Love…
…felt for someone in the past never completely fades away. It may be injured, hidden, ignored, diminished or locked away but it never completely dies as long as one breathes.
English novelist, short story writer E.M. Forster
It isn’t possible
to love and part.
You will wish
that it was.
You can
transmute love,
ignore it, muddle it,
but you can never
pull it out of you.
I know by experience
that the poets are right:
love is eternal.
Love…
…is not blind; love sees. It sees clearly the weak points and the faults of the other, but loves just the same. One does not love another’s faults. We love past them.
French novelist and playwright Henri De Montherlant
We
like
someone
“because”.
We
love
someone
“although”.
Love…
…is more than hugs, kisses, desire and physical intimacy. At their best those things are only symptoms of what is in the heart. There are a thousand ways to express the feeling, but only one kind of love.
By American writer Thomas Lanier “Tennessee” Williams III
The joining
of spirits,
even momentarily,
is rare.
The joining
of bodies
is so much easier
and so much
less intimate.
Love…
…can make ordinary things seem extraordinary: a ride in the first cool air near fall; a meal with conversation; browsing at a bookstore and buying nothing. The common transforms into delight when filtered through a loving heart.
British novelist and scriptwriter Elinor Glyn
Romance
is the
glamour
which turns
the dust
of everyday
life into
a golden
haze.
Love…
…without feeling anxious or afraid of its outcome is new for me. Always before I expected loving to take me somewhere else and transform my life. Imagine my surprise at staying in the same place with the same life and being happily in love with you.
From “Love” by modern-day poet Gianella Ramirez
Love
is the laughter
that you and I share…
Love
is the small things
that show how we care…
Love
is the language
that our hearts express…
Love
is the feeling
of true happiness…
I love…
…that you are a take-charge type of person who does not shrink away from responsibility, even when bearing it is difficult. Your family is lucky to have you. So am I!
An old proverb said to have Greek origins
A
heart
that
loves
is
always
young.
Love…
… multiples joy. When something really good happens to me it feels incomplete until I get to share it with you.
American Poet J. Russell Morrison
There is nothing
more wonderful
in the world
than the feeling
you get from sharing,
and there is no
greater happiness
than the warmth
you get from loving.
Love…
remembered… The longer ago the heart opened to a past chapter of affection, the sweeter it is held within. Well I remember the first little teenage fire in my heart. The gentle flame of then lives in my heart alongside my love for you now.
From “The Sea-Lands by Orrick Johns
My first love
was a fair girl
With ways
forever new;
And hair
a sunlight
yellow
And eyes
a morning
blue.
Love…
…is a mystery the greatest detective has never solved; the smartest scientist has never deciphered; the wisest fortune-teller has never predicted; the most gifted sage has never explained. Yet, they all loved much the same as I love you.
Jamaican singer, songwriter and musician Robert Nesta “Bob” Marley
You may not be her first,
her last, or her only.
She loved before
she may love again.
But if she loves you now,
what else matters?
So don’t hurt her, don’t change her,
don’t analyze and don’t expect more
than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she’s not there.
Love…
…radiates from the heart to captivate, enrapture and enchant till one becomes hypnotized by attraction. Then almost without thought one is pushed and pulled to the subject of affection.
English poet and playwright Robert Browning
Take
away
love
and
our
earth
is a
tomb.
