Unpredictable Arrival

Love…
…sends no advance warning nor does it knock on the door of the heart before entering. It is a surprise guest that moves in and takes up residence without notice. Love is predictable only in its unpredictable arrival.

From a poem by Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda
tumblr_m5ku7c0NpF1qm2v88o1_500I love you without
knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride;
so I love you because
I know no other way than this:
where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand
on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes
close as I fall asleep.

Until Forever’s Gone

Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.

From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
fireworksWith all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.

Contents of the Heart

Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.

A composite made from several versions written by unknown writers
??????????????????????????????????You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.

Fertile Ground

Love…
…runs when chased, but will catch you if you stop running from it. To grab for love creates a barrier against its arrival. To give up on love makes you no longer its possible destination. Letting go and keeping hope makes for fertile ground for love to grow in.

Quote by American writer Carl S. Avery
???????????????????????????????????????Love enables you
to put your
deepest feelings
and fears
in the palm
of your partner’s
hand, knowing
they will be
handled
with care.

Laughter Nourishes the Soul

Love…
…including laughter nourishes the soul best. Humorous moments like making funny faces, being silly, telling jokes, giggling, you walking around with my big shoes on your tiny feet, me acting crazy like a monkey and such, strengthen the spirit.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous

beautiful
thing is to
see a person
you love
smiling.
And even
more beautiful
is knowing
that you are
the reason
behind it.

Never the Same

Love…
…is shapeless, yet filled with substance. It is high and wide, but has no specific form. Love is always love, yet the experience of it is never the same for any two people.

Saying found randomly on searchquotes.com
new love rules editThe best kind of relationships
begin unexpectedly;
when you get
the astonished feeling
and everything happens
so suddenly.
That’s why
you don’t look for love.
It comes to you
just at the right time;
the time you never thought
it would have.

Never Stop Looking

Love…
…oh, how wonderful to be in love. Everything shines a bit brighter and magic moves into what was common. One feels completely alive and life makes a little more sense. Love is the best reason we have for living.

From “The End of the World as We Know It…” by Robert Goolrick

don’t
receive
love from
the ones
who are
meant to
love you,
you will
never stop
looking for it.

Mirrored Self Reflected Back

Love…
…cares nothing about our plans, where we think we’re headed or what choices we have made. Love seeks only its mirrored self reflected back from another heart and will defy all logic, rational thought and common sense to obtain it.

The Risk of It All

Love…
…is a complicated and compelling mystery; a story everyone wants to have a happy ending. All love brings happiness; some stay happy and many don’t. It is the risk of it all that makes loving and being loved so precious.

From “Lucky” by English Novelist, Jackie Collins
apple_heartFalling in love is like
getting hit by a truck
and yet not being
mortally wounded;
Just sick to your stomach,
high one minute,
low the next.
Starving hungry
but unable to eat.
Hot, cold, forever horny,
full of hope and enthusiasm,
with momentary depressions
that wipe you out.

Even Gravity Is Weakened

Love…
…does not require the focus of the heart to be present to be strong and lasting. Mature and secure love lasts whether together or not. The willingness to love from a distance shows love’s greatest depth.

“The Physics of Love” by Charles Brasch
love-is-blind-21645579The mutual magnetism of love
Nullifies every other force
That acts upon two infected bodies.
Even gravity is weakened as
They leap obstacles,
ride on the commonest occasions
Six inches above the unbelieving ground.
