I Can Do That

My Darling,
Like a thief, silent in the night, you broke me open and stole my heart. My sentence is to love you kindly, tenderly and passionately with understanding and honesty. I can do that.

From the song “Love You Like Crazy” by Mysteryman
m7UzsH5D27Vlim1CdeSjykQIt’s no small thing that I feel,
It’s true and deep and real.
So easy it was for you to steal
My heart; This is the real deal.
I love you like crazy,
I’m so high on you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m mad about you.
I love you like crazy,
I’m alive with you.

Most of All

My Sweet…
In a moment I was changed and can never be the same again. Now I know you really exist; the one who made my heart jump the first time I saw her. I’m excited. I’m scared. I’m thrilled. I’m afraid. But most of all I am grateful.

From “Carrier of the Mark” by South African writer Leigh Fallon

to sound crazy,
but…
from
the moment
I first
set eyes
on you
I haven’t
been able
to stop
thinking
about you.

Who Are You?

My Darling…
Day by day I come to know you better. Don’t be afraid. Don’t hesitate. Trust me. All you have to do to let me fall deeper for you is unveil all you kept hidden from the others.

From song “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” by Lee/Wiggins
823Who are you
when I’m not
around?
When the door
is locked
and the shades
are down?
Do you listen
to your music
quietly?
And when it feels
just right,
are you
thinkin’ of me?

She’ll Find You

My Love…
You’re the woman I dreamed of but doubted actually existed. Now you’re here and we’ve fallen deeply in love. I could have settled for less, but my heart kept saying, “Don’t! She’ll find you. Give her time”. I’m glad I listened.

From the song “I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden

I loved you
before
I met you;
I think
I dreamed
you into life.
I knew
I loved you
before I
met you;
I have
been
waiting
all my life.

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.

From “Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic” by Esther Perel

both security
and adventure,
and commitment

of the great
luxuries of life:
time.
Marriage is not
the end
of romance,
it is the beginning.

Beyond Mine to Give

My Love…
Was it chance that brought us together, or divine intervention? Were we preordained to meet? Was our fate written in destiny’s book? Such answers are beyond me, but I know I love you with my whole being.

love
is

all

way
to
find
it.

Love Simply “Is”

Love…
…answers no questions. Love simply “is”. It would not exist between us if we had not taken the time to know each other to the bone. In each discovery of one another there existed the possibility of feast or famine.

From “The Genius and the Goddess” by English writer Aldous Huxley
12_portrait_of_indian_coupleWhy do
you love
the woman
you’re in
love with?
Because she is.
And that,
after all,
is God’s own
definition
of Himself;
I am that I am.
The girl is
who she is.

Sweet Collision of Destinies

Love…
…gives me hope. I know the one my heart will find peace with is out there; maybe a stranger or someone I already know. Some way, some how, some day, some where, you and I will be together.

From “Love, Stargirl” by American novelist Jerry Spinelli
2256066 EditYou be you
and I’ll be me…
and let’s trust
the future
to tomorrow.
Let the stars
keep track of us.
Let us ride
our own orbits
and trust that
they will meet.
May our reunion
be not a finding
but a sweet
collision
of destinies!

Sought After and Rare

Love…
…needs two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned in kind. Unrequited love is the all too common state that makes true love so sought after and rare.

American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)
110413_t1aTrue love
is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another
refuse to drink.
It happens
only when
the souls
of two join
together
to form
one.

My Heart Became Tuned

Love…
… teaches difficult lessons. Had love only found me once before, I would not have been adequately taught how to love you to the best of my ability. It was in loving and losing, in trial and failure that my heart became tuned to love you at its best.
