With time I've learnt that the most beautiful and valuable gift you may give to someone you love is respect.
Respect them enough not to fool or betray them.
Respect them enough to treat them the way they deserve to be treated,

And stay by their side even when they are on their lowest and worst.
So when others crave to be loved passionately, overwhelmed with attention and compliments; I crave to be RESPECTED... ~ Samiha Totanji

Whenever that happened, Joey clung to Troy's hand, willing him to know that Riker meant nothing.
Well, maybe not nothing. He'd given Joey a valuable gift; he'd taught him what love wasn't. During their showdown in the men's room, it had dawned on Joey what love was. Love took long walks, spent time together talking about nothing. It gave smiles, and hugs, and trips to the beach when it really didn't want to go, because it wanted to share a special place with someone else.

It called in favors and put a town on the map to make life better for one person who lived there.
Love was Troy. ~ Eden Winters
