The Welcoming of Your Beloved

Love…
…is an opening of the heart; a welcoming of your beloved. Authentic loving is risky and the most potentially rewarding chance a person can take. You must be willing to get your heart-broken six times theN get up and try a seventh and more…

From a post found at http://yourconfessions.tumblr.com/
Its-My-Love-Story_20013EDIT2You fixed me.
A decade of
being broken,
without hope,
and you fixed me.
You said I was
amazing and beautiful.
More importantly,
you told me
that nothing
would ever stop you
from loving me.
You have no idea
how much
you mean to me.
I love you, so much
that I don’t even know
how to put it to words.

Endless Possibilities

Love…

…is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way.

From “Eat, Pray, Love…” by Elizabeth Gilbert

I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up crying
all night long,
I will stay with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you.

The Common State

Love…
…takes two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned. Unrequited love is the common state that in comparison makes mutual and true love so valuable.

American story-teller and author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
270b49ceditLove seems
the swiftest,
but it is
the slowest
of all growths.
No man or
woman really
knows what
perfect love is
until they have
been married
a quarter
of a century.

Strong and Lasting

Love…
…appears quickly, but grows slowly. Only when tested by time, circumstance and destiny can it reach its potential. Like an acorn quick to sprout, love takes years and years to grow strong and lasting.

American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)
6243363885_editTrue love
is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another
refuse to drink.
It happens only
when the souls
of two join
together
to form one.

Filled With Feelings

Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.

From the novel “Impulse” by American writer and poet Ellen Hopkins

Two Halves

Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…

Quote by an obscure writer named Alexis Delp

makes
the
wildest
spirit
tame,
and
the
tamest
spirit
wild.

My Rainbow

Love…
…keeps you close in mind and heart. Although I can no longer reach out and touch you, I feel you close by. As long as I live your life will continue. Long ago I ceased to be able to have any boundary between who I was and am now because of you.

From “Before You Go…” book series by Canadian writer Vensa Bailey
misty rainbow…you
are my
rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never
will I
lose
sight
of you.

My Heart Became Tuned

Love…
… teaches difficult lessons. Had love only found me once before, I would not have been adequately taught how to love you to the best of my ability. It was in loving and losing, in trial and failure that my heart became tuned to love you at its best.

From the book “Hai Darling” by Badrul Hisham Shari

Life After Life

Love…
…for you felt familiar from moment I began to fall for you. It didn’t feel like a new spark, but rather a dormant one I had been carrying my whole life. A sleeping ember was only waiting for me to meet you so it could be awakened to set fire in my heart.

First non-European to win Literature Nobel Prize Rabindranath Tagore
690x380-Romance-KissingI seem to have
loved you in
numberless
forms,

times,
in life after
life, in age
after age
forever.

Indelibly Stamped

Love…
…was “sugar” to my Grandmother when she was kissed on the cheek. Her smile when one of us kids “gave her some sugar” is indelibly stamped upon my heart. I feel like she must have when you kiss me on my forehead.

From the novel “I Say Who, What and Where!” by Merce Cardus
5-benefits-of-kissingcNo matter
where we
come from,
a little
sugar
is what
everybody
demands in life,
what everybody
needs in life.
It’s perhaps the
main ingredient
that keeps
us alive.
