Learn the Song

I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.

By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.

Splendor on the Landscape

I love…
…my life and having you as a part of it. As flowers paint splendor on the landscape your presence adds color to my existence.

German psychologist and philosopher Eric Fromm
Love is
the only
sane
and
satisfactory
answer
to the problem
of human existence.

Gentle Nudging at My Soul

I love…
…feeling romance in my heart again. It has touched me deeply with its sparkle of hope. Come what may I am grateful to know I still have the ability to fall in love. Thank you for showing me how.

From “Falling In Love Again’ by Alek House
I’d crept into the deepest darkest place,
Where life and love no longer saw my face.
My heart was cold, my very soul was dead.
My only solace, memories in my head.
You came to me and caught me unaware,
And unprepared, I fell into your lair.
I struggled as you crawled into my mind,
Afraid of what your loving me might find.
And as I stayed resistant to your touch
You never turned away, instead t’was such
an oh so gentle nudging at my soul
that woke me with your ever sweet cajole.

Every Single Time

I love…
…what it feels like to have you in my arms when you have not been there for a while. It brings a sort of reawakening every single time.

From the book “I Love You” by Susan Polis Schutz
Sometimes you do not
say anything
and I know exactly
what you are thinking.
Sometimes you
see something beautiful
and it is as though I see it too.
Sometimes you
touch something
and by holding your hand
I feel like I
touch it also.

Nothing More Beautiful

I love…
…that we are sharing this part of our lives with each other. Only after many years of living were we ready to find and appreciate each other. Everything we have known, experienced and endured was in readiness for us to share what we are experiencing together now.

Beautiful thought by a writer unknown
There is nothing
more beautiful
than a person
whose heart
has been
torn apart,
but still
believes in
the beauty of love.

Love’s Brush Will Paint for Us

I love…
…that my heart has discovered it can feel again. Through you I have come again to know love in full and broad dimensions instead of the narrow daydream my heart grasped to hold on to for such a long time.

From the poem “My Friend, My Love” by K. Brook
The lines of age
will etch
their mark on us
and time
will take
the strength
from our bodies.
But love’s brush
will paint for us
a picture of such beauty,
That a hundred lifetimes
could not remove their glory.

Good to Feel Hope

I love…
…feeling you in my heart. In that space was nothing for a long time; just barren emptiness. It is good to feel hope there again.

American journalist and author Mignon McLaughlin
Love
unlocks
doors
and
opens
windows
that
weren’t
even
there
before.

She’ll Steal Your Heart

I love…
…that you never seem to tire of spending time with me and express your feelings about that openly. To know my presence matters to you that much means a lot to me.

From a poem posted on poemhunter.com by Udiah (witness to Yah)
Soft and warm
Sealed with care
Sweet and kind
Will ever share
Brave and strong
Yet so fair
That is her
She’s always there.
If you meet her
Best Beware
She’ll steal your heart
unaware
Her name is Love
This I swear
There’s none like her
anywhere.

You Make Lovin’ Fun

I love…
…how we amuse each other with cute and funny things we write in emails and notes we send each other. It puts real meaning into the song lyric “you make lovin’ fun”.

French Writer Nicolas Chamfort
The
most
wasted
day
is
that
in
which
we
have
not
laughed.

Survey the Mighty Universe

I love…
…that you remind me of things I have mentioned wanting to do. Once again today you caused me remember something important that otherwise would have slipped my memory.

Roman philosopher, statesman, and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man
could mount
to heaven
and survey
the mighty universe,
his admiration
of its beauties
would be
much diminished
unless he had someone
to share in his pleasure.
