Two Halves

Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…

Most Private Parts of Me

Love…
…deep and true proves I was made for you and you alone. Others have come and gone but always I remained distant. No one ever stole my heart. When you arrived it felt simply natural to throw open the windows of the most private parts of me.

the rest is
up to them.

Do you Long…

I love…
…how you get goose bumps and shutter with delight when I kiss and nibble on your shoulder. Feeling you fills me with sweetness and delight.

From song “Do You Long For Me Tenderly by Elsa Schieder
navarro nibblingdo you long for me tenderly
do you long for my embrace
do you long for me tenderly
do you long to touch softly
your palm to my face
do you long to hold me
do you long to caress
do you long to love me
with tenderness

Full Acceptance

Love…
…drives me to know only the person you truly are. Please do not change because you think you need to. It is the height and depth of the real you that I want in my heart; nothing else.

American teacher and writer Karen Casey, Ph.D.

loving
another
means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full acceptance,
even celebration
of another’s
personhood.

Someone

Love…
…at its best brings contentment, strength and a sense of knowing more completely who you are. Many other feelings like self-doubt, uncertainty and disbelief sometimes pass for aspects of love but are most often only contaminants created by one’s own mind.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
waking up editFind someone who isn’t afraid
to admit that they miss you.
Someone who knows
that you are not perfect,
but treats you as if you are.
Someone whose biggest fear
is losing you.
One who gives their heart
completely.
Someone who says I love you
and means it.
Last but not the least,
find someone you wouldn’t mind
waking up with you
in the morning,
seeing your wrinkles
and your gray hair
but still falls in love
with you all over again.

Stitched Together With Good Intentions

Love…
…is expressed in the simplest of things like you holding on to my arm closely when you’re scared, frightened or emotional or me putting my hand on your back softly to usher you though a door. All are reminders “you are not alone”.

From “Magical Thinking: True Stories” by Augusten Burroughs
goofing aroundI like flaws
and am most
comfortable
around those
who have them.
I, myself,
am made
up entirely
of flaws,
stitched together
with good intentions.

Unique Presence In A Room

Love…
…shows in the curve of your smile, in the shine in your eyes and in the way you move to be near. You have a special way about you that causes others to easily notice your unique brand of presence in a room.

English musician, singer and songwriter Florence Welch
in the darkenessA falling star
fell from your heart
and landed in my eyes.
I screamed aloud,
as it tore through them,
and now it’s left me blind.
I took the stars from my eyes,
and then I made a map.
And knew that somehow
I could find my way back.
Then I heard your heart beating,
you were in the darkness too.
So I stayed in the darkness with you.

The Best Of Me

Love…
…shows clearly in how comfortable I am with you. Never do I wish to be anything but the “me” I truly am. The open acceptance I feel from you strengthens my confidence and belief in myself. It brings out the best of me.

Nineteenth Century American novelist Louisa May Alcott
Love is a flower
that grows in any soil,
works its sweet miracles
undaunted by autumn frost
or winter snow,
blooming fair
and fragrant all the year,
and blessing those who give
and those who receive.

Memorable Adventures

Love…
…makes the commonplace, uncommon. A simple activity like holding hands walking through a parking lot can become a memorable adventure.

New York young adult fiction author Rachel Cohn
It’s BS
to think of friendship
and romance
as being different.
They’re not.
They’re
just variations
of the same love.
Variations
of the same desire
to be close.

The Common Transforms Into Delight

Love…
…can make ordinary things seem extraordinary: a ride in the first cool air near fall; a meal with conversation; browsing at a bookstore and buying nothing. The common transforms into delight when filtered through a loving heart.

British novelist and scriptwriter Elinor Glyn
Romance
is the
glamour
which turns
the dust
of everyday
life into
a golden
haze.
