Love…
…spoken as a child was “I like you”; as teenager as “love ya”; in the 20’s with “I love you”; when 30-something “I love you with all I am”; middle-aged 40’s as “I will always love you” and now in my 50’s I say “I love you even though you’re no longer here”.
German psychologist and philosopher, Erich Fromm
Immature
love
says
“I love you
because
I need you.”

Love…
…stirs deeply when we look at each other. Making eye contact with you is one the single most uplifting experiences I have ever known. In those moments we connect to be one living and breathing being; apart, no longer complete.
From “Deliriium” by American author Lauren Oliver
As soon as I look up,
his eyes click onto my face.
The breath whooshes
out of my body and
everything freezes
for a second, as though
I’m looking at him
through my camera lens,
zoomed in all the way,
the world pausing
for that tiny span of time
between the opening
and closing of the shutter.

Love…
…appears quickly, but grows slowly. Only when tested by time, circumstance and destiny can it reach its potential. Like an acorn quick to sprout, love takes years and years to grow strong and lasting. Look how tall ours has become!
American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)
True love
is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another
refuse to drink.
It happens
only when
the souls
of two join
together
to form
one.

Love…
…keeps you close in mind and heart. Although I can no longer reach out and touch you, I feel you close by. As long as I live your life will continue. Long ago I ceased to be able to have any boundary between who I was and am now because of you.
From “Before You Go…” book series by Canadian writer Vensa Bailey
…you
are my
rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never
will I
lose
sight
of you.

Love…
…oh, my love of long ago, please don’t select your words cautiously or second guess sharing your feelings. You are there. I am here. That’s where life placed us. Our real and true selves are the only gifts we have to give one other.
From a poem titled “Daydream” by Cassie McNair
Whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.
I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.
Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.

Love…
…can endure. Though years and decades; misery and happiness; accomplishment and failure; joy and heartbreak; in life, and I suspect after death, I have loved you best, most and above all. You will always be “the one”.
Love Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
If
I could
reach up
and hold
a star for
every time
you’ve made
me smile,
the entire
evening sky
would be
in the palm
of my hand.

Love…
…unrequited is still love. Some of the greatest romances told were known only to one person with unreciprocated love carried as a secret song in a single heart.
From Don Juan by Anglo-Scottish poet Lord Byron
Then
there were sighs,
the deeper for suppression,
And
stolen glances,
sweeter for the theft,
And
burning blushes,
tho’ for no transgression,
Tremblings when met,
and restlessness when left.

Love…
…forms a sort of single-mindedness within its bearer. All though the days waking hours and dreams in the night, one’s beloved becomes the single most thought about, most wished and most dearly held contemplation.
Canadian poet, novelist and environmental activist Margaret Atwood
I would
like to be
the air
that inhabits
you for a
moment
only.
I would
like to be
that unnoticed
and that
necessary.

Love…
…cares nothing about our plans, where we think we’re headed or what choices we have made. Love seeks only its mirrored self reflected back from another heart and will defy all logic, rational thought and common sense to obtain it.
Hungarian journalist writer and poet János Arany
In
dreams
and
in
love
there
are
no
impossibilities.

Love…
…like gravity, pulls me toward you. I am helpless to withstand its force. What draws me in your direction is centered in my heart and glows brightly like a newly lighted sun.
Quote from unknown writer, Philippos Aristotelous
When you feel cold
and warm at the same time,
when you read over the same line
for the tenth time,
when your heart and thoughts
somehow appear to rhyme,
and when a simple name
conquers your whole mind,
then you are
in deep trouble my friend…
you are in what they call, “love”.
