Worth the Risk

My Love…
You have a colorful past and were known to be ‘wild’. It’s taken a while but I believe it when you say you’re past all that. The only way to know for sure is to believe in you and hope for the best. You’re worth the risk.

American novelist, short story writer and painter William S. Burroughs
I-believe-in-youThere is no intensity
of love or feeling
that does not involve
the risk of
crippling hurt.
It is a duty to
take this risk,
to love and feel
without defense
or reserve.

Planning Next Year

My Darling…
Long has it been since I felt happy on Halloween, much less dressed up and laughed with the trick or treaters. My life has changed remarkably for the better since chance brought us together. I am already planning next year.

An Overwhelming Conviction

My Dear…
There is no enchantment grander than what is happening between us. Like the poems, books, movies and songs all say… I am no longer fully myself without you. We’re falling in love. Nothing ever felt this good before.

From ‘Henrietta Temple’ by English aristocrat Benjamin Disraeli
Couple%20Dancing%20At%20Sunset EDIT LONGAmid the gloom
and travail of existence
suddenly to behold
a beautiful being,
and as instantaneously to
feel an overwhelming conviction
that with that fair form for ever
our destiny must be entwined;
that there is no more joy
than in her joy, no sorrow
but when she grieves;
that in her sigh of love,
in her smile of fondness,
hereafter all is bliss;
An immortal flame burns
in the breast of that man
who adores and is adored.

More Completely than I Imagined

My Love…
Falling for you has been a slow fall into joy. I was a contented person when we met, but with you I am learning about life at a whole new level. I’ve thrown caution to the wind and am yours more completely than I imagined possible.

I Can Do That

My Darling,
Like a thief, silent in the night, you broke me open and stole my heart. My sentence is to love you kindly, tenderly and passionately with understanding and honesty. I can do that.

From the song “Love You Like Crazy” by Mysteryman
m7UzsH5D27Vlim1CdeSjykQIt’s no small thing that I feel,
It’s true and deep and real.
So easy it was for you to steal
My heart; This is the real deal.
I love you like crazy,
I’m so high on you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m mad about you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m alive with you.

Like Butter On Toast

My Love…
I know you, but have no first-hand knowledge. I feel you near, but far away. I have held out for a long time always believing in something I can’t explain. As sure as sunrise you’re waiting for me… somewhere.

From “Water for Elephants” by American/Canadian writer Sara Gruen
live-your-dreams-my-dream-is-23986887-1600-1200I want her
to melt
into me,
like butter

I want to
absorb her
and walk
around
for the rest
of my days
with her
encased
in my skin.

Love At First Sight

My Darling…
We just met and this magic feeling may not last. With all my being I hope it does! But if this day is all there is I will always be able to say truthfully I know what love at first sight feels like.

By an anonymous and unknown author
1832_1365436170We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience
makes us feel completely alive.
Where every sense is heightened,
every emotion is magnified,
our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flying into the heavens.
It may only last a moment,
an hour, an afternoon.
But that doesn’t diminish its value.
Because we are left with memories
that we treasure
for the rest of our lives.

Constantly Between Us

My Darling…
The last three days were a test. We were together constantly for the longest time yet and it was all good. Whether we were busy doing something or just hanging out, love was constantly between us.

Spanish Golden Age poet and writer Pedro Calderon de la Barca

love
is
not
madness,

Who Are You?

My Darling…
Day by day I come to know you better. Don’t be afraid. Don’t hesitate. Trust me. All you have to do to let me fall deeper for you is unveil all you kept hidden from the others.

From song “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” by Lee/Wiggins
823Who are you
when I’m not
around?
When the door
is locked
and the shades
are down?
Do you listen
to your music
quietly?
And when it feels
just right,
are you
thinkin’ of me?

Filled With Possibility

My Love…
I go to sleep thinking of when we will be together again. Since you came into my life I live in the moment more than ever and look forward to a brighter future than I dared think of before. My life is filled with possibility.
