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.

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.

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”

a million
tiny
little
things
that,
when
you added
them all up,
they meant
we were
supposed
to be
together
…and
I knew it.

Their Life’s Journey

My Darling…
The future offers no certainty except the hope I place on it. There in the prospects of what might be I find faith for what will become of us: a man and a woman deeply in love who become a family and share their life’s journey.

American romantic poet and author Coco J. Ginger

that you allow me
to keep you here
in my heart…

Start of Our First New Year Together

My Darling…
Last night will be remembered as magical; you in a long flowing dress; me in black and white. At the ball we partied, danced, ate, smoked cigars on the terrace and fell deeper in love; a sweet start for our first new year together.

East Indian writer and essayist Ritu Ghatourey
2014 BrowningWhen we are in a

relationship,
we receive the gift
of being known
and accepted.
We become more,
not less,
of who we are.
We receive
the space
in which to bloom.

Meant To Be With You

My Love…
In my best dream I was unable to conjure one I could care so much about, who could interest and excite me like you. Through our ups and downs there’s never doubt I am meant to be with you.

From Act 2, Scene 2 Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Romeo-and-Juliet-4-Vogue-2Oct13-PR_b_646x430My bounty
is as boundless
as the sea,
My love
as deep;
the more
I give to thee,
The more
I have,
for both
are infinite.
