Abundantly Clear

Love…
…has been a healing salve for us. After all that’s happened, the depth of our respect and affection for each other is abundantly clear. I love you Sweetheart and being loved by you is the best thing that ever happened to me.

The Common State

Love…
…takes two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned. Unrequited love is the common state that in comparison makes mutual and true love so valuable.

American story-teller and author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)

the swiftest,
but it is
the slowest
of all growths.
No man or
woman really
knows what
perfect love is
until they have
been married
a quarter
of a century.

Two Halves

Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…

Quote by an obscure writer named Alexis Delp

Never Grow Old

Love…
…has blessed us with its power and held you and me together through all the years we have shared. You are as much a part of me as my right hand and far more important.

American author, motivations speaker and professor Leo Buscaglia

grow old.
Locks may
lose their
brown and gold.
Cheeks may fade
and hollow grow.
But the hearts
that love
will know,
never winter’s
frost and chill,
summer’s warmth
is in them still.

What I Want

Love…
…survives in spite of famine, tragedy and illness. When life is most challenging what is in the heart is spilled forth in the greatest measure. Love is neither remedy nor cure, but makes bitter medicine easier to swallow.

From the novel “Today Only” by American author D. Love
imagesCA3H0YPHWhat I want
from you
is simple.
I want
today only.
If it’s laughter,
I want it.
If it’s pain,
I want it.
Whatever
today holds,
as long as
the day
holds you,
I want it.

Until the End of Time

Love…
…keeps you close always. You are alive in my heart, constant in my thoughts and permanently mingled with my soul. There is no separate “me” anymore; only you and I; us.

“Have I Ever Told You…” by Gianella Ramirez

Kissing_Couples_Love_Forever12Have I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear
the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and,
somehow,
I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes
and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how
this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?

The Beginning of Forever

Love…
…is never more beautiful that at the marriage ceremony of two happy and compatible people deeply in love. It is the beginning of the “forever” both are risking their dreams for.

Madame De Favras to De Favras January 14, 1790

Never has

and I repeat to you,

that I will devote

I’ll Wait For You

Love…
…makes my heart yours. Hindsight always seems so clear while what’s ahead appears to be obscured in fog. Time is slowly vaporizing like hazy mist in the morning sun and one day, I too, will evaporate back to where I once came from. If I am the first to go, I’ll wait for you there.

A Beautiful Reminder

Love…
…is when you look into someone’s eyes and see everything you need reflected back to you. There is no mistaking it for something else. You’ll know beyond doubt when true love is present.

Contents of the Heart

Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.

??????????????????????????????????You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.
