Love…
…for you makes my world better. Colors are brighter. People are nicer (me too!). My hope is stronger. My beliefs are more certain. Rain or shine, any type of weather is beautiful. Seeing with eyes of love improves everything.

Anyone can
make you
smile,
many people
can make
you cry,
but it takes
someone
really special
to make you
smile
with tears
in your eyes.
Love…
…brings strength to those it touches. Dreams light up in three dimensions. Hopes become likely to come true. Wishes materialize into tangible forms. Love is a great catalyst of increased happiness.
American amateur poet Christopher Poindexter
It was rather beautiful:
the way he put her
insecurities to sleep.
The way he dove into
her eyes and starved
all the fears
and tasted all the
dreams she kept
coiled beneath
her bones.
Love…
…makes no promises except it will exist as long as you believe in it. It is bound by no other force except that inside you. For love to stay or leave; to live or die; to grow or whither, is a personal choice no matter what the circumstances.

Love
is for living,
in sunshine and rain.
Grace is love’s gift,
given new each day.
Love is forgiving,
second chances abound.
In life’s chaos love remains.
Love lives here.
Love…
…has been a healing salve for us. After all that’s happened, the depth of our respect and affection for each other is abundantly clear. I love you Sweetheart and being loved by you is the best thing that ever happened to me.
American singer, songwriter, and actress Kelly Clarkson
My
experiences
remind me
that it’s
those
black
clouds
that make
the
blue
skies
even more
beautiful.
Love…
…has added the speed of light to my life. All the good we share builds happiness into fast joys. Grief and sadness are fleeting. Life is zipping by, but oh what a glorious ride it is.
From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E.A. Bucchianeri
The most
beautiful
moments
always seemed
to accelerate
and slip beyond
one’s grasp
just when
you want
to hold
onto them
for as long
as possible.
Love…
…spoken as a child was “I like you”; as teenager as “love ya”; in the 20’s with “I love you”; when 30-something “I love you with all I am”; middle-aged 40’s as “I will always love you” and now in my 50’s I say “I love you even though you’re no longer here”.
German psychologist and philosopher, Erich Fromm
Immature
love
says
“I love you
because
I need you.”
Mature
love
says
“I need you
because
I love you.
Love…
…remains deep and true. For you I would give up my future and even my life without hesitation. Through your illness I will stand by you, be with you and hold you. Nothing can take me away from you… NOTHING.
From “Dear John” by American novelist Nicholas Sparks.
I finally
understood
what true
love meant.
…love meant that
you care for
another person’s
happiness more
than your own,
no matter how
painful
the choices
you face
might be.
Love…
…can sneak up slowly and be a surprise. We’ve known each other a long time. We’ve become close friends. Being together is so comfortable and easy. I don’t want to mess that up, but am falling in love with you. Should I tell you?
From “Jane Eyre” by English poet and novelist Charlotte Bronte
I had not intended
to love him;
the reader knows
I had wrought hard
to extirpate from my soul
the germs of love
there detected; and now,
at the first renewed
view of him,
they spontaneously
revived,
great and strong!
He made me
love him
without looking
at me.
Love…
…stirs deeply when we look at each other. Making eye contact with you is one the single most uplifting experiences I have ever known. In those moments we connect to be one living and breathing being; apart, no longer complete.
From “Deliriium” by American author Lauren Oliver
As soon as I look up,
his eyes click onto my face.
The breath whooshes
out of my body and
everything freezes
for a second, as though
I’m looking at him
through my camera lens,
zoomed in all the way,
the world pausing
for that tiny span of time
between the opening
and closing of the shutter.
Love…
…has remade me. I am changed. See my smile? It was never this large before. See my eyes? The sparkle wasn’t there previously. I stand straighter and walk with more confidence. I am not a different person, but a far better version.
Composer Ludwig van Beethoven to his Immortal Beloved
Oh,
continue
to love me,
never
misjudge
the most
faithful
heart
of your
beloved.
ever
thine,
ever
mine,
ever
ours.
