This one comes from a movie I love (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind):
How happy is the blameless Vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot;
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd

Not sure who say this, but my ex-husand told me this when we were dating and it just stuck with me...
Love starts with a smile,
Grows with a kiss,
And Ends with a tear...
how true it was for us...
