I love…
…your soft hands and the gentle way you touch me. Such tenderness can only come from a deeply kind and compassionate heart.
Taken from “ONE MOMENT LONGER” by Jim Nolan
May I embrace you
One moment longer
So that hugging
Becomes Holding.
May our brief touches last
One moment longer
So that aching
Becomes Caressing.
May my heart be in the presence
Of your heart
One moment longer
So that longing
Becomes Loving.
I love…
…the little things you do like a kind glance at the right moment, an encouraging word when things are tough for me, patience even when you don’t understand what I am going through or even a simple email to say good night or good morning. All together they sum to something quite substantial.
Eighteenth Century English poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The happiness of life
is made up of
minute fractions;
the little soon
forgotten charities
of a kiss or smile,
a kind look,
a heartfelt compliment,
and the countless infinitesimal
pleasurable
and genial feeling.
I love…
…your soft touch, expressive manner and loving ways. Your hug has become a delicious treat to me and a kiss is the cherry on top of that delicacy.
Taken from “From June to December” by Summer Villanelle
You know exactly what to do—
Your kiss, your fingers on my thigh—
I think of little else but you.
It’s bliss to have a lover who,
Touching one shoulder, makes me sigh—
You know exactly what to do.
But is it love? And is it true?
Who cares? This much I can’t deny:
You know exactly what to do;
I think of little else but you.
I love…
…what it feels like to have you in my arms when you have not been there for a while. It brings a sort of reawakening every single time.
From the book “I Love You” by Susan Polis Schutz
Sometimes you do not
say anything
and I know exactly
what you are thinking.
Sometimes you
see something beautiful
and it is as though I see it too.
Sometimes you
touch something
and by holding your hand
I feel like I
touch it also.
I love…
…your tenderness and soft touch. It means even more because I know a good bit of your life you have had so little of it. For some pain makes them bitter, but your hurts made you sweet and kind.
From “If I Could” by Harry Boslem
If I could find a song bird,
I’d place it on your windowsill,
To sing the song of our love,
And chase away the morning chill.
If I could find a sweet rose,
I’d place it on your pillow,
To gently scent your sleep’s repose,
With the good smell of tomorrow.
If I could kiss your sweet lips,
I’d kiss them all the while,
Until I lost myself in their softness,
To be found again in your smile.
I love…
…that you are learning not to be afraid to cry and are coming to know the healing quality of tears. Sometimes they’re the best cure for what ails us. Always I am glad to hold you in my arms anytime that will help the pain and sadness pass.
Poem by American poet Marge Tindall
I shed a tear today.
Silently, I felt it fall.
You caught it,
shared it,
held it,
felt it,
then
suddenly
it wasn’t so
big after all.
I love…
…that the pain we went through earlier in our lives causes us to be so gentle and kind to each other now. Being mistreated by others and knowing heartbreak softened us.
From a letter Ronald Reagan wrote to Nancy Reagan
Man can’t live
without a heart
and you
are my heart,
by far the nicest thing
about me…
There would be
no life without you
nor would I want any.
I love…
…the glint in your eye when we first make eye contact and the little smile that follows soon after. There is no better way I know of to be greeted by someone you love.
“Enchanted Dream” by Claudia Watenpuhl
I soared upon the starry skies.
I sang of angels lullabies.
I saw the light of silver dreams,
And waded deep in diamond streams.
I heard the laughter of children’s play
And danced upon the sunlit rays.
I heard the echo of silver chimes
As destiny and love intertwined.
I touched an angels ivory wing
And listened to their chorus sing.
I held a dove within my hand
And laid upon the ruby sand.
I dreamed a dream of endless time
Where golden moons forever shine.
I breathed within loves purity
The day you gave your heart to me.
I love…
…that even though you like to be busy, with me you can sit still, relax, and be lazy. We’re good together at doing nothing in particular and doing it well.
From the song “Love Like Crazy” by Lee Brice
Be a best friend.
Tell the truth.
And overuse I love you.
Go to work.
Do your best.
Don’t out smart
your common sense.
Never let your
prayin’ knees get lazy.
And love like crazy.
I love…
…how you give of yourself to help others. Your deeply caring soul is one of many things that writes your name in a uniquely special place in my heart.
Unknown, but often credited to Johnny Depp
Love
is not
blind,
it simply
enables
one
to see
things
others
fail to see.
