I remember…
…always kissing you just before I left for work, when I got home, before we went to sleep and at many, many other times. Grateful for what was I still wish for more.
From “To Anthea” by Robert Herrick
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let’s kiss afresh, as when we first begun.

The Street is One Way…
I remember…
…watching you lay in the sun by the side of the pool with the radio playing. I thought you looked wonderful oiled up with your long hair blowing to one side in the breeze.
From “Fearful Symmetry: A Study of William Blake” by Northrop Frye
“When You Fall In Love…”
I guess nobody ever does mean to fall in love.
But it happens,
and love brands itself on your brain.
It’s like a new street
appearing overnight in the city
you’ve lived in your whole life.
The street is one way.
You can’t turn around and get off it
And it curves up ahead
so that you can only see far enough to
know that you are veering into the unknown.
My Heart Will Be Your Home
I remember…
…your long thin fingers and how good you were at taking care of your hands. With soft skin and nails well manicured each hand fit into one of mine like it was made to be there.
Writer Unknown
From this day forward,
You shall not walk alone.
My heart will be your shelter,
And my arms will be your home
Breakfast in Bed
I remember…
…when we were first together we’d often sleep in on Sunday morning, make love and then have breakfast in bed.
From “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom
Life
has
to
end.
Love
does
not.
Yesterday Remains
I remember…
…I always slept on the left side of the bed and you liked to sleep on the right. Another little example of how well we “fit” together.
By an author unknown
As long
As we have memories
Yesterday
Remains.
As long
As we have hope
Tomorrow
Awaits.
Thank You for Your Love
I remember…
…watching you walk down our long hallway in your white bathrobe when you flashed me with your cute butt!
A thought on love by Carl S. Avery
Love enables you to put your deepest feelings
and fears in the palm of you partner’s hand,
knowing they will be handled with care.
Sweet Love
I remember…
…when I had knee surgery and the great care you took of me. Whenever I was sick you were good to me.
From Anita Baker’s song “Sweet Love”
With all my heart I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see
My arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, ’cause I believe
Oh, your heart has called me closer to you
I will be all that you need
Just trust in what we’re feeling
Never leave ’cause baby, I believe
Love and Go On
I remember…
…the texture of your skin and how soft it was. I loved to touch your face, your hands and rub your back.
British Poet and Painter David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she’d want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
That Dragon Which Slays Love
I remember…
…wishing you would not get so jealous. There was never a reason except those you imagined. You were the one I loved then and still do today even though you threw me away.
From “On Life and Sex” by Havelock Ellis, 1937
Jealousy,
That dragon
Which slays love
Under the pretense
Of keeping it alive.
Two Halves of a Single Whole
I remember…
…the feeling when we held each other while standing and how sweetly well practiced we were together, fitting like two halves of a single whole.
From a Writer Unknown
I want you to hold me in your arms….
Make me feel safe from harm
My hands over your shoulders,
Your hands on my waist
Whisper in my ear tell me I am gonna be safe
Make me forget all of my stress
While my head is buried in your chest.
