Ready

My heart was broken, then shattered again and a third time, and more. I settled. I was hurt by staying where I shouldn’t have. I spent years alone. I learned. I healed. I grew. So by the time you came along I was ready to love and be loved.

Consider the Eternity

Love is the longest four letter word in the English language. To understand, one need only consider the eternity it takes before a response after telling someone for the first time that you love him or her.

What an Adversary

My Dearest…
Miles apart, my mind wonders, “Does she really love me?” My heart answers quickly, “Yes, she does. She needs you and wants only you!”. Oh, what an adversary the thinking mind can be to a loving heart.

just how

I truly do
love you.

Worth It

Sweetheart…
I spoke the words “I love you” before I said them to you. Falling for you has made me realize I expressed them then without full comprehension of their meaning. With you it feels like I have discovered love for the first time.

and no one around you
can understand why you do
the things you do,
for something that can
cause you so much pain.
Because you know
after all the fighting,
tears, and uncertainty,
it’s all worth it.

Stronger Than Ever

My love…
A thing, when broken and put back together is never as strong as before. People, on the other hand, become stronger when they recover from damage. And so it is with us: what was broken is now stronger than ever.

Taken from “Stronger Than Ever Before” by Imran Khan

loads of difficulties,
but your love
in my heart,
is stronger
than ever before.
The promise
I made with you,
that I will
never leave you,
that promise,
is stronger
than ever before.

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…

Do Everything In Your Power

My Love…
My mind’s babbling is an over protective burden. It’s logic says our relationship is unlikely to survive long-term. But to those ramblings my heart and soul screams, “You’re wrong! We’re going to have a great life together.”

1375799_253795414775295_226324192_nSomeday, you’re going to meet someone who drives you mad, who you’re going to fight with and laugh with. Someone who you will share your deepest darkest secrets and past with, who you’ll do insane things for, someone, who is going to turn your life upside down. And when that time comes, don’t ever let them go and do everything in your power to keep them.

All I Can Do Is Hope

My Love…
There is space between us right now. Stepping back to take stock of things is healthy for both of us. Already I know my feelings for you are even deeper than I thought before. All I can do is hope you are making similar discoveries.

in your togetherness,
and let the winds of
the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another but
make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a
moving sea between
the shores
of your souls.

With All I Am Capable

My Darling…
I get afraid at times. I fret that I might love you too much and you might not love me enough. Regardless, I am facing my fears. They are about my past and not about you. With all the love I am capable my heart is open to you.

From the song “Living of Love” by The Avett Brothers

says not again;
What kind
of mess
have you
got me in;
But when
the feelings
there,
It can lift
you up a
and take
you anywhere.
