I love…
…that you invite me to do things and don’t always wait for me to ask you. Even when I don’t or can’t do something you’ve invited me to, it always means a lot that you ask.
American writer Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain
To get
the full
value of joy
you must
have someone
to divide
it with.
I love…
…anticipating spending time with you. We usually have a good time together and appreciate each other’s company. I am grateful to have you to do things with. Being alone gets boring!
From Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker known as Marilyn Monroe
It’s often just enough
to be with someone.
I don’t need
to touch them.
Not even talk.
A feeling passes
between you both.
You’re not alone.
I love…
…that your survivor instinct is so strong. Otherwise addiction could have taken you or one of the wrong men you chose might have damaged you beyond recovery.
From “I Want to Laugh, I Want to Cry” by Susan Polis Schutz
It’s night time
cold and dark
but the moon
warms my heart
with the thought
that we will
be together again soon.
I love…
…when I travel you like me to let you know I arrived safely at my destination. To know someone far away cares as you do is a great comfort.
Ebb Tide by Brian Burke
You’re
the gentle breeze
that soothes
my heart
And through
my soul
your ripples pour.
Within
my mind
the storm clouds part
As you ebb upon
my body’s shore.
I love…
…the glint in your eye when we first make eye contact and the little smile that follows soon after. There is no better way I know of to be greeted by someone you love.
“Enchanted Dream” by Claudia Watenpuhl
I soared upon the starry skies.
I sang of angels lullabies.
I saw the light of silver dreams,
And waded deep in diamond streams.
I heard the laughter of children’s play
And danced upon the sunlit rays.
I heard the echo of silver chimes
As destiny and love intertwined.
I touched an angels ivory wing
And listened to their chorus sing.
I held a dove within my hand
And laid upon the ruby sand.
I dreamed a dream of endless time
Where golden moons forever shine.
I breathed within loves purity
The day you gave your heart to me.
I love…
…that you are not afraid to tell me what scares you or makes you sad. I am honored to be the one you confide in and lean on as you work through old pain, mistakes and heartaches.
Original Author Unknown
I trust you,
because saying
I trust you
is more special
than saying
I love you.
You can’t always
trust the person
you love,
but you can
always
love a person
you can trust.
I love…
…that you want to be the best you have ever been and are willing to do the work to make that happen. Don’t be afraid. I am right here with you.
Indian spiritual teacher, poet and artist Sri Chinmoy
Love is not
A thing to understand.
Love is not
A thing to feel.
Love is not
A thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing
Only to become
And eternally be.
I love…
…how proud of me you are. It is humbling to be held in such esteem and makes me want all the more to be the best I can be in all ways.
From “You” by Louis Untermeyer
You are
The secret song of birds,
The thing that words
Can never name;
The fire
Within the flame;
The throb
Within the pulse;
The spirit that exults
Joy no grief can tame.
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.
I love…
…that you are distinctively yourself. You know exactly how you want your coffee and what foods you like and don’t like. Even your clothes are tailored to fit the way you prefer. Knowing how choosy you are makes me feel all the more special that you picked me.
From “Evening Song” by American Musician and Poet Sidney Lanier
Look off, dear Love, across the sallow sands,
And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea,
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands.
Ah! longer, longer, we.
Come forth, sweet stars,
and comfort heaven’s heart;
Glimmer, ye waves, round else unlighted sands.
O night! divorce our sun and sky apart
Never our lips, our hands.
