I thought I had lost you forever. It was my fault you turned your back on me; deservedly so. But now that you have found me my world is unexpectedly filled with new possibility. Undeserving as I am, my spirit soars with gratitude.
From “Dear John” by American novelist and screenwriter, Nicholas Sparks
In our
time
together,
you claimed
a special
place in
my heart,
one
I’ll carry
with me
forever
and that
no one
can
ever replace.
I am connected to you and always will be. We drift apart and come back together, each time a little closer. So many differences and yet so much love. And so we keep trying for each other, even in those times we part.
American photographer, song writer and author Dominic Riccitello
Looking
back
and
wondering
if it
could
have
worked
eventually
hurts
more
than trying
and failing.
It’s in the difficult times I know I love you most. Never is there a thought of moving away from you. My mind feels the same as my heart: love for you in a thousand ways.
Third century Persian Sufi poet, scholar and theologian, Rumi
The minute
I heard
my first
love story,
I started
looking for you,
not knowing
how blind
that was.
Lovers don’t
finally meet
somewhere.
They’re in each
other all along.
Through challenge, adversity and trouble, love either becomes more durable or weakens. It is a sure sign of true love that when tested it becomes a stronger. The heart grows through its scars to be more capable of loving.
Philippino writer and author Laarni Venus Marie Giango
I’d rather walk
through the
burning coals
of hell than
enjoy comfort
and luxury
with someone else.
For life
without you,
is not life.
at all.
When I allow myself to only feel without thought, it is as if I have always known you. Through different lifetimes I have carried this love in my heart to the present. Now is a good time. I have found you, again.
By American Fantasy Writer and Novelist Daniel C Nielsen
An awakened man can
touch the heart of the woman
he loves without touching
her, just by opening his soul
and whispering her name.
And even then, it’s not the words.
The heart can convey expressions
of love without anything
being said. There is a
silent language that two people
in love understand, and neither
time nor distance is a barrier.
When their souls meet,
their senses are heightened,
energy flows, and a deep intimacy
is formed, as if the two have
known each other from eternity past.
That’s the power of the soul
and love at work.
Through the ups and downs we have become closer as our love has matured and deepened. It’s amazing how the doubts are gone and have been replaced by an uncontested knowing deep within.
From “I Love You Too” by Amit Kalantri
I think
of you
only
twice
a day –
when
I am
alone
and when
I am
with
someone
else.
Love always remains. The frailties of being human or the realties of life may separate people for a time or for all time, but if love was present between the two it never departs. LOVE always is.
Lyrics from the tune “Lovesong” by The Cure
However
far away,
I will always
love you.
However
long I stay,
I will always
love you.
Whatever
words I say,
I will always
love you.
I will always
love you.
My Darling…
Through good times and not; through all the sweetness and what comes that’s bitter; through every sunny and rainy day, through agreement and difference, through health and sickness… I will love you and keep my place by your side. Always.
“Through It All” by Wayne Visser
Worlds may collide –
The sky turn to black
Mountains may crumble
The earth shake beneath your feet
Rivers may dry up
The oceans lash out with tidal waves –
And through it all
I will stand beside you.
Others may desert you –
Fair weather friends and fickle family
They may walk away
Turn their backs and harden their hearts
They may change their minds
Break their promises and leave –
But through it all
I will be beside you.
Storms may come –
The seasons turn to winter
Rain may fall
The sunshine blotted out to grey
Drought may strike
The soil left parched and cracked –
Yet through it all
I will stay beside you.
People may talk –
Wag their poison tongues and frown
They may whisper
Spread their rumours like a plague
They may sow their lies
Tut-tut and shake their disapproving heads –
Still through it all
I will be beside you.
We may be apart –
Separated by borders and time zones
Oceans may divide us
Whole continents stand in our way
Walls of belief may rise up
Demarcating your world and mine –
And through it all
I will appear beside you.
Sickness may visit –
Weaken your will to rise and shine
Time may grow heavy
Drag down your body and fray your mind
Doubts may linger
Gnawing at our love like a cancer –
But through it all
I will remain beside you.
Through all of this and more –
Through shining days and unexpected adventures
Through vivid nights and breath-taking summits
Through blissful moments and beauty discovered
Through passion flights and laughter spilled together –
I will be beside you
Because side by side, for now and always
Is where we belong.

My Love…
There is no controlling it; no denying it; no running from it. My heart beats in my chest, but is no longer mine. You are the mysterious thief who stole what I willingly gave.
From the song “Bleeding Out” by Wynter Gordon
… please
don’t
set me
free
‘Cause
the only
thing
I’m afraid
of is
you not
loving me…
Sweetheart…
In our most difficult moments, I never doubt what I feel for you. It never wavers or becomes weak. Always and forever, through whatever comes, I will love you.
Mumbai-based poet and freelance write Sanober Khan
In
a
world
full
of
temporary
things
you
are
a
perpetual
feeling.
