All Along

It’s in the difficult times I know I love you most. Never is there a thought of moving away from you. My mind feels the same as my heart: love for you in a thousand ways.

Third century Persian Sufi poet, scholar and theologian, Rumi

I heard
my first
love story,
I started
looking for you,
not knowing
how blind
that was.
Lovers don’t
finally meet
somewhere.
They’re in each
other all along.

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 It’s amazing how the doubts are gone and have been replaced by an uncontested knowing deep within.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

of you
only
twice
a day –
when
I am
alone
and when
I am
with
someone
else.

Love Will Paint the Surroundings

Let’s go somewhere beautiful where we can sit together and soak up what we see, hear and feel. It doesn’t matter where because as long we’re together; where we are will be beautiful. Love will paint the surroundings into a beautiful memory.

14th century Persian mystic and poet Hāfez

Through It All

My Darling…
Through good times and not; through all the sweetness and what comes that’s bitter; through every sunny and rainy day, through agreement and difference, through health and sickness… I will love you and keep my place by your side. Always.

“Through It All” by Wayne Visser
Worlds may collide –
The sky turn to black
Mountains may crumble
The earth shake beneath your feet
Rivers may dry up
The oceans lash out with tidal waves –
And through it all
I will stand beside you.

Others may desert you –
Fair weather friends and fickle family
They may walk away
Turn their backs and harden their hearts
They may change their minds
Break their promises and leave –
But through it all
I will be beside you.

Storms may come –
The seasons turn to winter
Rain may fall
The sunshine blotted out to grey
Drought may strike
The soil left parched and cracked –
Yet through it all
I will stay beside you.

People may talk –
Wag their poison tongues and frown
They may whisper
Spread their rumours like a plague
They may sow their lies
Tut-tut and shake their disapproving heads –
Still through it all
I will be beside you.

We may be apart –
Separated by borders and time zones
Oceans may divide us
Whole continents stand in our way
Walls of belief may rise up
Demarcating your world and mine –
And through it all
I will appear beside you.

Sickness may visit –
Weaken your will to rise and shine
Time may grow heavy
Drag down your body and fray your mind
Doubts may linger
Gnawing at our love like a cancer –
But through it all
I will remain beside you.

Through all of this and more –
Through shining days and unexpected adventures
Through vivid nights and breath-taking summits
Through blissful moments and beauty discovered
Through passion flights and laughter spilled together –
I will be beside you
Because side by side, for now and always
Is where we belong.

Unfold In Reality

My Dear…
You have settled into my near constant thoughts, yet we hardly know each other. There is a familiarity about you that whispers I have known you before. Maybe it’s only a dream trying to unfold in reality.

existence.

Only Minutes Apart

Sweetheart…
Thank you for showing me such sweet tenderness. Being with you feels natural and good. I am excited to see you again, touch you and feel your lips on mine. Thoughts of you in my arms are sometimes only minutes apart.

Daytime Without Sunshine

My Darling…
If no strings and expectations is the only way for us to be together, I can do that. Life without you is like daytime without Sunshine. Find me in the shadows. Come make the day bright again.

Quote from an unknown writer found on mmm.mydearvalentine.com
a002I am
absolutely,
definitely,
positively,
unquestionably,
no strings attached,
beyond any doubt,
unconditionally,
in
love
with
you.

Something Rare and Beautiful

My Darling…
You are the first I have ever given my complete heart to without reservation. I love you with a depth that comes only once. Our souls are now so mingled I can not tell where either of us begins and ends.

From “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks
4581978846We fell in love,
despite our differences,
and once we did,
something rare
and beautiful was created.
For me, love like that
has only happened once,
and that’s why every minute
we spent together
has been seared
in my memory.
I’ll never forget
a single moment of it.

Only Want You

My Darling…
You are the first person I have been in a serious relationship where I did not think maybe I’d be better off with someone else. There is no doubt what is in my heart. I love you. I want only you. I have no room for anyone else.

26671_XXX_v1-w2000narrowMy heart only beats for you,
And no one else,
I only want you,
And no one else.
When I’m with you,
I only see you.
When I’m in your arms,
I feel safe.
When I’m not near you,
My heart hurts for you
until were together again.
I love you like no other person,
You were my best-friend,
But then we became so much more.
And I don’t regret it,
Not even for a minute.
I Only Want You &
So Does My Heart.
From a poem by Veronica Centeno

Without a Single Syllable

Lazy Sunday mornings are a favorite times. There is something special about skipping church, sleeping in and snuggling in bed with you. Without a single syllable spoken our love is plainly obvious and clearly expressed.
