I love…
…how people are attracted by your kind and caring ways. You carry a gentle light around you that is easy to see for anyone who looks close enough.
From song “The Way You Look Tonight” by Kern & Fields
With each word,
your tenderness grows,
tearing my fears apart.
And that laugh,
that wrinkles your nose
touches my foolish heart.
You’re lovely,
with your smile so warm
and your cheek so soft,
there is nothing for me
but to love you.
Admiration
Scent of a Lady
I love…
…when I hug you from behind and can put my face in your hair to smell the wonderful “scent of a lady” that is uniquely you.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade in the Movie “Scent of a Woman”
Have you ever buried your nose
in a mountain of curls
(and) just wanted to go to sleep forever?
Or lips…
and when they touched yours were like
that first swallow of wine
after you just crossed the desert?
The Way Your Eyes Shine
I love…
…how much respect and understanding you treat me with. You cause me to feel loved beyond what I have known before.
From “Love Poem #37” by Scotty Wright
The whisper of your voice,
the warmth of your touch,
so many little things
that make me love you so much.
The way you support me,
and help with my emotions,
the way that you care
and show such devotion.
The way your eyes shine
when you look at me,
lost with you forever
is where I want to be.
I could go on for days,
telling of what I feel,
but all you really must know
is my love for you is real.
Every Time I Think of You
A Heart Inflamed
I love…
… when I put my hands around your waist I am reminded how small it is. The yoga you do every morning makes you appear years younger than your age.
“On Beauty” from “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
Beauty
Is not a need
But an ecstasy
It is not a mouth thirsting
Nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather
A heart inflamed
And a soul enchanted.
You Inspire Me
I love…
…your intelligence, open mind and inquisitive spirit. Your desire to continually grow and evolve into a better person causes me to strive even more to do the same thing.
Taken from “Best Friends” by Merrie E. Lally
You inspire me
To be a better person.
When I dream,
You applaud.
When I cry,
You listen.
I Love How You Love Me
I love…
…when you feel a bit lost, weighed down or out of sorts you don’t ask me to fix your problem. Usually all you need is to know I love you and for me to listen in order for you to find the answers you’re looking for.
From song “I Love How You Love Me” by Mann & Kolber
I love how your eyes close
Whenever you kiss me
And when I’m away from you
I love how you miss me
I love the way you always
Treat me tenderly
But darlin’ most of all
I love how you love me
The Full Sense of Sweetness
I love…
…how beautifully stunning you were last night: a dazzling aura around you, a graceful light in your smile, a charming manner about you, an elegant sparkle from your eyes, a sweet warmth in your embrace. I love how loving me looks on you.
Robert Browning to Elizabeth Barrett May 25, 1846
…every now and then
the full sense of the sweetness
collects itself
and overcomes me entirely,
as now…
I am blessed by you
in a hundred unspeakable ways…
A Spark of Heavenly Fire
I love…
…how good with money you are. Thrifty but not cheap… a saver but not a miser… economical but not overly frugal. Most women could take lessons from you about how to get the most out of what they have!
By Washington Irving from “The Sketch Book”
There is in every true woman’s heart,
A spark of heavenly fire,
Which lies dormant
In the broad daylight of prosperity,
But which kindles up
And beams and blazes
In the dark hour of adversity.
