The experience of my heart urges caution. My memory says be careful. My spirit says “lean in” and let yourself be known. I hesitate. Yet there is something about you that attracts me like iron to a magnet.
German-born poet, novelist, and painter Hermann Karl Hesse
Love must
have
the strength
to become
certain
within
itself.
Then it
ceases
merely
to be
attracted
and begins
to attract.
Dare I imagine what it would be like to be in love with you? Do I dare imagine you could love me too? Yes, I dare! Each time I am with you it seems more likely that love might in time bind us together with love.

Somewhere there
is someone
that dreams
of your smile,
and finds in
your presence
that life
is worthwhile,
so when you
are lonely
remember
its true,
someone
somewhere
is thinking
of you.
Darling…
You have been missing from me my whole life. Your love now fills empty holes within I was barely aware of before. I am more; so much more than I have ever been before.
Seventeenth century English poet Richard Lovelace
…I have
freedom
in my
love,
And
in my
soul
am free.
Angels
alone
that soar
above,
enjoy
such
liberty.
All is well, but I miss you with an aching hunger to be near you. Only you can sate my yearning; only you my love. All the sweeter the time will be when next I hold you again.
Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran
Ever has
it been
that love
knows not
its own
depth
until
the hour
of separation.
Sweetheart…
Without a hint of warning you appeared; a stranger, yet someone I already knew. This knowing beyond knowing is unnerving if I allow my thinking mind to ponder it. Yet, my heart is certain in its conviction to love you. I’ve waited so long for you.
American Catholic archbishop, Fulton J. Sheen
Patience
is not
an absence
of action;
rather it
is “timing”…
it waits
on the
right time
to act,
for the right
principles
and in the
right way.
Sweet One…
Before I realized it, love for you filled my heart. When I discovered the depth of what was there I was overwhelmed with emotion. In every cell of my body; in every corner of my being my love for you fills me.
“Everything to Me” by Catherine (www.short-love-poem.com)
You are the light
when there is no sun.
You are the rainbow
after the rain is done.
You are the star
that twinkles in the night.
You are the moon
that glows so bright.
You are the wind
that whistles my name.
You are the love
when the world is the same.
You are the flowers
the bee’s never miss.
You are the beach
the warm sun kisses.
Sweetheart…
Loving you was never a choice. Knowing you first as a friend held my heart open so it could be almost unknowingly filled with you. I overflowed with love for you almost before I was aware of the emotion.
Scottish poet, novelist and translator, Edwin Muir
Yes, yours, my love,
is the right human face.
I, in my mind
had waited for this long.
Seeing the false
and searching for the true,
Then found you
as a traveler
finds a place of welcome
suddenly
amid the wrong
valleys and rocks
and twisting roads.
Sweetheart…
Do you really, really love me? Do you put me ahead of all others? Do you think you will you always love me? I asked those questions and you said “yes” without hesitation. There is no greater joy than knowing your heart matches mine.
From “The Fault in Our Stars” by author, blogger & historian John Green
I fell
in love
the way
you fall
asleep:
slowly,
and then
all at once.
Sweet One…
Whenever I am with you, it is like having my emotional batteries recharged with joy. Your smile radiates into me. Your touch sends little shivers through my body. Your presence pleases my mind and your soul pours peace on mine.
From “Safe Haven” by writer and Film Producer Nicholas Sparks
She wasn’t
exactly sure
when it
happened.
Or even when
it started.
All she knew
for sure
was that right
here and now,
she was
falling hard
and she could
only pray
that he
was feeling
the same way.
My Darling…
I am irrevocably changed. My existence has been permanently altered by loving you. I hear what was unheard; see what was unseen. My senses of taste, smell and touch are more alive than ever before.
By a writer unknown – anonymous
Sometimes you
feel everything
and nothing all at once.
Sometimes you’ll
find yourself smiling
while missing something
at the same time.
At times, you can
absolutely love a person,
all the while,
wanting to hate them.
Life comes with
no guarantees,
except that smiling
will brighten your face,
laughing will enhance your eyes,
and falling in love
will change your life.
