I love…
…the way we linger when we’re saying goodbye when one of us has to be away for a few days. Neither is in a big hurry to leave and the last kiss happens at least two or three times before we separate.
“I’ll Be Waiting” – Author Unknown
Look
out
to
the
horizon,
A whole world lies beyond.
The path of life shall guide you
And move you swiftly on.
There’s new things to discover
And unseen sights to see
But always I’ll be waiting
For when you return to me.
I love…
…that your survivor instinct is so strong. Otherwise addiction could have taken you or one of the wrong men you chose might have damaged you beyond recovery.
From “I Want to Laugh, I Want to Cry” by Susan Polis Schutz
It’s night time
cold and dark
but the moon
warms my heart
with the thought
that we will
be together again soon.
I love…
…that we are sharing this part of our lives with each other. Only after many years of living were we ready to find and appreciate each other. Everything we have known, experienced and endured was in readiness for us to share what we are experiencing together now.
Beautiful thought by a writer unknown
There is nothing
more beautiful
than a person
whose heart
has been
torn apart,
but still
believes in
the beauty of love.
I love…
…the glint in your eye when we first make eye contact and the little smile that follows soon after. There is no better way I know of to be greeted by someone you love.
“Enchanted Dream” by Claudia Watenpuhl
I soared upon the starry skies.
I sang of angels lullabies.
I saw the light of silver dreams,
And waded deep in diamond streams.
I heard the laughter of children’s play
And danced upon the sunlit rays.
I heard the echo of silver chimes
As destiny and love intertwined.
I touched an angels ivory wing
And listened to their chorus sing.
I held a dove within my hand
And laid upon the ruby sand.
I dreamed a dream of endless time
Where golden moons forever shine.
I breathed within loves purity
The day you gave your heart to me.
I love…
…that my heart has discovered it can feel again. Through you I have come again to know love in full and broad dimensions instead of the narrow daydream my heart grasped to hold on to for such a long time.
From the poem “My Friend, My Love” by K. Brook
The lines of age
will etch
their mark on us
and time
will take
the strength
from our bodies.
But love’s brush
will paint for us
a picture of such beauty,
That a hundred lifetimes
could not remove their glory.
I love…
…feeling you in my heart. In that space was nothing for a long time; just barren emptiness. It is good to feel hope there again.
American journalist and author Mignon McLaughlin
Love
unlocks
doors
and
opens
windows
that
weren’t
even
there
before.
I love…
…that you remind me of things I have mentioned wanting to do. Once again today you caused me remember something important that otherwise would have slipped my memory.
Roman philosopher, statesman, and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero
If a man
could mount
to heaven
and survey
the mighty universe,
his admiration
of its beauties
would be
much diminished
unless he had someone
to share in his pleasure.
I love…
…the many little things that endear you to me: the way you linger in a hug; the sensation of your hand in mine; the feeling of your slender back when I hold you; the way your eyes dance like a child when you laugh and how you enjoy the attentions of an old-fashioned chivalrous man like me.
Philosopher of ancient China, Lao Tzu
Being
deeply
loved by
someone
gives you
strength;
loving
someone
deeply
gives you
courage.
I love…
…the feeling about you that is inside me. I though such emotion would never come again and am grateful my thinking has been proven wrong.
From “I Thought I Must Give Up On Life” By Nicholas Gordon
I thought I must give up on life
And turn into a stone;
The desert wind quite suited me:
No heart, no mind–just bone.
I laughed at people still in love
Who trusted someone’s word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.
I lay alone and wonder-struck,
Sleepless in my bed,
Still numb, still dumb…ice cold,
Not knowing I was dead.
And then you came and shone upon
My meadow full of snow,
And saw the flowers only love
Could recognize and grow.
I love…
…how you bring me coffee or a snack when I am working at home. I am deeply grateful for your understanding, thoughtfulness and encouragement.
Writer Unknown
If I could give you
One thing in life,
I would give you
The ability to see
Yourself
As others see you.
Only then
Would you realize
How special you are.
