Just As You Are

My Darling…
I accept you for all that you are and all that you are not. I see the goodness of your soul and know its darkness too. Inside out, outside in, top to bottom, fully and completely I love you just as you are.

American romantic fiction writer Nora Roberts

No one’s

to love you,
stick by you,

the way I do.

A Good Day Better

My Darling…
In an hour I’m meeting you for lunch. It’s only been a couple of days since we were last together, but I am excited to see you again. Being with you makes a good day better and helps save me from a bad one.

Early 20th Century Lebanese artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran

Beautiful Insanity

My Darling…
At one moment I think I am losing my mind and at another I feel completely rational. There is so much against us I can’t imagine things working out. But in my beautiful insanity I can’t imagine life letting you and I part either.

French playwright and novelist Françoise Sagan

A Summer Sunday Evening

My Darling…
In my car at sundown on a Summer Sunday evening with the windows open and music playing we made out like teenagers. That’s a memory I will never forget. You touch my heart, mind and soul as no one ever has.

New York Times Bestselling American author Sarah Addison Allen
kissing in the carIt was the best first kiss
in the history of first kisses.
It was as sweet as sugar.
And it was warm,
as warm as pie.
The whole world opened up
and I fell inside.
I don’t know where I was,
but I didn’t care.
I didn’t care
because the only person
who mattered
was there with me.

Be With Me Always…

My Love…
We breathe the same air and inhabit the same space. It has been you and me together for so long I can not remember life any other way, nor do I want to.

From “Wuthering Heights” by novelist and poet Emily Brontë

Only do not

in this abyss,
where I
cannot
find you!
Oh, God!
It is unutterable!
I can not live
without my life!
I can not live
without my soul!

Living a Dream

My Love…
I wonder how was I so lucky to have you fall in love with me. Some time in the waking haze of morning my first thought is you are only a character in a nighttime fantasy. Then I look over, see you and realize I am living a dream.

Show You Instead

My Love…
Often I try to find words to convey the depth of my feelings. Try as hard as I do, my discovery has been there is no language that can adequately express how much I love you. So I’ll keep trying to show you instead.

From “So Much Closer” by America Novelist Susane Colosanti
10Love-Sweet-LoveOne of the most
amazing things
that can happen
is finding someone
who sees everything
you are and won’t let
you be anything less.
They see the potential
of you. They see endless
possibilities. And through
their eyes, you start to see
yourself the same way
as someone who matters.
As someone who
can make a difference
in the world.

Made More Perfect

Love…
…is a harsh teacher, but I bear no malice toward cupid’s mistaken arrows. Each grinding of my heart molded it to be ready for you. Through pain and heartbreak I was softened and made more perfect in my ability to love you.

From “Romeo and Juliet” by English Playwright William Shakespeare

Love Simply “Is”

Love…
…answers no questions. Love simply “is”. It would not exist between us if we had not taken the time to know each other to the bone. In each discovery of one another there existed the possibility of feast or famine.

From “The Genius and the Goddess” by English writer Aldous Huxley
12_portrait_of_indian_coupleWhy do
you love
the woman
you’re in
love with?
Because she is.
And that,
after all,
is God’s own
definition
of Himself;
I am that I am.
The girl is
who she is.

I Knew It

Love…
…came not because of one thing, but because of many. In coming to know you I have discovered so much I like; so much to be glad, even joyful about. If I had custom made you for me, I could not have done a better job.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”
