Love’s strength lies in its contradictions,
while contradictions strengthen love.
Love lasts because it changes,
while changes last because of love.

*Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry (a literary equivalent of a collage) by making changes in spacing and lines, or by adding or deleting text, thus imparting new meaning.
