Love…
…does not flow at a constant speed. It ebbs and flows in an ever-changing pattern. Like water over rock, time allows love to carve a channel into the heart as you have inscribed mine.
American author, poet and activist Alice Walker
I have learned
not to worry
about love;
But to honor
its coming
with all my heart.
Love…
…means I wish the best for you: the happiness you deserve, the contentment you desire, the peace you need and good health to enjoy them in. May what we share grow ever stronger and live long.
Native American chief, author, poet, and actor, Chief Dan George
May the stars
carry your sadness away,
May the flowers
fill your heart with beauty,
May hope
forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all,
may silence make you strong.
Love…
…IS a glance that freezes our gaze momentarily on one other; a sentence unfinished but completely understood by both; a quick kiss that resonates long after; the warmth of a hug that cools slowly. Such things find their meaning between two hearts enlivened.
From XVII of “100 Love Sonnets” by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
I do not love you
as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations
the fire shoots off.
I love you without knowing how,
or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly,
without complexities or pride.
Love…
…is known when no words are spoken; felt when you are not near; seen when night is darkest black; smelled in a scentless room and tasted without need for flavor. It is within my sixth sense, the intuition of my heart, where love is known in its full dimensions.
“Come Slowly” by American poet Emily Dickinson
Come slowly, Eden
Lips unused to thee.
Bashful, sip thy jasmines,
As the fainting bee,
Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums,
Counts his nectars, alights,
And is lost in balms!
I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.
By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.
I love…
…how our eyes make contact sometimes and hold each other in a gaze for a few seconds. More is said silently then than can often be expressed in words.
American preacher, author and writer Leroy Brownlow
There
are
times
when
silence
has
the
loudest
voice.
I love…
…my life and having you as a part of it. As flowers paint splendor on the landscape your presence adds color to my existence.
German psychologist and philosopher Eric Fromm
Love is
the only
sane
and
satisfactory
answer
to the problem
of human existence.
I love…
…what it feels like to have you in my arms when you have not been there for a while. It brings a sort of reawakening every single time.
From the book “I Love You” by Susan Polis Schutz
Sometimes you do not
say anything
and I know exactly
what you are thinking.
Sometimes you
see something beautiful
and it is as though I see it too.
Sometimes you
touch something
and by holding your hand
I feel like I
touch it also.
I love…
…the caring words you send to me. The cold I am suffering with today is a little easier to bear because of what you emailed this morning: “Take good care of yourself today. I am sending healing vibes and loving thoughts.”
American publisher and motivational author Louise Hay
Love
is
the
most
important
healing
power
there
is.
I love…
…watching you learn new things and become more of what you always wanted to be. Your growth gives added meaning to the phrase “the best is yet to come”.
Saying by American author Henry Van Dyke
Time is too slow
for those who wait,
too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love,
time is eternity.
