Love…
…looks past most imperfection and focuses away from fault. The mind does the opposite. So, I don’t think about you much and choose instead to just feel you in my heart. There you are near perfect.
French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo
The greatest
happiness
of life
is the
conviction
that we
are loved,
loved for
ourselves,
or rather
loved
in spite
of ourselves.
Love…
…stirs as no other force can. It is as if the heart was first created for loving and for moving blood through the body afterward.
Little is known about the author, Robert Tizon
I would rather
have eyes that
cannot see;
ears that
cannot hear;
lips that
cannot speak,
than a heart
that cannot love.
Love…
…forms a sort of single-mindedness within its bearer. All though the day’s waking hours and dreams in the night, one’s beloved becomes the single most thought about, most wished and most dearly held contemplation.
Canadian poet, novelist and environmental activist Margaret Atwood
I would
like to be
the air
that inhabits
you for a
moment
only.
I would
like to be
that unnoticed
and that
necessary.
Love…
…arrives like spring after a cold winter. It brings hope where there was emptiness. The ground breaks sprouting new growth that was lying in wait for love’s warmth so it could burst open with color.
From “Little Men” by American novelist Louisa May Alcott
Love is a flower
that grows
in any soil,
works its
sweet miracles
undaunted by
autumn frost
or winter snow,
blooming fair
and fragrant
all the year,
and blessing
those who give
and those
who receive.
Love…
…has me dreaming about you. Most every night there are moments I share with you while sleep has its grip on me. Some feel very real. I suspect you are dreaming the same thing at the same time I am.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
If the
only place
where I
could see
you was
in my
dreams,
I’d
sleep
forever.
Love…
…enriches the soul and powers the heart with a stronger beat. From top to bottom, it hollows out a person to make room for itself. Whether high or low, love brings a depth of feeling known no other way.
American Teacher, Writer and Recovery Leader Karen Casey
Truly loving
another means
letting go
of all
expectations.
It means
full
acceptance,
even
celebration
of another’s
personhood.
Love…
…is assembled from every experience a person has ever known bundled up into one way of perception. Had a life not been as it was before one falls in love, chances are that love would not have happened.
Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
I feel like
everything
in my life
has led me
to you.
My choices,
my heartbreaks,
my regrets.
Everything.
And when
we’re together,
my past seems
worth it.
Because if
I had done
one thing
differently,
I might never
have met you.
Love…
…that is given time, heals. Our days apart brought a clear knowing of how much you mean to me. Alone in the quiet within myself, I listened to my heart and it whispered loudly, “you love him still with all that you are”.
Dutch-born Catholic priest and writer Henri Nouwen
Somewhere
we know
that without
silence,
words
lose their
meaning,
that without
listening,
speaking
no longer
heals,
that without
distance,
closeness
cannot
cure.
Love…
…brings one of the greatest certainties a person will ever know. We are rarely convinced of anything in the same way as when true love arrives. Without logic or thought, true love brings a sureness beyond explanation.
Saying by an unknown writer/anonymous
There
are
only
two
times
that
I want
to be
with
you,
now
and
forever.
Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.
From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
With all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.
