Lasting love

‘The One’

My Darling…
I hope me often expressing how I feel does not lessen the words. When I say “I love you”, my heart happily overflows, my eyes twinkle with joy and my soul feels the peace of knowing I am where I should be. You’re ‘the one’ for me.

lovers-hd-wallpaperRomantic writer and poet Yarne Gaskins
Every time I say I love you…
I’m really trying to say so much more than those three little words.
I’m trying to say you mean more to me than anyone else in the world.
I’m trying to let you know that I adore you
and that I cherish the time we spend together.
I’m trying to explain that I want you and that I need you
and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts every time I think about you.
And each time I whisper I love you,
I’m trying to remind you that
you’re the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Home Is No Longer A Place

My Love…
Home has become wherever you are. From my heart and all through my body and soul knowing this has become my absolute truth. Home is no longer a place but a feeling that I know only with you by my side.

Lion_Love_by_kijani_lionFrom the song “Home Is Where You’re Happy” by Willie Nelson
Home is where you’re happy
and I’m happy here with you,
Or any place on earth
that you may be.
Home is where you’re happy,
just any house will do,
And I’ll feel at home
as long as you’re with me.

I Will Be There

Sweetie…
I’m proud of us. We’re building something lasting with openness and truth that is fresh and new to me. Through the good and the difficult, I will be there loving you…

From “The Lure of the Moon” by Nicole Gulla
love1I always want us
to be like this,
connected,
sharing everything
with each other.
Not holding
anything back,
no matter
how the other
person may feel.
You have my word
from this point
forward.
No matter what.

Your Forever

Each day my belief in us gets stronger. I imagine in ten years, twenty years and more the first thing I will see each morning is your face and the last thing I feel each night will be you against me. I want to be your ‘forever’.

When you
find love,
When you
find the place,
You’re
meant to be.
When you
find the one
You can give
your whole
heart to,
And for me
This is you,
This is love.

Wonderfully True

My Love…
From the beginning I knew what we shared was special. I hoped with all my heart we would grow together and our relationship would be lasting. The years have passed quickly while my hope became wonderfully true.

Love Shapes Our World

My Love…
We’ve enjoyed happy days and gotten through unhappy ones. Each good time builds more sky above for our hopes to soar in. Each difficulty makes the earth firmer to hold us up when we struggle. Our love shapes our world.

Fresh to My Lips

My Love…
I remember how kissing you for the first time felt. I put my arms around you and we were a perfect fit. I did not want to let go. Today your kiss still feels as fresh to my lips and letting you out of my arms has never become easy.

On Second Thought

My Darling…
Can it really be decades since we met? At first thought it can’t have been more than ten or twelve years ago. On second thought it feels like we’ve always been together. My life is many times better because you are in it.

Be With Me Always…

My Love…
We breathe the same air and inhabit the same space. It has been you and me together for so long I can not remember life any other way, nor do I want to.

From “Wuthering Heights” by novelist and poet Emily Brontë

Drive me mad!
Only do not

in this abyss,

find you!
Oh, God!
It is unutterable!
I can not live
without my life!
I can not live
without my soul!

The Beginning

My Love…
Through our ups that never seemed to last long enough and our downs that always lasted too long, I have loved you in a unordinary way. There is nothing common about my feelings for you.
