It’s Been Years Now

It’s been years now of this weaving back together and then drifting apart. In time, always difficult to keep going, and always far too difficult to ever completely stop. Sometime love just “IS”.

Written by “Unknown” Who Surely Walks the Path I Walk
St. Valentine's Day weaving heart + AlphaAt some point
you will realize
that you have done
too much for someone,
that the only
next possible step
to do is to stop.
Leave them alone.
Walk away.
It’s not like
you’re giving up,
and it’s not like
you shouldn’t try.
It’s just that you
have to draw the line
of determination
from desperation.
What is truly yours
will eventually be yours,
and what is not,
no matter how hard you try,
will never be.

Imperfection Perfection

I am too old to find interest solely in the surface and shell of you. With your loving heart, truthful soul, sparkling eyes and radiant smile I am mesmerized. It is within your imperfect perfection that I see the greatest beauty in you.

Inspirational author and positivity originator, Shannon L. Alder
kintsugi04Your soulmate
wasn’t suppose
to be perfect.
You were meant
to see the cracks
in her soul
and fill them
with what you
have and she
was meant
to see yours.
Together you
would be
complete

Found You, Again.

When I allow myself to only feel without thought, it is as if I have always known you. Through different lifetimes I have carried this love in my heart to the present. Now is a good time. I have found you, again.

By American Fantasy Writer and Novelist Daniel C Nielsen
reunitedAn awakened man can
touch the heart of the woman
he loves without touching
her, just by opening his soul
and whispering her name.
And even then, it’s not the words.
The heart can convey expressions
of love without anything
being said. There is a
silent language that two people
in love understand, and neither
time nor distance is a barrier.
When their souls meet,
their senses are heightened,
energy flows, and a deep intimacy
is formed, as if the two have
known each other from eternity past.
That’s the power of the soul
and love at work.

Only Twice A Day

Through the ups and downs we have become closer as our love has matured and deepened. It’s amazing how the doubts are gone and have been replaced by an uncontested knowing deep within.

From “I Love You Too” by Amit Kalantri
boy-and-girlI think
of you
only
twice
a day –
when
I am
alone
and when
I am
with
someone
else.

Do I Dare

Dare I imagine what it would be like to be in love with you? Do I dare imagine you could love me too? Yes, I dare! Each time I am with you it seems more likely that love might in time bind us together with love.

is someone
that dreams
of your smile,

that life
is worthwhile,
so when you
are lonely

of you.

I’m Here

Into the great unknown we go with only one certainty: we want to be together. We have love and respect filled with determination. There’s passion and intimate friendship founded on honesty. I need know nothing else for certain, except you love me.

From “Eat, Pray, Love” by American author Elizabeth Gilbert
senior-couple-walking-country-21235370I’m here.
I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up
crying all
night long,
I will stay
with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you

Home

Honey…
“I’m home”. That’s how I feel in your arms; safe, cherished and loved. There is no better or stronger sense of belonging that I have known.

From “Home Sweet Home” by American novelist T.A. Chase

holding-hands (1)Home is
my heart
in your
hands,
and yours
in mine.
Nothing
will ever
change that.

A Hundred Cautions

Is it possible? Could it be true? Could I match someone so well she turns out to want only me as much as I want only her? Logic spins a hundred cautions. My heart trumps their appearance ten-fold with love.

By little known American writer, Michaela Ruiz
double sunset twoI think that we
were both
the same star
in the beginning
of the universe
and as the star
exploded
we drew apart.
Our atoms
merging
into two
different bodies,
but over time
our atoms
found a way
and found
each other again.

True and Unmistakable

Sweetheart…
A fire that warms but does not injure; a fall that moves upward and never down; a strength unbreakable, yet pliable and tender. Such things, and more, my love for you is made of; my feelings for you true and unmistakable.

From “The Notebook” by writer and film producer Nicholas Sparks
tender loveThe best
love is
the kind
that awakens
the soul
and makes
us reach
for more,
that plants
a fire
in our
hearts and
brings peace
to our minds.

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…
