Love…
…makes everyone a daydreamer either about the love he or she has found or hopes for. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. Loving and being loved is the most sought after prize on Earth.
Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho
Tell your
heart that
the fear
of suffering
is worse
than the
suffering itself.
And no
heart has
ever suffered
when it
goes in
search of
its dream.
Love…
…lasted long enough. Our first chance was long ago when we were too young and immature to successfully make a life together. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine we’d get a second chance. Oh, my love, it’s here!
From “The Book of Happy Endings…” by Elise Valmorbida
Old love, I thought I’d never see the time
because of all we’ve done and often said
when I’d be yours, my dear, and you’d be mine.
And what relief to soften, and resign
the battle of the heart over the head.
old love, I thought I’d never see the time
When qualms and cold feet that could undermine
all we’ve held out for, dissipate instead
now that I’m yours, my dear and you are mine.
I’m still amazed how our two lives align
the two of us! A pair! Take it as read,
old love, I thought I’d never see the time
The tangle of our jumpers in the line,
the battle for the blankets in our bed
confirm that I am yours, and you are mine.
So then, this is my pledge, my valentine:
my hand’s in yours for all that lies ahead.
Oh love, there’s never been a better time
now that I’m yours, and finally, you’re mine.
Love…
…is never more beautiful that at the marriage ceremony of two happy and compatible people deeply in love. It is the beginning of the “forever” both are risking their dreams for.
Madame De Favras to De Favras January 14, 1790
My heart
is intoxicated
with its love
for you.
Never has
anyone loved
as I love you;
and I repeat to you,
with rapture,
that I will devote
each moment
of my life
to prove
my affection.
Love…
…. is always good, no matter how much we may end up hurt by it. From each heartbreak, large and small, come the lessons for the heart. Often we learn what we should have done from doing what we should not have done.
Blogger and spiritual seeker James Browning
All the others were
to make me ready for you.
I had to learn
what did not make me happy.
I had to learn
how I made them unhappy.
One by one
they came and went,
teaching me
how to recognize you
when you come into my life.
I’m waiting…
Love…
…perceived as only a smooth path is make-believe. It is overcoming the “downs” of loving that make the “ups” more and more lofty with time. Love that survives long-term is brightly polished by adversities overcome.
From “Letters to a Young Poet” by Austrian writer Ranier Maria Rilke
…only someone who
is ready for everything,
who doesn’t exclude
any experience,
even the most
incomprehensible,
will live the relationship
with another person
as something alive
and will himself sound
the depths of his own being.
Love…
…is the longest four letter word in the English language. To understand, one need only consider the eternity it takes before a response after telling someone for the first time that you love him or her.
Canadian author and speech pathologist Vesna Bailey
…you are
my rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never will
I lose
sight of
you.
Love…
…is crazy because I don’t even know when you became so important to me. It’s like watching a snowstorm. You see the flakes falling, but you don’t realize how they’re adding up. Then suddenly, your whole lawn is covered. All these little things have added up, and you’re my snowstorm.
From “The Greatest Love Story…” by British author Lucy Robinson
I want you
to be with
someone
who really,
really
loves you.
A wild love!
A crazy love!
I want yours
to be the
greatest
love story
of all time!
Love…
…is like snow falling with no control except from the speed it falls with. Drifting to come to rest on a specific spot unknown until it lands, love like a snowflake finds a home.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Things that fall:
petals
teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
tides
eyelids
time
shadows
leaves
the sun
and me,
for you.
Love…
…can arrive with a force so full it almost knocks one off their feet. The feeling is one of awe, wonder and even fear about what is happening while knowing at the same time it is wonderful and good.
From “On the Grounds of Love’s Arrival by ‘Rex’
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
you’ve inspired me to sing.
I’m in tune to all the blessings,
through the comforts that you bring.
Now to welcome nature’s colors,
shining free within the light.
Morning skies above the setting,
glowing elegant, and bright.
On the grounds of love’s arrival,
I’m so moved by what I find.
Through the ways of clear reflections,
songs of hope to be refined.
Well complete within each moment,
’cause our love’s a timeless dance.
Through your graceful, soft affections,
heartfelt soul you so enhance.
Love…
…is like a firefly blinking, giving its light and leading you toward it. If you’re lucky you can catch it. If you are very lucky you won’t have to. Love will come land on you.
Little is known about the writer, Timothy Oliveira
There are two kinds of sparks,
the one that goes off
with a hitch like a match,
but it burns quickly.
The other is the kind
that needs time,
but when
the flame strikes…
it’s eternal,
don’t forget that.
