Many Times

Sweetheart…
I finally “felt” what I think Valentine’s Day should be about: love, love and more love between two totally committed partners. Thank you for opening up the doors to a whole new life for me.

What’s In My Heart

My Darling…
Sometimes the urge comes to shout “I love you” as loud as I can over and over telling the world my feelings. What’s in my heart is so large how can anyone know the size of it unless I express it far beyond what is considered ‘normal’.

“Love Is a Fire that Burns Unseen” by Luís Vaz de Camões
576 LONGA wound
that aches yet isn’t felt,
An always
discontent contentment,
A pain
that rages without hurting,
A longing
for nothing but to long,
A loneliness
in the midst of people,
A never feeling
pleased when pleased,
A passion that gains
when lost in thought.
It’s being enslaved
of your own free will;
it’s counting
your defeat a victory…

Dreams We Have Spun Together

My Darling…
Every day I become a little more sure that you love and want me, and me alone above all others. There are moments when doubt comes, but I vanquish them by remembering how my belief in the dreams we have spun together!

From “Letters to a Young Poet” by Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke

that is being
stored up
for you like
an inheritance,
and have faith
that in this love
there is
a strength
and a blessing
so large
that you can
travel as far
as you wish
without having to
step outside it.

Plainly and Simply

Sweetheart…
When you’re in a bad mood, I love you. When I don’t understand why you’re acting a particular way, I love you. When you lose your cool, I love you. When you hardly notice I’m here, I love you. Plainly and simply, I love you.

American romantic novelist and producer Nicholas Sparks

love-spells4 editWe fell in love,
despite our
differences,
and once we did,
something rare
and beautiful
was created.
For me, love like that
has only happened once,
and that’s why every minute
we spent together
has been seared
in my memory.
I’ll never forget
a single moment of it.

Love Me Anyway

My Love…
There are haunts inside that cause me to hurt you, but they have nothing to do with you. I am grateful beyond expression for your forgiveness, especially when you don’t understand, yet love me anyway.

slow_dance editI promise you
I will try harder
to be better.
I have battled with
things inside me
for longer
than you know;
I do not know
what they are
or why they are there;
I only know
that they feel
manageable,
defeatable,
when I am
around YOU.

Real Estate In My Heart

My Darling…
My love for you is indelibly stamped on what once was untouched real estate in my heart. Now that space is forever yours. I would not want it any other way.

sky1 2 3 4I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.
