"We're always stealing. Often, we steal without realising. We'll take a heart, or a memory. We'll steal a moment; a second, an hour, a night. We'll steal a future, a dream. We'll steal all the smaller things. We'll steal for ourselves, or for others.
We steal.
We'll steal a person's being, and we'll take it as our own to possess.
Sometimes we can even steal a person's soul. Even just a little bit. And we'll claim that soul as ours. We'll steal it. And so many don't even realise they're doing it.
We steal.
And I stole from you, just as you stole from me.
For love is that moment when it no longer becomes theft. I am no longer just taking what hasn't consciously been given. I am not just stealing those precious seconds - I am saving them, cherishing them. I am not just taking those memories with me, I am making more with you. I am not just stealing your heart; your soul, as I am giving you mine in return. To love is to trade."
