Love…
…to be happiest should have qualities that allow lovers to be foolish and silly like small children playing joyfully together without inhibition. The openness to naturally “be” without any worry about how each is perceiving the other: that’s true love.
Roman lyric poet Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus)
Mix
a little
foolishness
with your
serious plans.
It is lovely
to be silly
at the
right
moment.

Love…
…can make ordinary things seem extraordinary: a ride in the first cool air near fall; a meal with conversation; browsing at a bookstore and buying nothing. The common transforms into delight when filtered through a loving heart.
British novelist and scriptwriter Elinor Glyn
Romance
is the
glamour
which turns
the dust
of everyday
life into
a golden
haze.

Love…
…puts a shine on the dull and colors into the monotone. It is an invisible morsel tasted; a silent note heard; a duet sung in harmony by the heart and soul together.
From “The Zygote Chronicles” by Suzanne Finnamore.
I’ve felt
basically lucky
ever since,
almost every day
of my life.
That’s something
else love
should make
you feel.
It should
make you
feel fortunate.

Love…
…is different in middle age. It has its own unique intensity that is far less consumed with desire and far more filled with gentle love like preteen children “like” each other. Falling in ‘love’ is easy. Falling in ‘like’ takes a lot more time.
Popular quote by an original author unknown
It’s so easy
to fall
in love
but hard
to find
someone
who will
catch you.

I love…
…anticipating spending time with you. We usually have a good time together and appreciate each other’s company. I am grateful to have you to do things with. Being alone gets boring!
From Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker known as Marilyn Monroe
It’s often just enough
to be with someone.
I don’t need
to touch them.
Not even talk.
A feeling passes
between you both.
You’re not alone.

…that even though you like to be busy, with me you can sit still, relax, and be lazy. We’re good together at doing nothing in particular and doing it well.
From the song “Love Like Crazy” by Lee Brice
Be a best friend.
Tell the truth.
And overuse I love you.
Go to work.
Do your best.
Don’t out smart
your common sense.
Never let your
prayin’ knees get lazy.
And love like crazy.

I love…
…that you have reached a point in your life where you want to discover the lost child within. Underneath the layers and layers of adult life lies a great treasure: a little girl who just wants to play.
Widely distributed poem by an author unknown
Laugh your heart out.
Dance in the rain.
Cherish the moment.
Ignore the pain.
Live, laugh, love,
Forgive and forget
Life’s too short to be
Living with regrets.

I love…
…that recently we began closing emails with “love and kisses”; that became “dove and wishes”; then “bugs and fishes” and so on until we had used up just about every possible rhyming word. I smile each time I think about it.
“Close to the Heart” by American poet Helen Lowrie Marshall
Close to the heart is a secret place
Where dreams are stored away,
And study candles of faith are kept
Against a darker day.
And there, too, are the memories;
The laughter share, the tears,
The little things that mean so much,
Seen through the mist of years.
Out dearest wishes, deepest loves,
The burdens that we bear;
The essence of our being lies
In what we harbor there.
To each his own; a hideaway
That has not counterpart;
The treasure-house of the soul that lies
Somewhere close to the heart.

I love…
…how we amuse each other with cute and funny things we write in emails and notes we send each other. It puts real meaning into the song lyric “you make lovin’ fun”.
French Writer Nicolas Chamfort
The
most
wasted
day
is
that
in
which
we
have
not
laughed.

I love…
…sitting in a restaurant with you eating, talking, laughing and wasting time together. We never lack for something to talk about and time passes effortlessly. There is a warm comfort in being with you; a richly joyful feeling.
From ” I Love Being Loved By You” – Anonymous
My life overflows with happiness
As my favorite dreams come true.
My days and nights are magical
Because of everything you do.
You stand by me as troubles occur
And listen to my worries and fears.
You share my burdens and my joys
With faith, compassion and tears.
