"Why'd I ever meet him? If I knew it was gonna hurt this much, I wish I'd never laid eyes on him. But I want to see him, I can't deny it. I want to see Inuyasha once more. It's clear now. I must be in love with him. Before I knew it, I'd grown to love him so much."
— Kagome, Inuyasha
Ahh... Now I get it. I'm glad when I'm useful to her, I have fun when I'm with her, I feel sad when we part ways, and happy when I think that I'll see her tomorrow. So this... is love?
— Unoki, on Toramaru, I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School
Every gesture, every move that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have this growing need to be beside her?
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have this growing need to be beside her?
— Phil Collins, "Strangers Like Me", from the Tarzan soundtrack
"Is that, my friend, is it not? It is love that has come - not all cock-a-hoop with fine feathers but sadly, with bleeding feet."

Psycho Krieg: THE PRETTY LADY!
Sane Krieg: What about her?
Psycho Krieg: WHY DOES SHE MAKE THE SKIN BLISTER? RAZORS RIP THROUGH MY CHEST WHEN SHE SHINES AT ME!
Sane Krieg: I think that's called love.
Psycho Krieg: INSATIABLE UN-HATRED!
Sane Krieg: Yeah, that's part of it. You feel like you can be completely vulnerable, like you could give 'em your heart and it'd be as safe in your hands as it was in your chest. The air tastes sweeter, colors are brighter-
Psycho Krieg: BLOOD POURS THICKER!
Sane Krieg: Yeah, it's-it's like that. Man I keep forgetting that this is your first time. You're in for one hell of a ride.

Oh shit! This 1000% cannot be true! Am I really falling for Gojou right now? What, No! No freaking way! How?! I like him, but do I "like" him? Do I love him?! No, shut up! There's no way I'm in love with a dude who's besties with Grandpa! That doesn't work for me... Oh, look at him just standing around being adorable; I love him! (Heavy breathing) I can't do this; it's too exhausting! I've got a life to live! I can't be obsessed with a cute, little seamstress boyyyy~!

"What fire is in mine ears? Can this be true?
Stand I condemned for pride and scorn so much?
Contempt, farewell, and maiden pride, adieu!
No glory lives behind the back of such.
And Benedick, love on; I will requite thee,
Taming my wild heart to thy loving hand.
If thou dost love, my kindness shall incite thee
To bind our loves up in a holy band.
For others say thou dost deserve, and I
Believe it better than reportingly."
