I love…
…that you have the courage to share about your past with me. Being fully known to one another takes away the chance of poison that secrets become over time.

Saying by Rebecca Ann Talcott
Truth
and
love
are the only things
worth living for
and the only things
worth dying for.

I love…
…the occasional short text you send during the day just to say you care and are thinking about me.  They seem to usually come at just the right moment.

By German poet Rainer Maria Rilke
Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;
plug up my ears, and I can still hear;
even without feet I can walk toward you,
and without mouth I can still implore.
Break off my arms, and I will hold you
with my heart as if it were a hand;
strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;
and should you set fire to my brain,
I still can carry you with my blood.

I love…
…that it seems like we have been together for a long time, yet went out for the first time only a few weeks ago.  What we share feels resilient and durable, yet robust and new.
 
From “At First Sight” by Nicholas Sparks
The emotion
that can
break
your heart
is sometimes
the very one
that heals it…

I love…
…your responsible and industrious ways.  You always keep your word and are  conscientious, yet extravagant in showing how much you care about me.   
 
From “Love Comes Through” by Nicholas Gordon
Love comes through the eyes that see
And through the ears that hear,
For people are quite beautiful,
And words make feelings clear.
 
But though love comes through senses five,
Love comes from the heart,
For there resides the greater love
Of which ours is a part.

I love…
…YOU.  I need you.  I want you.  It’s hard to remember my life before you were in it.

From “COULD IT BE?” by Freida Martinez
Could it be
That I once saw you
In a dream
As old as time?
And could it be
The arms holding you
Were really mine
The whole time?

I love…
… the words you wrote me:  I feel your hands tracing my body; I feel your lips on my neck; I feel your warm skin on mine; I feel your breath on my shoulder; I feel your arms holding me tight…

From “You” by Louis Untermeyer
You are
All things to me –
Things near and far –
Sun, moon, and star –
The earliest lark at dawn
Before the stars are gone –
The spark
Transfiguring the dark –
A singing shaft of light
Scattering the night.

I love…
…how our eyes light up when we first see each other after being apart for a day or two.  We lock on to each other’s gaze and big smiles appear.   

“Never Like This” by Karl Fuchs
I’ve held others before
But it was never like this,
Where my body inhales you
And quivers with bliss,
Where my senses are reeling
From the strength of desire
And if I can’t have you soon,
I’ll be consumed by the fire.

I love…
…how safe I feel with you.  I don’t wonder if you if you love me or not… I know you do. 
 
From “I Will Love You Forever”by Kayla
I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice,
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile,
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring,
To my life everyday.

I love…
…how you patiently wait for me when I am away.  Missing you when I am gone is balanced with unwavering confidence in my heart for the love we share.

Missing someone
Gets easier every day
Because
Even though it’s one day further
From the last time you saw each other,
It’s one day closer
To the next time you will.
