Love…
…makes it plain that even though we are hundreds of miles apart, our hearts are in the same place: mine with you and yours with me.
Saying from an unknown source
Distance…
It’s just
a test
of how
far love
can travel.
Power of Love
No Greater Happiness
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.
Sole Sovereign of a Heart
Love…
…knows no master. It is the sole sovereign of a heart. Willingly one becomes its captive and gladly serves its needs. No bondage is more sought after. No chains are more happily received.
Taken from a poem by an author unknown
The chains
of a heart
do solely bind
each other’s souls
for all of time.
The chains
are strong
and will
never break;
my hand,
my heart,
my soul
to take.
Sweet Flame of Then
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.
Just the Same
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.
Loving the Distance
Love…
…is patient and tolerant. It allows one to give the other person time and space to work through things alone. Standing by while ready to offer support and help at any moment is one of the greatest illustrations of love (you have proven it to me).
By German poet Rainer Maria Rilke
Once the realization
is accepted
that even between
the closest human beings
infinite distances continue,
a wonderful living side by side
can grow, if they succeed
in loving the distance
between them
which makes it possible
for each to see the other
whole against the sky.
Stuff of Dreams
Love…
…fills the soul with hope; the heart with possibility; the spirit with faith; and the mind with optimism. It is the stuff dreams can be made of.
From “Love Is the Stuff that Dreams Are Made of” by Caroline Blosser
Love
is not a sentence
or a paragraph.
It’s more like
a cello…
in a single note
resoundingly sings
all the truths
of this strange existence.
Manna for the Soul
Love…
…is life’s greatest gift. It lightens our load. It enlivens our emotions. It sweetens our days. It lifts us higher. It makes living more than just survival. Love is manna for the soul.
From “Your Song” by Ella Kay
You have filled my heart
with your laughter
and my life with your love.
Its notes are
compassion,
strength,
and patience
Its melody…
your smile.
Motivating Forces
Love…
…maintains it strength whether you are inches away or thousands of miles in the distance. There is a great comfort beyond explanation in loving and being loved.
British musician and philosopher John Lennon
There are two
basic motivating forces:
fear and love.
When we are afraid,
we pull back from life.
When we are in love,
we open to all
that life has to offer
with passion, excitement,
and acceptance.
Where Ever I Go
Love…
…is portable and my feelings for you go where ever I go. All I have to do is close my eyes and think of you, then I am where you are.
American Writer Richard David Bach
If
you
want
to
be
with
someone
you
love,
aren’t
you
already
there?
