Love is Growing

“What! You too?”

Love…
…is best when it’s mellowed to be deeper than a relationship’s start when selfish need often dominates. When over time trust, compassion and mutual understanding come together to form a foundation something truly special arrives; a true, honest and loving friendship.

Irish novelist and poet C. S. Lewis
Friendship
is born
at that moment
when one person
says to another:
“What!
You too?
I thought
I was
the only one.”

Tomorrow is a New Day

I love…
…watching you learn new things and become more of what you always wanted to be. Your growth gives added meaning to the phrase “the best is yet to come”.

Saying by American author Henry Van Dyke
Time is too slow
for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.

How You Hold On

I love…
…talking with you. We rarely run out of conversation. There is always something more to share our thoughts and feelings about. Love not only opens hearts; it opens minds too!

Original Author Unknown and Anonymous
Love is not how you forget
but how you forgive.
Not how you listen
but how you understand.
Not what you see
but what you feel
And not how you let go
but how you hold on.

What We’ve Been Missing

I love…
…when we hug and you are so close against me I can feel your heart beating against my chest.
 
Writer Unknown
It’s true
that we don’t know
what we’ve got
until
we lose it,
but it’s also true
that we don’t know
what we’ve been missing
until
it arrives.

From the Inside Out

I love…
…how open we are with each other.  This experience of falling in love with someone I already knew a lot about is very different and rewarding.  Getting to know you from the inside out is a whole new way of being for me.

Incredibly Connected

I love…
…the way you hold me tightly against you for a long time when we hug. It makes me feel incredibly connected to you.

“Are You” by Marie C. Stopes
Are you the body of Love,
The incarnate dream?
Have you hot power in your limbs
Swift fire in your veins
To tighten the chords in my heart,
To my quiver the reins?

More Today Than Ever

I remember…
…how sometimes you ‘d rub my neck and run your fingers through my hair when we were sitting side by side.

Duff Cooper to Lady Diana Manners August 20, 1918
Darling, my darling.  One line in haste to tell you that I love you more today than ever in my life before, that I never see beauty without thinking of you or seeing happiness without thinking of you. You have fulfilled all my ambition, realized all my hopes, made all my dreams come true.

My Heart Flown Open

I remember….
…sharing a Coke and popcorn at the movie theatre and then holding hands while we watched the movie.

From “A Year From Wednesday© by James Browning
 …My heart had been slowly closing to the world for over a decade and I thought had been slammed shut and locked tight for the rest of time.  Then out  of nowhere you appeared and without even trying the doors of my heart have flown open.  Be kind dear one as now I can be hurt so easily while this exposed and open to you…
