With All My Being

My Love…
Today is your birthday, the first of many I hope we get to share. Loving you and being loved in returned has made everything in my life more meaningful. I cherish you Darling and love you with all my being.

American writer, poet and greeting card writer Joanna Fuchs
heart shaped cakeHey, birthday love,
I think of you
On days both
dark and sunny.
You bring me joy
in every thought,
My precious,
loving honey!
So be my love
for all our lives,
And I’ll be
your love, too;
Each birthday
is another chance
To say,
“I love just you!”

Perfect for Me

My Darling…
“This is not my first rodeo”, but I hope my last. Searching for perfect love meant what I desired was out of reach. You came along unexpectedly and are outside what I thought I wanted, but you’re PERFECT for me. Love wins.. finally.

spooning tumblr_mcqxjnidgG1rvs5c9o1_500EDITOn one side, there’s the peaceful kind of love; the one that offers stability, comfort, and security. There are fights included, of course, but minor and infrequent ones. It’s mostly a soothing, tender love that dominates the relationship. And you think that’s all you want and need, until… You discover a different side. It’s almost foreign to you and completely unlike the usual, stable type of feelings you get with that other person…but that’s precisely what makes it appealing. A rush. An unknown adventure, inviting you in to discover it. Then it becomes a problem. The tranquility of spotting your lucky bracelet vs the excitement of unfolding a new gift. The boring vs the new, Truth vs passion. Which in the end translates to love vs lust. And what sets them apart, is that love is always worth it.

Different With Every Shore

Sweetheart…
Never has there been a love exactly like ours. Our individual uniqueness, the time we live in and the contents of our hearts and minds shape us. Sharing love with you is wonderful. I never want this to end.

From “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston
Making-Out edit… love isn’t something
like a grindstone
that’s the same thing
everywhere and does
the same thing to
everything it touches.
Love is like the sea.
It is a moving thing,
but still and all,
it takes its shape
from the shore it meets,
and it’s different
with every shore.

Home Is No Longer A Place

My Love…
Home has become wherever you are. From my heart and all through my body and soul knowing this has become my absolute truth. Home is no longer a place but a feeling that I know only with you by my side.

Lion_Love_by_kijani_lionFrom the song “Home Is Where You’re Happy” by Willie Nelson
Home is where you’re happy
and I’m happy here with you,
Or any place on earth
that you may be.
Home is where you’re happy,
just any house will do,
And I’ll feel at home
as long as you’re with me.

When Most Irrational

My Darling…
A logical man would fear loving you as I do; an overly sensible one would pick at the uncertainties till our romance was bleached clean of its goodness. Love is not supposed to make sense. When most irrational, is when it’s real!

From “Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life…” by Steve Maraboli
HEART_ON_FIRE_Wallpaper__yvt2The batshit
kind of love
that makes
no sense
at all…
and at
the same time…
all the sense
in the world…
That is us…
You and me;
“WE.”

All I Can Do Is Hope

My Love…
There is space between us right now. Stepping back to take stock of things is healthy for both of us. Already I know my feelings for you are even deeper than I thought before. All I can do is hope you are making similar discoveries.

Lebanese artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran
E114A67AE2BDD011E3EC68C9E7DF1 longLet there be spaces
in your togetherness,
and let the winds of
the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another but
make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a
moving sea between
the shores
of your souls.

Without Expectation

My Darling…
I catch myself wanting proof and evidence of your love, but that is loving with the expectation it will be returned in kind. I am learning to hope and even pray for your love, but to accept it is your choice, ‘if and how’ you love me.

American author, motivational speaker and professor Leo F. Buscaglia

always
bestowed
as a gift –
freely,
willingly,
and without
expectation
We don’t
love to
be loved;
we love
to love.

Wonderful and Unnerving

Sweetheart…
I never dreamed I’d love again much less this deeply. Being with you is teaching me I never truly let go and gave all my self before. The newness of loving you so much is wonderful and unnerving at the same time.

From an author unknown/anonymous writer

of people
are the ones
that come
into your life,
and make you see
the sun where you
once saw clouds.
The people who
believe in you
so much, you start
to believe
in you too.
The people that
love you,
simply for
being you.
The once in a
lifetime kind
of people.

Waiting For You For So Long

My Love…
You were in boyhood dreams. As a teenager I imagined you until you seemed real. Long before we saw each other for the first time, I met you in the fantasies of a man. I’ve been waiting for you for so long…

From “The History of Love: A Novel ” by Nicole Krauss
girl and boyMaybe the first time
you saw her you were ten.
She was standing
in the sun scratching her legs.
Or tracing letters
in the dirt with a stick.
Her hair was being pulled.
Or she was
pulling someone’s hair.
And a part of you
was drawn to her,
and a part of you resisted–
wanting to ride off
on your bicycle,
kick a stone,
remain uncomplicated.
In the same breath you felt
the strength of a man,
and a self-pity that made you
feel small and hurt.
Part of you thought:
Please don’t look at me.
If you don’t,
I can still turn away.
And part of you thought:
Look at me.

A Million Tiny Little Things

My Darling…
When you are away for even a day, there is no explaining how my heart leaps with happiness upon seeing you again. My world is incomplete without you in it. Plain and simple, I love you without reservation and need you beyond any doubt.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”
Affectionate coupleIt was
a million
tiny
little
things
that,
when
you added
them all up,
they meant
we were
supposed
to be
together
…and
I knew it.
