He stood there, with caring in his eyes. That Man, that mere minutes ago had tortured her to the brink of her endurance. He held out his strong arms to envelop her and keep her safe, to let her cry out the pain, so she might heal her soul.
"It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked." Khalil Gibran

My Ideal Person:
"And what greater merit shall there be than that which lies in the courage and the confidence, nay the charity, of receiving? You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
by Khalil Gibran
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
