So Alive

My Darling…
How you have touched me is beyond my ability to realistically explain. I thought the days when a woman like you might want and need me were past. Then you showed up and awakened my heart and soul. I feel so alive.

are still fresh

Your touch

I close my eyes
and see you.
I breathe and
smell you again.

As Long As You Want Me

I get jealous sometimes and do things before I think them through. I don’t dress well or have money in the bank. But I love you as honestly and faithfully as a man can love a woman. Always and forever, I yours for as long as you want me.

19th Century French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo

Finally Home

My Love…
For a long time I was searching, but did not know for what or who. Like a man blinded by darkness I made my way stumbling forward until I ran into you on the sidewalk. Bumping into you literally changed my life.

Without the Clay Between

My Love…
Each night before sleeping I pray: May we always be together; strong in the face of challenge with tenderness that never becomes calloused. May we never lose our innocence and play as young lovers no matter how many years go past.

From the 19th Century poem “Silent Love” by Frances S. Osgood

moss rose!! imagesCA4VY9V1Let our love be still;
a folded flower,
A pure, moss
rose-bud blushing
to be seen,
Hoarding its balm
and beauty
for that hour
When souls
may meet without
the clay between.

Barely Dared Imagine It

My Love…
Waking beside you for the thousandth time brings the repeated realization how fortunate I am. To share my life with you was once such a distant possibility I barely dared imagine it. Now you love me… you really, really love me!

to call her beautiful,
Listen to her problems,
be a shoulder to cry on.
I want to be that guy
who stays up late
just to hear her voice,
saying goodnight
and good morning
everyday.
I want to let her know
how much she means to me
and how special she is.
I want to grow old with her
and kiss her softly.
I sit here and think,
Boy, how lucky I am
to have such an amazing girl
in my life. I will always
be there for her.

A Million Miles and Two Lifetimes

My Love…
My days of feeling left out and lonesome seem a million miles and two lifetimes ago. The years since we found each other and fell in love changed how my heart feels and my mind thinks. You plus me equals so much more than two.

Old Feelings Still Resonate

My Love…
Has it really been twenty-six years since we met and fell in love? Our magical time lasted only for about eighteen months, but those old feelings still resonate in me with the beautiful tones of a once in a lifetime love.

A Changed man

My love…
I sing off-key to love songs and write sugary letters. I watch chic-flicks and am unafraid to shed a tear. Sports is no longer my life and I come home right after work. Loving you has made me a changed man.

Thank You for Saving Me

My Love…
I always thought love was somewhere between a diversion and a sport before I met you. Then I learned how a man who has been the most resistant to love, falls the hardest. I was insanely lost before. Thank you for saving me.

Since We Fell In Love

My Love…
Colors seem brighter and smells more acute. I feel stronger and more capable; like I could accomplish anything. My heart is softer, my spirit more determined and my mind is more calm since we fell in love.

From “Today Only” by contemporary romance Writer Derinda Love
Kissing InTheStreet at nightWhat 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.
