Like Oxygen

Love…
… makes a home without your presence seem ordinary and lacking. It is in your absence I realize the depth of my feelings and that you have become to my heart like oxygen is to my lungs.

From “In Your Eyes” by Tony DeLorger
kissing,lovers,love,couple,photography,portrait-94a7b550041643552fb032324be0de83_hYour eyes are the pathway to my soul,
and within you I see myself,
a reflection of my hopes, my dreams,
brought to me within the arms of love.
You presence to me is serenity,
the knowing that I am here,
that I exist and I am whole
within the silence of dreams.
Near is all I want to be,
for it is you who gives me hope…

Known Fact and Part Enigma

Love…
…is part known fact and part enigma; both explainable and inexplicable at the same time. You know for certain when it’s present yet can offer no concrete proof what so ever to anyone else of what you feel.

French-speaking Swiss author Germaine de Staël
What_is_LOVE-Valentine_Day-507_bigLove
is the
emblem
of
eternity;
it confounds
all notion
of time;
effaces
all
memory
of a
beginning;
all fear
of an end.

Deep Healthy Roots

Love…
…is made strong when it is allowed to grow slowly. Like a tree with deep healthy roots, with unhurried development the emotion is made strong and able to hold up under adversity. Love that sprouts quickly is usually just a weed that lives only for single season.

19th century English poet Robert Browning

made
and
meant
to look
for you
and wait
for you
and
become
yours
forever.

A Beautiful Reminder

Love…
…is when you look into someone’s eyes and see everything you need reflected back to you. There is no mistaking it for something else. You’ll know beyond doubt when true love is present.

A Sureness Beyond Explanation

Love…
…brings one of the greatest certainties a person will ever know. We are rarely convinced of anything in the same way as when true love arrives. Without logic or thought, true love brings a sureness beyond explanation.

that
I want
to be
with
you,
now
and
forever.

Are Made More So

Love…
…is gentle wind through my hair, a sight of a moonlit night, an inhaled scent of roses, the sound of pure joy and a sweet taste of delight: ALL at once. Everything I feel, see, smell, hear and taste are made more so by my love for you.

From “The Host” by American author Stephenie Meyer
25-Small-Ways-to-Love-BigIt’s not the face,
but the expressions on it.
It’s not the voice,
but what you say.
It’s not how you look
in that body,
but the thing
you do with it.
You are beautiful.

Set To Music

Love…
…grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.(Elbert Hubbard)

Unpredictable Arrival

Love…
…sends no advance warning nor does it knock on the door of the heart before entering. It is a surprise guest that moves in and takes up residence without notice. Love is predictable only in its unpredictable arrival.

From a poem by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda
tumblr_m5ku7c0NpF1qm2v88o1_500I love you without
knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand
on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes
close as I fall asleep.

Above All Things

Love…
…narrows space and lessens burdens. It brightens day and enraptures night. Love knows no boundary, specific language or government. It is above all things created by humankind.

True and Deepest Love

Love…
…makes me unafraid with you. I’m at peace when I drift off to sleep with you next to me knowing that you’d protect me with all that you are, even to death if it was required. I would do the same for you without a second thought.

American drama critic and editor George Jean Nathan
9B6580E32ACFE821162F51A3C7C61A man reserves his true
and deepest love
not for the species
of woman
whose company
he finds himself
electrified and
enkindled,
but for that one
in whose company
he may feel
tenderly drowsy.
