With Another

My love…
When we go home each day, it is the same place for both of us now. We have merged our lives. I’m happy and believe you are too. May our comfort and contentment grow through good times and the rough spots too.

American Catholic monk writer, poet, activist and mystic. Thomas Merton

is our
true
destiny.
We do
not find
the
meaning
of life
by
ourselves
alone…
we find it
with another.

All the Way

Sweetheart…
It will take you at twenty years or more to realize how much I love you. My heart carries you within at a depth that’s rare, strong and lasting. I love you all the way.

From “Unapologetically You…” by American writer Steve Maraboli

days in

express
the depth
of my love
for you.

Love Me Anyway

My Love…
There are haunts inside that cause me to hurt you, but they have nothing to do with you. I am grateful beyond expression for your forgiveness, especially when you don’t understand, yet love me anyway.

Buddhist photographer, poet, author and artist Tyler Knott Gregson
slow_dance editI promise you
I will try harder
to be better.
I have battled with
things inside me
for longer
than you know;
I do not know
what they are
or why they are there;
I only know
that they feel
manageable,
defeatable,
when I am
around YOU.

With All My Being

My Love…
Today is your birthday, the first of many I hope we get to share. Loving you and being loved in returned has made everything in my life more meaningful. I cherish you Darling and love you with all my being.

American writer, poet and greeting card writer Joanna Fuchs
heart shaped cakeHey, birthday love,
I think of you
On days both
dark and sunny.
You bring me joy
in every thought,
My precious,
loving honey!
So be my love
for all our lives,
And I’ll be
your love, too;
Each birthday
is another chance
To say,
“I love just you!”

Different With Every Shore

Sweetheart…
Never has there been a love exactly like ours. Our individual uniqueness, the time we live in and the contents of our hearts and minds shape us. Sharing love with you is wonderful. I never want this to end.

From “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston
Making-Out edit… love isn’t something
like a grindstone
that’s the same thing
everywhere and does
the same thing to
everything it touches.
Love is like the sea.
It is a moving thing,
but still and all,
it takes its shape
from the shore it meets,
and it’s different
with every shore.

Wonderful and Unnerving

Sweetheart…
I never dreamed I’d love again much less this deeply. Being with you is teaching me I never truly let go and gave all my self before. The newness of loving you so much is wonderful and unnerving at the same time.

of people
are the ones
that come
into your life,
and make you see
the sun where you
once saw clouds.
The people who
believe in you
so much, you start
to believe
in you too.
The people that
love you,
simply for
being you.
The once in a
lifetime kind
of people.

The Moon Coming Up Each Night

My Darling…
Often I wonder what will become of ‘us’, but every time I do the same answer comes: somehow, someway we’ll be together. Our love feels as certain as the sun rising each morning and the moon coming up each night.

From “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom
your kissPeople say
they ‘find’ love,
as if it were
an object
hidden by a rock.
But love takes
many forms,
and it is
never the same
for any man and woman.
What people find then
is a certain love.
And [he] found
a certain love with [her],
a grateful love,
a deep
but quiet love,
one that he knew,
above all else,
was irreplaceable.

Lots of Fun

Sweetheart…
You make me laugh. I love your horsing-around side even when I am the butt of your kidding around (have you noticed I usually get even?). We have lots of fun! We’re in love and I have never been happier.

` tumblr_lslsi4kQZh1ql40fgo1_500You have to
walk carefully
in the beginning
of love;
the running
across fields
into your
lover’s arms
can only
come later
when you’re
sure they won’t
laugh if you trip.

The Biggest Piece

My Darling…
In the difficult moments is when loves proves itself truest. We have faced challenges that a weaker relationship would have faltered under, but we became closer. Tested love that endures strengthens with each trial.

American fiction writer of eleven novels Sarah Dessen
WwW_IRAQNA1_CoM (45)No relationship is perfect, ever.
There are always some ways
you have to bend,
to compromise,
to give something up in order
to gain something greater…
The love we have
for each other is bigger
than these small differences.
And that’s the key.
It’s like a big pie chart,
and the love in a relationship
has to be the biggest piece.
Love can make up for a lot.

My Snowstorm

My Darling…
With a kind word and a warm smile you invited me to become your friend. As we got to know each other our mutual attraction grew and grew. We did admit our feelings until our love was so strong it could no longer be denied.

when you became
so important to me.
It’s like watching
a snowstorm.
You see the
flakes falling,
but you don’t
realize how
they’re adding up.
Then suddenly,
your whole lawn
is covered.
All these little
things have
added up,
and you’re
my snowstorm.
