Love…
…makes the commonplace, uncommon. A simple activity like holding hands walking through a parking lot can become a memorable adventure.
New York young adult fiction author Rachel Cohn
It’s BS
to think of friendship
and romance
as being different.
They’re not.
They’re
just variations
of the same love.
Variations
of the same desire
to be close.
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…
…without feeling anxious or afraid of its outcome is new for me. Always before I expected loving to take me somewhere else and transform my life. Imagine my surprise at staying in the same place with the same life and being happily in love with you.
From “Love” by modern-day poet Gianella Ramirez
Love
is the laughter
that you and I share…
Love
is the small things
that show how we care…
Love
is the language
that our hearts express…
Love
is the feeling
of true happiness…
Love…
…is easy, yet challenging. The ease is falling in love when discovering someone truly special and deserving of one’s affection. The challenge is trying to love with a fresh and brave heart even thought it has been broken many times before.
Quote from Bohemian-Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke
For one human being
to love another
is perhaps
the most difficult
of our tasks;
the ultimate,
the last test and proof;
the work for which
all other work
is but preparation.
Love…
… honest and true makes one far more than he or she is without it. It expands dreams, heightens desire, strengthens endurance and enriches possibility. Love is a spark in the heart that empowers the soul.
British philosopher and Nobel prize winner Bertrand Russell
If love
is to bring
all the good
of which
it is capable,
it must be
free,
generous,
unrestrained
and wholehearted.
I love…
…that you are a take-charge type of person who does not shrink away from responsibility, even when bearing it is difficult. Your family is lucky to have you. So am I!
An old proverb said to have Greek origins
A
heart
that
loves
is
always
young.
Love…
…builds anticipation to get home and see you again. When a week has separated us, the first moment together again is sweet and magical.
From a song by “Owl City” (Adam Young)
… I look
at my hands
and feel sad.
Because
the spaces
between
my fingers
are right where
yours
fit perfectly.”
Love…
… I have known from you helped me feel safe enough for my hesitant heart to awaken. I learned my pulse still could race and my soul could still shake with desire.
From “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare
Doubt thou
the stars are fire;
Doubt that
the sun doth move;
Doubt truth
to be a liar;
But never doubt
I love.
Love…
…makes me want to be a better person for you; not different from I truly am but the best rendition of the real me. Love’s inspiration brings an intention to be the most authentic version of myself that I am capable.
Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paul Choelho
When we love,
we always strive
to become
better than we are.
When we strive
to become better
than we are,
everything around us
becomes better too.
Love…
…makes it plain that even though we are hundreds of miles apart, our hearts are in the same place: mine with you and yours with me.
Saying from an unknown source
Distance…
It’s just
a test
of how
far love
can travel.
