More Lasting

Sweetheart…
Saying I love you sounds too simple. Saying you mean the world to me doesn’t say enough. There is no definition that could truly describe this love.

From “A Year From Wednesday” by James Browning
white treeOur Love is
bigger than
four letters;
Far more
beautiful than
it appears.
Deeper than
can ever
be imagined.
Higher than
possible to
comprehend.
Wider than
a distance
can be measured.
And more lasting
than our lives.

With All

Oh My Darling…
What dream is this? What wish consumes me? What fantasy am I lost in? What fancy have I plunged? What trance have I entered? What vision has blinded me? What delight am I lost within? What daydream have I fallen into? You Baby… YOU.

True Love

Darling…
This love is too mature to be only limerence, yet contains every associated symptom. It is too old to be only heat, yet burns constant, bright and warming like the morning sun. It is too lasting to be only light, yet all paths forward are obscured by its brightness. This love simply is and will be.

From “The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen
mothThere is
never a time
or place
for true love.
It happens
accidentally,
in a heartbeat,
in a single
flashing,
throbbing
moment.

Melt Together

My Love…
We are fodder for a fire, that burns brightly yet does not incinerate; that grows hotter with time, yet does not obliterate; that protects with its heat; that melts two into one entity as certainly as crayons melt together on a hot stove.

Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning June 26, 1846
0-2aShall I always
think the
same of you,
you asked
yesterday.
But I
never think
the same
of you;
because
day by day
you look greater
and feel dearer…
