Searching for the True

Sweetheart…
Loving you was never a choice. Knowing you first as a friend held my heart open so it could be almost unknowingly filled with you. I overflowed with love for you almost before I was aware of the emotion.

Scottish poet, novelist and translator, Edwin Muir
reimagining-my-lifeYes, yours, my love,
is the right human face.
I, in my mind
had waited for this long.
Seeing the false
and searching for the true,
Then found you
as a traveler
finds a place of welcome
suddenly
amid the wrong
valleys and rocks
and twisting roads.

No Regrets

Babe…
No matter what, I love you. Nothing can change that. Loving you is the best, most difficult thing I have ever done. I don’t regret a minute of it nor will I ever.

If you see a
chance to be
happy,
you have to
fight for it,
so later
you have
no regrets.

Your Heart Matches Mine

Sweetheart…
Do you really, really love me? Do you put me ahead of all others? Do you think you will you always love me? I asked those questions and you said “yes” without hesitation. There is no greater joy than knowing your heart matches mine.

From “The Fault in Our Stars” by author, blogger & historian John Green

in love
the way
you fall
asleep:
slowly,
and then
all at once.

Worth It

Sweetheart…
I spoke the words “I love you” before I said them to you. Falling for you has made me realize I expressed them then without full comprehension of their meaning. With you it feels like I have discovered love for the first time.

Singer, Songwriter, Poet and Author Oscar ‘Auliq-Ice’, Jr.
real-love-hdLove makes reality invisible
and no one around you
can understand why you do
the things you do,
for something that can
cause you so much pain.
Because you know
after all the fighting,
tears, and uncertainty,
it’s all worth it.

I Fell

My Darling…
For years I sensed you beyond imagination through every heartache that came; through every disappointment. I’ve been moving in your direction for so long I can no longer remember when your image began to take shape in my heart.

From “The Catastrophic History of You and Me” by Jess Rothenberg 
heart120aI was falling.
Falling through
time and space
and stars and sky
and everything
in between.
I fell for days
and weeks
and what felt like
lifetime
across lifetimes.
I fell until
I forgot
I was falling.

Magic In Your Eyes

Sweet One…
Could you be her; “the one” for the rest of my life? Why do I feel this strong pull toward someone I barely know? I am enticed by simply the possibility. Just looking at your photo I find magic in your smile and adventure in your eyes.

From the book “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert
mystery-woman 01Happiness is the consequence
of personal effort.
You fight for it,
strive for it,
insist upon it,
and sometimes even travel
around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly
in the manifestations
of your own blessings.
And once you have achieved
a state of happiness, you must never
become lax about maintaining it.
You must make a mighty effort
to keep swimming upward
into that happiness forever,
to stay afloat on top of it.”

Absolutely Certain

My Love…
We broke up. Months passed, but neither of us got over the other. Something strong pulled us back toward each other. We’re both cautious now of what might happen, but I know I love you. I’m absolutely certain of that.

One of my favorite writers, poets and philosophers, C. JoyBell C.
love on fire 01They say a good love is one
that sits you down,
gives you a drink of water,
and pats you on top of the head.
But I say a good love is one
that casts you into the wind,
sets you ablaze, makes you burn
through the skies and ignite the night
like a phoenix; the kind
that cuts you lose like a wildfire
and you can’t stop running simply
because you keep on burning everything
that you touch!
I say that’s a good love;
one that burns and flies,
and you run with it!

Something Rare and Beautiful

My Darling…
You are the first I have ever given my complete heart to without reservation. I love you with a depth that comes only once. Our souls are now so mingled I can not tell where either of us begins and ends.

From “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks
4581978846We 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.
