Love Will Paint the Surroundings

Let’s go somewhere beautiful where we can sit together and soak up what we see, hear and feel. It doesn’t matter where because as long we’re together; where we are will be beautiful. Love will paint the surroundings into a beautiful memory.

14th century Persian mystic and poet Hāfez

You Only

All is well, but I miss you with an aching hunger to be near you. Only you can sate my yearning; only you my love. All the sweeter the time will be when next I hold you again.

Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer Kahlil Gibran

More Lasting

Sweetheart…
Saying I love you sounds too simple. Saying you mean the world to me doesn’t say enough. There is no definition that could truly describe this love.

From “A Year From Wednesday” by James Browning
white treeOur Love is
bigger than
four letters;
Far more
beautiful than
it appears.
Deeper than
can ever
be imagined.
Higher than
possible to
comprehend.
Wider than
a distance
can be measured.
And more lasting
than our lives.

True Love

Darling…
This love is too mature to be only limerence, yet contains every associated symptom. It is too old to be only heat, yet burns constant, bright and warming like the morning sun. It is too lasting to be only light, yet all paths forward are obscured by its brightness. This love simply is and will be.

From “The Truth About Forever” by Sarah Dessen
mothThere is
never a time
or place
for true love.
It happens
accidentally,
in a heartbeat,
in a single
flashing,
throbbing
moment.

Magic In Your Eyes

Sweet One…
Could you be her; “the one” for the rest of my life? Why do I feel this strong pull toward someone I barely know? I am enticed by simply the possibility. Just looking at your photo I find magic in your smile and adventure in your eyes.

From the book “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert
mystery-woman 01Happiness is the consequence
of personal effort.
You fight for it,
strive for it,
insist upon it,
and sometimes even travel
around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly
in the manifestations
of your own blessings.
And once you have achieved
a state of happiness, you must never
become lax about maintaining it.
You must make a mighty effort
to keep swimming upward
into that happiness forever,
to stay afloat on top of it.”

Your Smile Radiates

Sweet One…
Whenever I am with you, it is like having my emotional batteries recharged with joy. Your smile radiates into me. Your touch sends little shivers through my body. Your presence pleases my mind and your soul pours peace on mine.

From “Safe Haven” by writer and Film Producer Nicholas Sparks

The Best Possible Version

My Love…
With you by my side I feel stronger and more alive. From top to bottom your love makes me want to be the best possible version of my self. My roots grow healthiest tangled with yours.

From the book “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks

I am who I am
because of you.
You are every reason,
every hope,
and every dream
I’ve ever had,
and no matter
what happens to
us in the future,
everyday we are
together is
the greatest day
of my life.
I will always
be yours.

In Your Arms

My Love…
It has been a wonderful day. Now near midnight and time for bed I want to tell you how perfect I believe our love is and how filled my heart is with you.

From “Again the Magic” by writer Lisa Kleypas

sleeping-couple01I want morning
and noon
and nightfall
with you.
I want your
tears, your smiles,
your kisses…
the smell of your hair,
the taste of your skin,
the touch of your breath
on my face.
I want to see you
in the final hour of my life…
to lie in your arms
as I take my last breath.

Even With All the Doubts

My Darling…
I can be yours, always, through the sunny days and the dark ones; times of good health and bad; fun times and troubled ones. Be faithfully mine and I will never give you a reason to doubt my love.

love is

What’s In My Heart

My Darling…
Sometimes the urge comes to shout “I love you” as loud as I can over and over telling the world my feelings. What’s in my heart is so large how can anyone know the size of it unless I express it far beyond what is considered ‘normal’.

“Love Is a Fire that Burns Unseen” by Luís Vaz de Camões
576 LONGA wound
that aches yet isn’t felt,
An always
discontent contentment,
A pain
that rages without hurting,
A longing
for nothing but to long,
A loneliness
in the midst of people,
A never feeling
pleased when pleased,
A passion that gains
when lost in thought.
It’s being enslaved
of your own free will;
it’s counting
your defeat a victory…
