Love…
…requires courage! Over time everything changes and every life ends. It takes great bravery to love, knowing it might end any time but having faith it will last forever.
American writer and novelist Amy Tan
I am
like a falling star
who has finally
found her place
next to another
in a lovely constellation,
where we will sparkle
in the heavens
forever.
Love…
… lives within every little thing in the treasure box where I store memories of loving you. One box became two and now it takes three to hold all those riches. Parting with any of it would be letting go of the tangible history of our love.
“Keepsakes of Love” by James Browning
Bit’s and pieces
Covered with lines & creases:
Concert ticket stubs
and cards and notes.
Parking passes
and dinner receipts.
Programs from plays
and a vacation motel key.
Used movie tickets
and hand written notes.
These many things & more
are the odds & ends of love;
treasures all.
Love…
…means I can go days not seeing you without growing restless or wondering if something is wrong. How often we communication does not really matter much either. What we share is the first time romantic love has not brought me a steady flow of anguish and intrigue.
French memoirist Comte DeBussy-Rabutin
Absence
is to love
what wind
is to fire;
it extinguishes
the small,
it enkindles
the great.
Love…
…should be silly and serious to the full extent possible so it is carved as deeply true as love is capable of becoming. Silliness and laughter is just as important as holding each other through the greatest of painful tragedies. The broader the scope of what can be easily shared, the greater the depth love will further grow to.
From the movie “The Mirror Has Two Faces”
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us
feel completely alive,
where every sense is heightened,
and every emotion is magnified.
Our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flying into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour,
or an afternoon,
but that doesn’t diminish its value,
because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
Love…
…brings hope into one’s heart that is rooted in uncertainty and bound by possibility. The fire in love’s risk dampened by understanding sculpts a heart quietly inflamed.
Taken from “Love Plain and Simple” by Nicole
I get butterflies,
every time,
You look at me,
touch me,
talk to me.
Big cheesy smiles across my face,
You fill that empty place,
Deep in my heart,
Where it has been lonely
for such a long while…
Love…
…is constantly varying and filled with ‘ups’ contrasted with ‘downs’. The high times strengthen for the low times. The good times train the heart and the difficult ones teach the mind. In balance like yen and yang, love has its best chance of survival.
British novelist and poet Anne Bronte
He who
dares not
grasp the
thorn
Should never
crave
the rose.
Love…
…has come to mean a greater variety of things through knowing you. The boundaries have been made wider, the height made taller and the depth made deeper.
“The Contrasts of Love” by James Browning
Love is…
Simple but complicated;
Certain but unsure;
Weak but strong;
Subtle but obvious;
Absolute but intangible;
Permanent but fleeting;
Intangible but distinct;
Vague but clear;
Quiet but deafening;
Clever but simple;
Complete but never finished;
Elusive but easily caught.
I love…
…learning about you and coming to know more fully the person you are. Like a flower one must know you for a long time to see you fully in bloom.
Taken from “Falling in Love” by Freida Martinez
My love
blooms for you
like a flower in spring
like a piece of art
it’s a beautiful thing.
I hold to it gently
and feel its light glow
into my heart.
I love…
…witnessing your determination to evolve mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Nothing takes more courage than exploring the depths of one’s inner most self and finding peace with what is found.
Taken from “You” by Louis Untermeyer
In this mad world
of change,
Where everything
is sad and strange,
Where few know
what they mean,
or do
You are serene,
steadfast, true.
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
I’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.
