Being with You

More then One Plus One

My Darling…
We’re very different but a great match. Day by day we grow closer and fall deeper into “like” and “love”. We’re no longer complete apart. You plus me is far more than one plus one.

Adapted from the poem “Take the Chance” by Teseth
310OcphVvULHere are the words
That you long to know
I need you, I love you,
I won’t let you go.
Here are the words
That I long to feel
You need me, you want me
Your love is for real.
To share our true thoughts
We both now must choose
To share all of ourselves;
It’s win or lose.
We’ll both reap rewards
If we just take the chance;
What a remarkable life
You, me, and romance.

This Rare Variety of Love

My Darling…
Swear you’re mine and then tell me again and again. I’ll reply with “I love you” echoed back a million times. “Forever and always” is this rare variety of love we have been blessed with.

From “Whenever, Wherever” by Shakira/Tim Mitchell/Gloria Estefan
U372035_doug_hyde_hearts_and_smiles_creative_art_gallery_oxford_woodstock_oxfordshire_newwebWhenever,
wherever
We’re meant
to be together…
I’ll be there
and you’ll be near…
You’ve got me
head over heels..
You’ll never
have to wonder…
There’s nothing
left to fear…

Love Me Anyway

My Love…
There are haunts inside that cause me to hurt you, but they have nothing to do with you. I am grateful beyond expression for your forgiveness, especially when you don’t understand, yet love me anyway.

Buddhist photographer, poet, author and artist Tyler Knott Gregson
slow_dance editI promise you
I will try harder
to be better.
I have battled with
things inside me
for longer
than you know;
I do not know
what they are
or why they are there;
I only know
that they feel
manageable,
defeatable,
when I am
around YOU.

‘The One’

My Darling…
I hope me often expressing how I feel does not lessen the words. When I say “I love you”, my heart happily overflows, my eyes twinkle with joy and my soul feels the peace of knowing I am where I should be. You’re ‘the one’ for me.

lovers-hd-wallpaperRomantic writer and poet Yarne Gaskins
Every time I say I love you…
I’m really trying to say so much more than those three little words.
I’m trying to say you mean more to me than anyone else in the world.
I’m trying to let you know that I adore you
and that I cherish the time we spend together.
I’m trying to explain that I want you and that I need you
and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts every time I think about you.
And each time I whisper I love you,
I’m trying to remind you that
you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Without Expectation

My Darling…
I catch myself wanting proof and evidence of your love, but that is loving with the expectation it will be returned in kind. I am learning to hope and even pray for your love, but to accept it is your choice, ‘if and how’ you love me.

American author, motivational speaker and professor Leo F. Buscaglia

always
bestowed
as a gift –
freely,
willingly,
and without
expectation
We don’t
love to
be loved;
we love
to love.

Start of Our First New Year Together

My Darling…
Last night will be remembered as magical; you in a long flowing dress; me in black and white. At the ball we partied, danced, ate, smoked cigars on the terrace and fell deeper in love; a sweet start for our first new year together.

East Indian writer and essayist Ritu Ghatourey
2014 BrowningWhen we are in a
truly loving
relationship,
we receive the gift
of being known
and accepted.
We become more,
not less,
of who we are.
We receive
the space
in which to bloom.

Meant To Be With You

My Love…
In my best dream I was unable to conjure one I could care so much about, who could interest and excite me like you. Through our ups and downs there’s never doubt I am meant to be with you.

From Act 2, Scene 2 Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Romeo-and-Juliet-4-Vogue-2Oct13-PR_b_646x430My bounty
is as boundless
as the sea,
My love
as deep;
the more
I give to thee,
The more
I have,
for both
are infinite.

With You By My Side

My Dear…
If you could see into my heart you would be amazed how much of the space there is occupied by my love for you. Faster than I believed possible you have conquered me with your smile, passion and love.

http://www.romance-love.net/2013/07/my-heart-is-yours-love-poems.html (By Pete Weelmaa)
p-romantic-pictures-009My heart is yours
for the taking
for it has always been
yours and yours alone.
I’ve laid all that I am
on the table for you to see;
I hold no secrets
from your eyes.
Let me be the one
that earns your love,
let me be the one
to end the tears
and fears of disappointment;
let me show you
what real love
could be like…
you complete the dream of
where I want to be;
which is,
with you by my side.

It’s You I Want

Sweetheart…
Some days just a little and other times a lot. Then there are moments when love leaps forward and overpowers me. Then more than ever I realize how lucky I am to love you and be loved by you. Forever my darling; it’s you I want.

By a writer unknown/anonymous author
waf_LoveForever(72)When you smiled
you had my
undivided attention.
When you laughed
you had my urge
to laugh with you.
When you cried
you had my urge
to hold you.
When you said
you loved me,
you had my heart
forever.

Wonderfully True

My Love…
From the beginning I knew what we shared was special. I hoped with all my heart we would grow together and our relationship would be lasting. The years have passed quickly while my hope became wonderfully true.

English writer, philosopher and painted William Hazlitt

capable
of steady

love,
are the two

proofs,
not only
of goodness
of heart,
but of
strength
of mind.
