Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.
From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
With all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.
Love…
…drives me to know only the person you truly are. Please do not change because you think you need to. It is the height and depth of the real you that I want in my heart; nothing else.
American teacher and writer Karen Casey, Ph.D.
Truly
loving
another
means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full acceptance,
even celebration
of another’s
personhood.
Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.
A composite made from several versions written by unknown writers
You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.
Love…
…runs when chased, but will catch you if you stop running from it. To grab for love creates a barrier against its arrival. To give up on love makes you no longer its possible destination. Letting go and keeping hope makes for fertile ground for love to grow in.
Quote by American writer Carl S. Avery
Love enables you
to put your
deepest feelings
and fears
in the palm
of your partner’s
hand, knowing
they will be
handled
with care.
Love…
…bestows the strength to feel safe in surrender. Becoming stronger comes from a heart receiving what completes it: love. Fear and worry do not depart. Instead such shadows become small in the radiant light of love.
Poem by a writer unknown/anonymous
LAUGH
so hard that even
SORROW
smiles at you;
FIGHT
so strong that even
FATE
accepts defeat;
LOVE
so true that even
HATRED
walks out of the way;
and LIVE
life so well that even
DEATH
loves to see you exist.
Love…
… will change lovers irrevocably. It bonds two people into a single entity with four arms, four legs, two minds, two hearts and one love. The knowing of where each ends and the other begins becomes happily lost.

I love you
for all
that you
are, all
that you
have been
and all
you are
yet
to be.
Love…
…is like snow falling with no control except from the speed it falls with. Drifting to come to rest on a specific spot unknown until it lands, love like a snowflake finds a home.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Things that fall:
petals
teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
tides
eyelids
time
shadows
leaves
the sun
and me,
for you.
Love…
…knows of imperfection, but cares little about it. What is good and virtuous is amplified. Flaws and deficiency are diminished. Through the eyes of love we lift another to their greatest height.
French philosopher & Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love alone
is capable
of uniting
living beings
in such a way
as to complete
and fulfill them,
for it alone
takes them
and joins them
by what is deepest
in themselves.
Love…
…fetched springtime to this heart a good distance before the calendar deemed the season start. Far ahead of spring narcissus sprouts, “je suis amoureux” has bloomed with fertile vigor.
Elizabeth Barrett To Robert Browning June 4, 1846
…I love you
with the fullness
of my nature.
Nothing of all
this unspeakable
goodness and tenderness
is lost on me…
I catch on my face
and hands every drop
of all this dew.
Love…
…oh, precious love; without hesitation or pause, I find myself surrounded by your grace. The rectitude of this love makes me swoon with its sweetness; ’tis a face forward fall from which I am unlikely to recover.
Cuban national hero and esteemed poet and writer José Martí
Love is…
born with
the pleasure
of looking
at each other;
it is fed
with the
necessity
of seeing
each other;
it is concluded
with the
impossibility
of separation.
