触碰心灵的话 心灵之爱

心灵之爱  

有些人的爱情始于外表相悦，而有些人的爱情则始于心灵相悦。建立在外表基础上的爱情最终经不住风吹雨打，像自然之花一样终会凋谢；而建立在心灵基础上的爱情则可以经得住任何考验，永远吐露芬芳，越是在障碍重重的时候，其芳香越是沁人心脾。真正的爱情在于后者。
John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew
but whose face he didn’t
the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago

and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman smiled
"I don’t know what this is about
