Savina Mouzaki
7. Love is madness
but sweet.
Love takes you up to the sky
and brings you back to Earth;
to the North, to the South,
to sun, to the Moon.
Love is everything.
Petros Leonte
8. Love is the best
yet the worst
thing in one's life.
Love is like a prison
where no one can escape.
Love is the reason that
people are alive.
Love is everything.
George Zarifis
9. Love always protects
hopes and trusts
but love also lies;
It is supposed to make us
stronger and happier
but, in the end,
it leaves us more heartbroken
than ever before.
Love can sometimes fail.
Anna Bentzia
10. Love is all you need.
Love is in the air
and you should be happy
just because of love.
Athena Stratigou
11. Love is heavy and light
Hot and cold
Sick and healthy
Love is horrible.
It is everything and nothing;
the beggining and the end,
the first and the last thing in life.
It is clever and silly
beautiful and ugly
Love is the best thing in life.
Nickolas Sioutas
12. Love is a madness
You can’t stop the feelings you
have for someone;
you can’t lie to yourself either.
Your heart knows the truth
All too well
Elina Kosmadopoulou
13. Love is the most beautiful feeling,
love joins the people together.
Love makes you happy;
with love you can share
beautiful moments with others.
Spiros Stratigos
14. Love is a light
in the horizon.
Love is a path.
Love is someone
to rely on.
Love is love.
George Triantafyllou
15. LOVE is madness,
LOVE is hot and cold.
IT feels like silk.
LOVE tastes like honey.
LOVE!
Apostolis Stratos
16. Love can change your life.
People fall in love,
people learn from loving
and that throws
lots of sunshine.
Mariniki Tsimbisi
17. Love is friendship that has caught fire.
It is understanding,
mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.
It is loyalty
through good and bad times.
It settles for less than perfection
and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Generally, love is life.
And if you miss love,
you miss life.
18. Love is the East and the West,
the North and the South.
It’s a false truth.
It is fair and unjust,
logic and absurd.
Love is a magical combination
of thousands of feelings.
Love is a partnership
of two unique people
who bring out the very best in each other.
Katerina Ximareioti
19. And, I will wait until my beloved comes,
the right person with soft hands
With sparkling eyes and a bright smile
to tell me that I’m the missing part of his life,
Although love is considered sweet,
it can be a terrible thing.
Love is the madness of the world,
which comes from nothing serious at all;
Love is heavy and light,
for people who are serious and foolish at the same time;
for people with sick or healthy minds.
Xristina Chaundry
20. Love is heavy and light
love is cold and hot
All you need
Is to discover it.
Themistoklis Sarikopoulos
21. Love is madness.
Love can guide you to darkness.
Love doesn’t exist.
People create it.
And they only believe
that one day will meet the person
to live with.
BUT NO!
People have
a different heart.
Gregory Kevorkian
22. Love is a curse and it’s a blessing
It is painful but it IS worth its pain
For when everything else
Is about to go away
Love is meant to stay
Love is much stronger than hate
So, we all had better have faith
Because one day we’ll understand
How beautiful it is to love.
So, don’t give up when you face a storm
Because love is not that terrible after all!
By Stelios Papelis and Chris Katsoulis
23. Love is a terrible thing
It comes from nothing.
I love and I hate
You cannot run away from fate.
Love is heavy and light
It’s like the pale moon at night.
Love is healthy and sick
It is life at its peak.
Love is a madness
It is a light in the darkness
It is hot and cold
Love’s flame can never get old.
Love is foolish and serious
Like our instincts it’s mysterious.
Chris Moraitis
24. Love is not an item.
It’s not something you buy.
Love is the feeling you get
when you know for sure that he/she is the one.
You know when you are in love.
You can feel it.
Love is to be happy.
Love is to feel safe,
to feel that joyful pain in your bones.
Love is to feel complete.
Ioli Steker
25. Love is my best friend
Yet, my worst enemy.
It’s heaven and hell at the same time,
making you happy
but also miserable,
rich or poor;
saving as well as destroying you.
You can't live with it
neither without it.
Nikolas Faraklas
26. Love is a thing
that can be shaped
by how it is been looked upon.
If it finds response,
it is a good thing.
If it does not,
it’s terrible.
Alexandros Sakellaridis
27. Love is something
you can’t touch,
you can’t taste,
but you know that there it is!
Sometimes,
it can’t be a horrible thing
while other times
it’s the best thing
that can happen to you!
