Like Butter On Toast

My Love…
I know you, but have no first-hand knowledge. I feel you near, but far away. I have held out for a long time always believing in something I can’t explain. As sure as sunrise you’re waiting for me… somewhere.

From “Water for Elephants” by American/Canadian writer Sara Gruen
live-your-dreams-my-dream-is-23986887-1600-1200I want her
to melt
into me,
like butter

I want to
absorb her
and walk
around
for the rest
of my days
with her
encased
in my skin.

Love At First Sight

My Darling…
We just met and this magic feeling may not last. With all my being I hope it does! But if this day is all there is I will always be able to say truthfully I know what love at first sight feels like.

By an anonymous and unknown author
1832_1365436170We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience
makes us feel completely alive.
Where every sense is heightened,
every emotion is magnified,
our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flying into the heavens.
It may only last a moment,
an hour, an afternoon.
But that doesn’t diminish its value.
Because we are left with memories
that we treasure
for the rest of our lives.

A Good Day Better

My Darling…
In an hour I’m meeting you for lunch. It’s only been a couple of days since we were last together, but I am excited to see you again. Being with you makes a good day better and helps save me from a bad one.

Constantly Between Us

My Darling…
The last three days were a test. We were together constantly for the longest time yet and it was all good. Whether we were busy doing something or just hanging out, love was constantly between us.

Without Reservation

My Love…
Without hurry or excess it it is you I have loved best. There have been trials but we bested every one and became stronger for overcoming them. With full consciousness and great gratitude I love you without reservation.

is a force
that connects us
to every strand
of the universe,
an unconditional
state that
characterizes
human nature,
a form of
knowledge
that is always
there for us
if only we
can open
ourselves to it.

On Second Thought

My Darling…
Can it really be decades since we met? At first thought it can’t have been more than ten or twelve years ago. On second thought it feels like we’ve always been together. My life is many times better because you are in it.

All that Came Before

My Darling…
Too often heartache has been my companion. I know its sorrow well. The will to love almost left me completely, but then you came along to show me all that came before was to prepare me to love you as deeply as I do.

str-ly_com_1366667325_954Everyone says
that loves hurts,
but that’s not true.
Loneliness hurts.
Rejection hurts.
Losing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses
these things with love
but in reality,
love is the only thing
in this world
that covers up
all the pain
and makes us feel
wonderful again.

Symphony of Clouds

My Love…
I attempt to use words to describe how I feel, but they’re inadequate. I’d just as well try to spin gold from spider webs or direct a symphony of clouds. You have given all of yourself to me and the ability escapes me to express my heart.

and it’s all
because of you.
I don’t know how
to say thank you
enough times.
You have changed
me for the better.

Deep and Unshakeable

My Darling…
At first it was a small love. As the years have passed it has grown larger and larger as we made it through every challenge thrown at us. This love for you has grown to be deep and unshakable.

Mexican television, theatre, and film actor Ricardo Montalban

doesn’t happen
right away;
it’s an ever
growing process.
It develops
after you’ve
gone through
many ups
and downs,
when you’ve
suffered
together,
cried together,
laughed together.

I Am Yours

My Darling…
Loving you has changed me forever. Life will never be the same again. Through the ups and downs; the chills and spills; the good days and bad days; and everything living can throw at us I am yours.
