Love that giveth in full store, receives as much and more.
Dinah Mulock Craik

Before and after you know love are you the same person? Before love you were a lamp that shed no light but when you are in love you become a lamp that is burning and shedding light. While in love you find the courage to risk, to give of yourself and to open your soul. You can find new behaviors for old ways and venture into places in your mind and heart you never explored before. Actually love reveals your "Self" to you and allows you to discover the burning lamp in another. Love seems to have perfect vision and it makes it possible for you to see as you have never seen before. You may ask yourself "Can I be the same person after love?" The answer should be yes and you can move on to new love and be the better for it. Who knows - with new love you may receive as much and more!
