Tell Them

Love…
…is two dimensional until spoken. You can love with all your heart but until you tell the person you care about how you feel something is lacking. It’s like the different between a black and white photograph and one in color.

Saying by an anonymous author
If
you
love
someone
tell them,
for hearts
are often
broken by
words left
unspoken.

Suddenly and Unexpectedly

Love…
…does not make reservations or knock on one’s door to signal its arrival. It appears suddenly and unexpectedly. Love comes when it does; no sooner; no later. Love is solely its own master.

From “Lasting Love…” by psychologist and writer Gay Hendricks
Genuine
love
is
between
two
people
who
know
they
are
already
complete.

Beauty in Love’s Presence

Love…
…makes beautiful the ordinary and polishes the plain to shiny. An ordinary heart finds its beauty in loves presence; an everyday spirit finds its shine standing in love’s light.

American poet and Unitarian Minister, Kenneth L. Patton
She is
a maiden
made of
many flowers,
a million
blossoms
shaped to
form
one
bloom…

Something So Grand, Meaningful and Precious

Love…
…is frequently more evident in what is unspoken than what is said. It only makes sense that something so grand, meaningful and precious as love is impossible to be accurately described or expressed fully in words.

“Hearing Love” by an author unknown
There are things
you would love to hear
that you would never hear
from the person whom
you would like
to hear them from;
but do not be so deaf
as not to hear it
from the one
who says it
from his heart.

A Rush of Positive Feelings

Love…
…crescendos when we see each other after being apart for a few weeks. Anticipation becomes a sweet rhythm in the heart and the moment when we are together again brings a rush of positive feelings.

Best selling American author L. J. Smith
You don’t
love someone
because of their looks
or their clothes
or their car.
You love them
because they sing
a song only
your heart
can understand.

A Detailed Witness to the Others Life

Love…
…is getting photos from you on a far away holiday and reading the words of excitement you have in sharing them with me. One of the best things about loving and being loved is each becomes a witness to the details of the others life.

Author, Artist and Singer-Songwriter Kelli Jae Baeli
The trust and longevity
of a relationship
between two individuals
is established through time
and learning each other,
and discovering a harmony
at the core of their connection.
And it becomes powerful
because of where it resides;
at the center of who we are;
the very essence of our being.

The Natural Order of Things

Love…
…is the natural order of things. The very reason for men and women’s existence is to love and be loved. Ultimately there is nothing else worth having.

Taken from “Resignation” by Nikki Giovanni
I love you
because the Earth turns around the sun,
because the North wind blows north
sometimes,
because the Pope is Catholic,
and most Rabbis Jewish,
because winters flow into springs,
and the air clears after a storm,
because only my love for you,
despite the charms or gravity
keeps me from falling off this Earth
into another dimension.
I love you
because it is the natural order of things…

In Their Nature

Love…
…is felt the most profoundly by those who have known the least of it: those starved for love. Like a few morsels can bring life to one starving, just a little love can save a dying heart.

American novelist and screenwriter Nicholas Sparks
Someday
you’ll
find
someone
special
again.
People who’ve
been in love
once usually do.
It’s in their nature.

Beautiful Mysteries

Love…
… arrives with beautiful mysteries; “Have I somehow known you before? How else can the uncommon familiarity I feel with you be possible? Is the familiar I see in you a reflection of me in you or you in me?” The heart knows secrets it never fully reveals.

American author Maggie Stiefvater
You’re like
a song
that I heard
when I was
a little kid
but forgot
I knew
until I
heard
it again.

Stored In My Heart

Love…
…abounds in the simplest things and needs no extravagant expressions. A quick glance’s eye contact, a brief touch of our hands or a simple meal we made together are riches stored in my heart.

From “What I Love About You…” by Averil Binetti
The sparkle in your eye,
The warmth of your skin.
Your breath on my neck,
That quivers within.
The touch of your hand,
The smell of your hair.
The kindness in your smile,
That strength in your stare.
Your kiss on my lips,
Your body near mine.
The stroke of your touch,
That feeling inside.
