Song 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' by Simply Red:

All the things that we've been through,
You should understand me like I understand you.
...
If you don't know me by now,
You will never ever ever know me.

"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you."

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

- George Washington Carver

"All, everything that I understand, I only understand because I love."
