Pain of Love

It’s Been Years Now

It’s been years now of this weaving back together and then drifting apart. In time, always difficult to keep going, and always far too difficult to ever completely stop. Sometime love just “IS”.

Written by “Unknown” Who Surely Walks the Path I Walk
St. Valentine's Day weaving heart + AlphaAt some point
you will realize
that you have done
too much for someone,
that the only
next possible step
to do is to stop.
Leave them alone.
Walk away.
It’s not like
you’re giving up,
and it’s not like
you shouldn’t try.
It’s just that you
have to draw the line
of determination
from desperation.
What is truly yours
will eventually be yours,
and what is not,
no matter how hard you try,
will never be.

The Best or Worst

My Darling…
Going through love’s difficult times can shape a relationship to a beautiful reflection or shatter it into pieces that never fit again. Trouble can bring out the best or worst in us. Which one will be decided by our choices and actions.

American poet and author Coco J. Ginger
superstition21LONGI love you,
with no beginning,
no end.
I love you as you
have become
an extra necessary
organ in my body.
I love you as only a girl
could love a boy.
Without fear.
Without expectations.
Wanting nothing in return,
except that you allow me
to keep you here in my heart,
that I may always know
your strength, your eyes,
and your spirit…

Love’s Remedy

My Darling…
Love knows no boundary; cannot be captured; nor can it be cast away. Once embedded, love becomes part of the very fiber that holds a beating heart together. Death only is love’s remedy; its antidote.

Quote by an unknown and anonymous writer
chains around my heartAsk me why
I keep on
loving you
when it’s clear
that you don’t
feel the same way
for me.
The problem is
that as much as
I can’t force you
to love me,
I can’t force
myself to stop
loving you.

Please…

My Love…
Don’t give up. Hang it there. I am in this relationship for keeps. Whatever it takes, I’ll be here. Please forgive my shortcomings and I will let yours fade. Let’s stay in love and be happy. Please…

Credited to various sources, but most often as a Swedish Proverb

that’s
when
I
really

it.

Betting On Our Joy

My Love…
Either we are headed toward the unfolding of a beautifully rich love story or a genuinely horrific tale of heartbreak. The deciding scale is strongly tipped toward your actions and choices. Joy or grief? I’m betting on our joy!

Nights Without You

My Darling…
The days come and go quickly. I wish more of each one was spent with you. Living separate lives is becoming more and more challenging. Spending nights without you is sometimes almost unbearably difficult.

From “Winnie-the-Pooh” by A. A. Milne

You Are Teaching Me

My Darling…
Without my conscious awareness, my heart has been testing you. You have stood by me when I didn’t deserve it. By loving me through my crazy times, you are teaching me what true love is. Thank you Baby.

From a poem by a writer identified only as Amanda Nicole Martinez
Emotional-Scars-300x191editLove me
when I’m happy,
and even when I’m sad.
Love me
when I’m good,
or when I’m oh so bad.
Love me
when I’m pretty,
or if my face is plain.
Love me
when I’m feeling good,
or when I’m feeling pain.

Fade Into the Past

My Love…
Damage can’t be undone and words spoken can not be retracted. However, I believe like wind strengthens the roots of a tree so it can stand strong, we’ll be stronger if we can let the misplaced emotions fade into the past.

Taken from a greeting card by “American Greeting”
Yman-with-rose-at-doorou give
meaning
to my life.
I can not
imagine
living
without
you.
You fill
my heart
with
happiness
and
hope
for a
wonderful
future
together.
You are
the love
of my
life.

Only Sensible Way to Love

Love…
…can be unavoidably insane when the emotion is deep and true. To carry a flame for a person one hasn’t seen in years and years is crazy. But I’d rather be thought an unwise and silly fool than to give up the love in my heart I carry for you.

French playwright, novelist, and screenwriter Françoise Sagan
1252715002mh84sn1I have
loved
to the point
of madness;
that which
is called
madness;
that which
to me,
is the only
sensible way
to love.
