Love…
…is magic. Someone asked me what the happiest day of my life was. I closed my eyes and felt a joyful tear run down my face as I thought back to the day when you first told me you loved me.
19th Century Victorian poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I love you
not only for
what you are,
but for what
I am when
I am with you.
I love you
not only for
what you
have made
of yourself,
but for
what you
are making
of me.
Love…
…makes me want to be with you so badly now, but the certainty of what we share helps me be calm and patient. What we share is worth waiting for even if we are never together again until we get to Heaven.
From Happening’s song “See You in September” by Wayne/Edwards
…counting
the days
’til I’ll
be
with
you;
counting
the hours
and
the
minutes,
too…
Love…
…for you will always be here waiting. Whether you come find me one day or I just imagine that happening for the rest of my life, I will love you in a way that is not possible for me to love anyone else.
Sung by Frankie Vallie/written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
Love…
…has added the speed of light to my life. All the good we share builds happiness into fast joys. Grief and sadness are fleeting. Life is zipping by, but oh what a glorious ride it is.
From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E.A. Bucchianeri
The most
beautiful
moments
always seemed
to accelerate
and slip beyond
one’s grasp
just when
you want
to hold
onto them
for as long
as possible.
Love…
…stirs deeply when we look at each other. Making eye contact with you is one the single most uplifting experiences I have ever known. In those moments we connect to be one living and breathing being; apart, no longer complete.
From “Deliriium” by American author Lauren Oliver
As soon as I look up,
his eyes click onto my face.
The breath whooshes
out of my body and
everything freezes
for a second, as though
I’m looking at him
through my camera lens,
zoomed in all the way,
the world pausing
for that tiny span of time
between the opening
and closing of the shutter.
Love…
…is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way.
From “Eat, Pray, Love…” by Elizabeth Gilbert
I’m here.
I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up crying
all night long,
I will stay with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you.
Love…
…appears quickly, but grows slowly. Only when tested by time, circumstance and destiny can it reach its potential. Like an acorn quick to sprout, love takes years and years to grow strong and lasting.
American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)
True love
is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another
refuse to drink.
It happens only
when the souls
of two join
together
to form one.
Love…
…keeps you close in mind and heart. Although I can no longer reach out and touch you, I feel you close by. As long as I live your life will continue. Long ago I ceased to be able to have any boundary between who I was and am now because of you.
From “Before You Go…” book series by Canadian writer Vensa Bailey
…you
are my
rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never
will I
lose
sight
of you.
Love…
…is of the greatest value of anything on Earth. Those lucky enough to have it should cherish the subject of their feelings with their complete presence. With or without a lover the hope of love stirs in all. Everyone is in love or wants to be.
Dutch impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh
The more
I think
about it,
the more
I realize
there is
nothing
more
artistic
than to
love
others.
Love…
…oh, my love of long ago, please don’t select your words cautiously or second guess sharing your feelings. You are there. I am here. That’s where life placed us. Our real and true selves are the only gifts we have to give one another.
From a poem titled “Daydream” by Cassie McNair
Whenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.
I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.
Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.
