Love…
…survives in spite of famine, tragedy and illness. When life is most challenging what is in the heart is spilled forth in the greatest measure. Love is neither remedy nor cure, but makes bitter medicine easier to swallow.
From the novel “Today Only” by American author D. Love
What I want
from you
is simple.
I want
today only.
If it’s laughter,
I want it.
If it’s pain,
I want it.
Whatever
today holds,
as long as
the day
holds you,
I want it.

Love …
…usually arrives unpredictably like a rain shower. No matter how much you try to anticipate its arrival, you don’t really know it has begun until love is upon you.
Written by an unknown/anonymous writer
Right now
someone
you haven’t
met is out
there
wondering
what it
would be
like to
meet someone
like you.

Love…
…is a suit of armor for the spirit and a strengthener of will and fortitude. Love amplifies and makes better all that is good and diminishes and makes easier to bear the bad.
American poet and greeting card producer Susan Polis Schutz
This life is yours.
Take the power to choose
what you want to do
and do it well.
Take the power to love
what you want in life
and love it honestly.
Take the power
to walk in the forest
and be a part of nature.
Take the power to control
your own life. No one else
can do it for you.
Take the power
to make your life happy.

Love…
…looks past most imperfection and focuses away from fault. The mind does the opposite. So, I don’t think about you much and choose instead to just feel you in my heart. There you are near perfect.
French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo
The greatest
happiness
of life
is the
conviction
that we
are loved,
loved for
ourselves,
or rather
loved
in spite
of ourselves.

Love…
…is crazy because I don’t even know when you became so important to me. It’s like watching a snowstorm. You see the flakes falling, but you don’t realize how they’re adding up. Then suddenly, your whole lawn is covered. All these little things have added up, and you’re my snowstorm.
From “The Greatest Love Story…” by British author Lucy Robinson
I want you
to be with
someone
who really,
really
loves you.
A wild love!
A crazy love!
I want yours
to be the
greatest
love story
of all time!

Love…
… makes a home without your presence seem ordinary and lacking. It is in your absence I realize the depth of my feelings and that you have become to my heart like oxygen is to my lungs.
From “In Your Eyes” by Tony DeLorger
Your eyes are the pathway to my soul,
and within you I see myself,
a reflection of my hopes, my dreams,
brought to me within the arms of love.
You presence to me is serenity,
the knowing that I am here,
that I exist and I am whole
within the silence of dreams.
Near is all I want to be,
for it is you who gives me hope…

Love…
…sends no advance warning nor does it knock on the door of the heart before entering. It is a surprise guest that moves in and takes up residence without notice. Love is predictable only in its unpredictable arrival.
From a poem by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda
I love you without
knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand
on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes
close as I fall asleep.

Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.
From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
With all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.

Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.
A composite made from several versions written by unknown writers
You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.

Love…
…runs when chased, but will catch you if you stop running from it. To grab for love creates a barrier against its arrival. To give up on love makes you no longer its possible destination. Letting go and keeping hope makes for fertile ground for love to grow in.
Quote by American writer Carl S. Avery
Love enables you
to put your
deepest feelings
and fears
in the palm
of your partner’s
hand, knowing
they will be
handled
with care.
