Campfire Quote by Molleen Matsumura

“Love is like a campfire: It may be sparked quickly, and at first the kindling throws out a lot of heat, but it burns out quickly. For long lasting, steady warmth with delightful bursts of intense heat from time to time, you must carefully tend the fire.” quote by Molleen Matsumura
