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.

Right Now

Love …
…usually arrives unpredictably like a rain shower. No matter how much you try to anticipate its arrival, you don’t really know it has begun until love is upon you.

So Much More

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

love,
And
in my
soul
am free.
Angels

enjoy
such
liberty.

Wealth of Your Affection

My Darling…
Youth isn’t wasted on the young, but love is often wasted by them. I am grateful to be “old” and understand the treasure of love and to be deeply thankful for the wealth of your affection.

Home

Honey…
“I’m home”. That’s how I feel in your arms; safe, cherished and loved. There is no better or stronger sense of belonging that I have known.

From “Home Sweet Home” by American novelist T.A. Chase

my heart
in your
hands,
and yours
in mine.
Nothing

change that.

The Remedy For My Yearning

My Love…
You are far, far away, yet right here with me. Your love is a poultice for my ache; the remedy for my yearning. Knowing how you feel in your heart about me brings joy that can not be described in words.

I Feel You Deeply

Darling…
When I think of you and remember all that we shared, my breathing is changed. Sometimes it is heavier. At others I end up trying to catch my breath. It is amazing how my love for you effects me. I feel you deeply.

From the song “You Take My Breath Away” by Patti and Tuck
heart-in-the-dark2Sometimes
it amazes me
How strong
the power of love
can be.
Sometimes
you just take
my breath away.
You’ve watched
my love grow
like a child,
Sometimes gentle
and sometimes wild.
Sometimes
you just take
my breath away.

How Blessed I Am

Sweetheart…
Few things do I unquestioningly know, but one constant never wavers: I love you. I know you are from the inside out to a depth most human beings never experience. How blessed I am to care so deeply and more so to be loved as deeply in return.

American romantic writer and blogger, James Browning
WillRealLoveWait1It comes down to this…
Without
expectation,
With no
qualification,
Without
doubt,
With no
hesitation,
I can say,
“I love you”
With
absolute clarity
and unwavering
certainty.

This Beautiful Craziness

My Darling…
I love you… madly, completely and without reservation in a way that is insanely wonderful. I love this beautiful craziness we have found together. Whether others understand is completely irrelevant.

From “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying…” by Bronnie Ware

Humbling, Exciting and Frightening

Sweetheart…
True love like ours is humbling, exciting and frightening: humbling to realize the magnitude of the rare gift we share; exciting to comprehend the blessing of sharing our lives; frightening at the possibility of losing you.
