Believing in Our Dreams

My Darling…
I am frequently filled with love more so than ever before. I care so much it scares me. It’s unimaginable now to even consider going on without you. So when I’m afraid I will push myself through my fear by believing in you and our dreams.

cost a lot
but not loving
always costs more,
and those who
fear to love
often find that
want of love
is an emptiness
that robs
the joy
from life.

I Love Thee

My Dear…
Can you love me as much as I love you? Can you express your emotions freely? Don’t be afraid! Every loving thought uttered or shown will come back to you multiplied. The more you open yourself to me, the more open to you I become.

19th Century English Romantic poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning
love handHow do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love thee
to the depth
and breadth
and height
My soul can reach…
I love thee freely…
I love thee purely…
I love thee
with the breath,
Smiles, tears,
of all my life!

Gentle Nudging at My Soul

I love…
…feeling romance in my heart again. It has touched me deeply with its sparkle of hope. Come what may I am grateful to know I still have the ability to fall in love. Thank you for showing me how.

From “Falling In Love Again’ by Alek House
writing-love-edit1I’d crept into the deepest darkest place,
Where life and love no longer saw my face.
My heart was cold, my very soul was dead.
My only solace, memories in my head.
You came to me and caught me unaware,
And unprepared, I fell into your lair.
I struggled as you crawled into my mind,
Afraid of what your loving me might find.
And as I stayed resistant to your touch
You never turned away, instead t’was such
an oh so gentle nudging at my soul
that woke me with your ever sweet cajole.

With All I Am

Sweetheart…
I woke this morning with you feeling content and grateful. Never before have I felt more happy. It does not matter to me that the odds are against us making it. I don’t care what others think or say. I love you with all I am.

From the 1992 movie “The Cutting Edge”
22Don’t say
we’re not
right for
each other
because
the way
I see it,
we might
not be
right for
anyone else.

She’ll Find You

My Love…
You’re the woman I dreamed of but doubted actually existed. Now you’re here and we’ve fallen deeply in love. I could have settled for less, but my heart kept saying, “Don’t! She’ll find you. Give her time”. I’m glad I listened.

From the song “I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden
detalles-para-recuperar-a-tu-hombreEDITI knew
I loved you
before
I met you;
I think
I dreamed
you into life.
I knew
I loved you
before I
met you;
I have
been
waiting
all my life.

Sweet Collision of Destinies

Love…
…gives me hope. I know the one my heart will find peace with is out there; maybe a stranger or someone I already know. Some way, some how, some day, some where, you and I will be together.

From “Love, Stargirl” by American novelist Jerry Spinelli

and I’ll be me…
and let’s trust
the future
to tomorrow.
Let the stars
keep track of us.
Let us ride
our own orbits
and trust that
they will meet.
May our reunion
be not a finding
but a sweet
collision
of destinies!

My Heart Became Tuned

Love…
… teaches difficult lessons. Had love only found me once before, I would not have been adequately taught how to love you to the best of my ability. It was in loving and losing, in trial and failure that my heart became tuned to love you at its best.

Where Ever You Are

Love…
…keeps hope alive. Years come and go. People pass through. Time evaporates. Age mounts. Yet, hope remains alive. I’m waiting for you, whoever you are, where ever you are.

From the 1993 movie “Sleepless In Seattle”

someone
you never

someone

someone
for you?

Take the Chance

Love…
…says break down the walls, overcome your fear and take the chance. Speak your heart and tell the one you love how you feel. You will end up with no less than before and it’s possible you’ll find what you hoped for.

From “Sense and Sensibility” by English Novelist Jane Austin
GivingRedClothHeartI come here
with no
expectations,
only
to profess,
now that
I am at liberty
to do so,
that my heart
is
and
always
will be
yours.

A Calm Blue Sky

Love…
…is a rising sun whose warmth every heart desires. For some it becomes injured by storms of difference. Others will know ups and downs like those on a partly cloudy day. And for a blessed few, love rises like a single cloud and rests in calm blue sky regardless of what happens.

American romantic fiction writer Nicholas Sparks
