Between the Shores of Your Souls

I love…
…how you are considerate of small things. When at my place you use a different spoon to stir your coffee to avoid the taste of your hazelnut creamer getting in my cup. 
 
From “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
Let there be space
in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens
dance between you.
Love one another,
but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

What We’ve Been Missing

I love…
…when we hug and you are so close against me I can feel your heart beating against my chest.
 
Writer Unknown
It’s true
that we don’t know
what we’ve got
until
we lose it,
but it’s also true
that we don’t know
what we’ve been missing
until
it arrives.

The Endless Melody

I love…
…the way you gently touch me.  My favorite is when you softly and slowly stroke my back sometimes we are standing close and talking. 

“Love’s Touch” by Peaches
Love’s touch is a warm feeling in your heart,
The endless melody playing in your mind.
It’s the skip in your heartbeat
When you’re with your true love.
I feel love’s touch when I’m with you.
I hear the endless melody
When I’m in your warm embrace.
My heart skips a beat
When I feel your tender lips against mine.
I feel love’s touch whenever I’m thinking of you.
You are, to me, love’s touch.

It Matters Not

I love…
…how kind you are to people, even strangers.  Last night watching you be your normal caring self to ones you had just met was a joy.
 
Former ‘Beatle”, philsopher and lover of peace, John Lennon
It matters not
Who you love
Where you love
Why you love
When you love
Or how you love
It matters only that you love.

Wasted Time

I love…
…how we spent Valentine’s day evening together on the couch in front of the fireplace watching a 25 year-old love story movie called “Made In Heaven”.

English Philosopher Bertrand Russell

You’re Given Me a Reason

I love…
…that I have you to give my heart to on this Saint Valentine’s Day.  I adore you.  I admire you.  I desire you.  I need you. I cherish you. I love you!

From “What you’ve Given Me” by Jessie B. Rittenhouse
You’ve given me a reason
For smiling once again,
You’ve filled my life
With peaceful dreams
And you’ve become my closest friend.
You’ve shared your heartfelt secrets
And your trust you’ve given me,
You showed me
How to feel again
To laugh,
And love,
And see.

People Will Never Forget

I love…
…your understanding that I need room sometimes to deal with my issues on my own.  Giving me that space is an act of great caring.  Thank you!

Thought by Maya Angelou
I’ve learned
That people will forget
What you said,
People will forget
What you did,
But people will never forget
How you made them feel.

The Joy in Finding You

I love…
…how you remind me at every opportunity that you love me.  Showing and telling the depth of your feelings causes my insecurities to scurry away. 
 
“Power of Love” by Alison Chambers Casey
We seek to find a miracle,
A place not of our own;
And find it in the power of love,
Where we never walk alone.
A quiet place of restful dreams,
This miracle come true;
My heart knows peace
And now it sings,
Of the joy in finding you.

Right There By Your Side

I love…
…when I am away how I miss you.  It is a kind of hunger that grows until sated by your presence when I see you again
 
Written By an Unknown Author
Missing someone
Isn’t about how long
It has been since
You’ve seen them
Or the amount of time
Since you’ve talked.
It’s about that very moment
When you find yourself
Doing something
And wishing
They were right there
By your side.

As the Wind Blows

I love…
…when I travel that you leave emails for me and send texts to let me know I am in your thoughts.
 
Written by François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld
Absence
Diminishes
Small loves
And increases
Great ones,
As the wind
Blows out the candle
And blows up the bonfire.
