Like an Hourglass

I love…
…waking up in the morning and getting an email or text from you before I get around to sending you one. My mornings are always better when you put some of yourself at the threshold of my new day.

Quote from French author Jules Renard
Love is
like an
hourglass,
with the heart
filling up
as the
brain
empties.

Like A Butterfly

I love…
…that you care enough to give me space to work through things on my own the way I need to. That you are understanding and wise enough to give me room to think brings loving gratitude into my heart.

Credited to both Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne
Happiness
is like a butterfly:
the more
you chase it,
the more
it will elude you,
but if you
turn your attention
to other things,
it will come
and sit softly
on your shoulder.

Seeing an Imperfect Person Perfectly

I love…
…how thoughtful you are and openly show you care about others.  I am glad you are learning to treat yourself the same way.

American Philosopher Sam Keen
Love isn’t
finding
a perfect person.
It’s seeing
an imperfect
person
perfectly.

Somewhere There’s Someone

I love…
…how you are able to give me space and yet never be far away.  It is a comforting balance I cherish. 
 
Author  Unknown
Somewhere there’s someone
Who dreams of your smile,
And finds in your presence
That life is worth while.
So when you are lonely,
Remember it’s true
Somebody, somewhere
Is thinking of you.

Between the Shores of Your Souls

I love…
…how you are considerate of small things. When at my place you use a different spoon to stir your coffee to avoid the taste of your hazelnut creamer getting in my cup. 
 
From “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran
Let there be space
in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens
dance between you.
Love one another,
but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your souls.

People Will Never Forget

I love…
…your understanding that I need room sometimes to deal with my issues on my own.  Giving me that space is an act of great caring.  Thank you!

Thought by Maya Angelou
I’ve learned
That people will forget
What you said,
People will forget
What you did,
But people will never forget
How you made them feel.
 

Because of You

I love…
…how considerate you were of me when you got a cold.  You went far out of your way to keep me from catching it from you.  Thank you Sweetie!
 
“Because of You” by Kenneth Velmar
If I can just make
Everything fall
Where it should be,
I would.
If I could make life
Better for you,
I would.
But I can’t.
All I can do
Is to let you know
That mine has been better
Because of you.

A Way with Words

I love…
…the sweet emails, notes and cards you write to me.  You have a way with words that speaks strongly to my heart.
 
From “My Angel” by Sarah
Please
Stay with me
Forever.
Take my hand
And let’s be together.
Lets fly
Up to the heavens above
And show everyone
We are in love.

Knowing That Nothing

I love…
…how you linger when we embrace and kiss.  The way you hesitate and never seem to want to part makes me feel loved, needed and desired. Thank you.
 
From “My Vow To You” by Earl J. Dawson Jr.
When you are sad,
I will dry your tears.
When you are scared,
I will comfort your fears.
When you need love,
My heart I will share.
When you are sick,
For you I will care.
You will feel my love
When we are apart,
Knowing that nothing
Will change my heart.
