Why?

Sweetheart…
My eyes see color in more luscious shades; everything I touch has a richer texture; smells of the season are unusually delightful; music is more pleasing to hear and even food tastes better. Why? Love, my darling; our love…

Symphony of Clouds

My Love…
I attempt to use words to describe how I feel, but they’re inadequate. I’d just as well try to spin gold from spider webs or direct a symphony of clouds. You have given all of yourself to me and the ability escapes me to express my heart.

makes me feel
is like trying to
describe water.
I don’t feel so
empty anymore.
I’m starting to
breathe again
and it’s all
because of you.
I don’t know how
to say thank you
enough times.
You have changed
me for the better.

My Everything

My Love…
You are my best friend, my shoulder to lean on, the one person I know I can count on. You’re the love of my life, you’re my one and only, you’re my everything. Sharing life with you is the sweetest thing I’ve ever known.

So Alive

My Darling…
How you have touched me is beyond my ability to realistically explain. I thought the days when a woman like you might want and need me were past. Then you showed up and awakened my heart and soul. I feel so alive.

Misty Rains Coming Softly

Love…
……overflows and pours out from me. My happiness is evident to anyone. I am profoundly and completely in love. After our years together, what I feel for you grows deeper and richer with each passing day.

be

rains,
coming

flooding

river.

Calm and Peaceful Adoration

Love…
…expressed in the simple touch of a hand; eyes connecting with mutual smiles soon after; a well of enjoyable conversation that seems to have no bottom. Affection, friendship and respect stirred together in a recipe of calm and peaceful adoration.

American educator, minister, author, and TV host Fred Rogers
comforting youLove isn’t a
state of perfect caring.
It is an active noun,
like struggle.
To love someone
is to strive
to accept
that person
exactly the way
he or she is,
right here and now.

Ripple Through Time

Love…
…echoes forward through generations. Though my time was long ago, I wrote down what was in my heart and left it behind. My words ripple through time to others who will understand my love for you.

Written by Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning May 6, 1846
I have been drawn back into life
by your means and for you…
and I think of you with
an unspeakable gratitude always!
No other could have done this for me –
it was not possible,
except by you.
Wholly
and ever
yours I am.

A Single Shadow

Love…
…is more than one plus one equals two. When love is true and real, two together are amplified far beyond what they would otherwise be separated.

Canadian poet, novelist and journalist Doug Fetherling
Your absence
has not taught
me to be alone,
it merely
has shown
that when
together
we cast a
single shadow
on the wall.

Kind and Understanding Way

Love…
…is in its highest form when passion simmers down and loving kindness takes the lead. Until lovers become a friends what is shared is fragile like glass and easily broken.

American composer, performer and filmmaker Meredith Monk
That inner voice
has both gentleness
and clarity.
So to get to authenticity,
you really keep going
down to the bone,
to the honesty,
and the inevitability
of something.

Manna for the Soul

Love…
…is life’s greatest gift. It lightens our load. It enlivens our emotions. It sweetens our days. It lifts us higher. It makes living more than just survival. Love is manna for the soul.

From “Your Song” by Ella Kay
You have filled my heart
with your laughter
and my life with your love.
Its notes are
compassion,
strength,
and patience
Its melody…
your smile.
