Sought After and Rare

Love…
…needs two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned in kind. Unrequited love is the all too common state that makes true love so sought after and rare.

American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)

is not
a potion
one person

and another
refuse to drink.
It happens
only when
the souls
of two join
together
to form
one.

Through My Eyes

Love…
…causes me to see you as I have never seen anyone else. I see your imperfections, yet know you are perfect for me. As they are now and always have been since we were children, my feelings will never change.

Shouts Its Name Silently

Love…
…is easy to spot when real and true. There’s an invisible glow about a loving couple in good and bad times. Such love can’t be faked. Genuine and faithful hearted love shouts it name silently.

From “The Name of the Wind” by American writer Patrick Rothfuss
slowdanceMy parents
danced together,
her head
on his chest.
Both had
their eyes closed.
They seemed so
perfectly content.
The image of them
gently swaying
to the music
is how
I picture love
in my mind
even after
all these years.

Not Something We Give or Get

Love…
…is enduring and durable. When two people are meant for each other; no time is too long; no distance too far; no obstacle too difficult; no pain too great. For you, I would endure anything.

American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown

something
we give or get;
it is something
that we nurture
and grow,
a connection
that can only
be cultivated
between
two people
when it exists
within each
one of them…

Two Hearts in Unison

Love…
…is what allows a person to be their most vulnerable with the belief he or she will not get hurt. It’s an almost blind faith that more often than not is undeserved. But when the risk pays off, the angels sing with two hearts in unison.

American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown

love when we
allow our most
vulnerable and
powerful selves
to be deeply
seen and known,
and when we
honor the spiritual
connection that
grows from that
offering with trust,
respect,
kindness
and affection.

A Melody From Living

Love…
…makes a melody from living: holding hands; watching a sunset, comforting each other; eye contact; waking in the morning; a kiss before we part and so much more. All play together to create the harmony that is our love.

American clergyman, social reformer and writer Henry Ward Beecher

Grateful Beyond Words

Love…
…allowed me to see how unique and special you are; to look inside your heart and know I am safe. Loving you and you loving me has taught what trust, tenderness and true love is. I am grateful beyond words.

French author and Nobel Prize in Literature. Francois Mauriac

I Knew It

Love…
…came not because of one thing, but because of many. In coming to know you I have discovered so much I like; so much to be glad, even joyful about. If I had custom made you for me, I could not have done a better job.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”

Art of Love

Love…
…has painted a masterpiece on my heart. Down to the smallest detail, cupid’s artistry is engraved upon my soul. All who witness you and I together know we are the art of love at its best.

Eyes of Love

Love…
…for you makes my world better. Colors are brighter. People are nicer (me too!). My hope is stronger. My beliefs are more certain. Rain or shine, any type of weather is beautiful. Seeing with eyes of love improves everything.
