It’s Been Years Now

It’s been years now of this weaving back together and then drifting apart. In time, always difficult to keep going, and always far too difficult to ever completely stop. Sometime love just “IS”.

Written by “Unknown” Who Surely Walks the Path I Walk
St. Valentine's Day weaving heart + AlphaAt some point
you will realize
that you have done
too much for someone,
that the only
next possible step
to do is to stop.
Leave them alone.
Walk away.
It’s not like
you’re giving up,
and it’s not like
you shouldn’t try.
It’s just that you
have to draw the line
of determination
from desperation.
What is truly yours
will eventually be yours,
and what is not,
no matter how hard you try,
will never be.

Eternal and True

Loving you does not mean I don’t see your faults and shortcomings. Well aware of many, I easily choose not to notice them hardly at all. That I can love you for a thousand things and barely notice a few dozen makes my love for you eternal and true.

From “Born Ready” by Jennifer Elisabeth
imperfect heartI love
him
in ways
that I
can’t
explain
to other
people.
They don’t
understand…
it’s not
their
fault.

Lean In

The experience of my heart urges caution. My memory says be careful. My spirit says “lean in” and let yourself be known. I hesitate. Yet there is something about you that attracts me like iron to a magnet.

German-born poet, novelist, and painter Hermann Karl Hesse

have
the strength
to become
certain
within
itself.
Then it
ceases
merely
to be
attracted
and begins
to attract.

All Along

It’s in the difficult times I know I love you most. Never is there a thought of moving away from you. My mind feels the same as my heart: love for you in a thousand ways.

Third century Persian Sufi poet, scholar and theologian, Rumi

I heard

I started

Lovers don’t
finally meet
somewhere.
They’re in each
other all along.

A Sure Sign of True Love

Through challenge, adversity and trouble, love either becomes more durable or weakens. It is a sure sign of true love that when tested it becomes a stronger. The heart grows through its scars to be more capable of loving.

Right Now

Love …
…usually arrives unpredictably like a rain shower. No matter how much you try to anticipate its arrival, you don’t really know it has begun until love is upon you.

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.

you;

Imperfection Perfection

I am too old to find interest solely in the surface and shell of you. With your loving heart, truthful soul, sparkling eyes and radiant smile I am mesmerized. It is within your imperfect perfection that I see the greatest beauty in you.

Inspirational author and positivity originator, Shannon L. Alder

wasn’t suppose
to be perfect.
You were meant
to see the cracks
in her soul
and fill them
with what you
have and she
was meant
to see yours.
Together you
would be
complete

Found You, Again.

When I allow myself to only feel without thought, it is as if I have always known you. Through different lifetimes I have carried this love in my heart to the present. Now is a good time. I have found you, again.

By American Fantasy Writer and Novelist Daniel C Nielsen
reunitedAn awakened man can
touch the heart of the woman
he loves without touching
her, just by opening his soul
and whispering her name.
And even then, it’s not the words.
The heart can convey expressions
of love without anything
being said. There is a
silent language that two people
in love understand, and neither
time nor distance is a barrier.
When their souls meet,
their senses are heightened,
energy flows, and a deep intimacy
is formed, as if the two have
known each other from eternity past.
That’s the power of the soul
and love at work.

The Best or Worst

My Darling…
Going through love’s difficult times can shape a relationship to a beautiful reflection or shatter it into pieces that never fit again. Trouble can bring out the best or worst in us. Which one will be decided by our choices and actions.

American poet and author Coco J. Ginger

superstition21LONGI love you,
with no beginning,
no end.
I love you as you
have become
an extra necessary
organ in my body.
I love you as only a girl
could love a boy.
Without fear.
Without expectations.
Wanting nothing in return,
except that you allow me
to keep you here in my heart,
that I may always know
your strength, your eyes,
and your spirit…
