Most Peaceful Insanity

Love sparkles when new and glistens softly when it’s old. Love is swift and urgent with its coming yet grows patient and gentle with time. Love is craziness at its beginning, then a most peaceful insanity when it lasts.

Do I Dare

Dare I imagine what it would be like to be in love with you? Do I dare imagine you could love me too? Yes, I dare! Each time I am with you it seems more likely that love might in time bind us together with love.

I’m Here

Into the great unknown we go with only one certainty: we want to be together. We have love and respect filled with determination. There’s passion and intimate friendship founded on honesty. I need know nothing else for certain, except you love me.

From “Eat, Pray, Love” by American author Elizabeth Gilbert

I love you.
I don’t care

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

You Only

All is well, but I miss you with an aching hunger to be near you. Only you can sate my yearning; only you my love. All the sweeter the time will be when next I hold you again.

You Must Know

Calm your doubt. What we are sharing is real. To you I want to be the best man I have ever been. Love me with all your heart and your complete self; like I am loving you. You must know I’m ALL yours…

Home

Honey…
“I’m home”. That’s how I feel in your arms; safe, cherished and loved. There is no better or stronger sense of belonging that I have known.

From “Home Sweet Home” by American novelist T.A. Chase

A Hundred Cautions

Is it possible? Could it be true? Could I match someone so well she turns out to want only me as much as I want only her? Logic spins a hundred cautions. My heart trumps their appearance ten-fold with love.

Through It All

My Darling…
Through good times and not; through all the sweetness and what comes that’s bitter; through every sunny and rainy day, through agreement and difference, through health and sickness… I will love you and keep my place by your side. Always.

“Through It All” by Wayne Visser
Worlds may collide –
The sky turn to black
Mountains may crumble
The earth shake beneath your feet
Rivers may dry up
The oceans lash out with tidal waves –
And through it all
I will stand beside you.

Others may desert you –
Fair weather friends and fickle family
They may walk away
Turn their backs and harden their hearts
They may change their minds
Break their promises and leave –
But through it all
I will be beside you.

Storms may come –
The seasons turn to winter
Rain may fall
The sunshine blotted out to grey
Drought may strike
The soil left parched and cracked –
Yet through it all
I will stay beside you.

People may talk –
Wag their poison tongues and frown
They may whisper
Spread their rumours like a plague
They may sow their lies
Tut-tut and shake their disapproving heads –
Still through it all
I will be beside you.

We may be apart –
Separated by borders and time zones
Oceans may divide us
Whole continents stand in our way
Walls of belief may rise up
Demarcating your world and mine –
And through it all
I will appear beside you.

Sickness may visit –
Weaken your will to rise and shine
Time may grow heavy
Drag down your body and fray your mind
Doubts may linger
Gnawing at our love like a cancer –
But through it all
I will remain beside you.

Through all of this and more –
Through shining days and unexpected adventures
Through vivid nights and breath-taking summits
Through blissful moments and beauty discovered
Through passion flights and laughter spilled together –
I will be beside you
Because side by side, for now and always
Is where we belong.

Why?

Sweetheart…
My eyes see color in more luscious shades; everything I touch has a richer texture; smells of the season are unusually delightful; music is more pleasing to hear and even food tastes better. Why? Love, my darling; our love…

Rejoice It and Remember It

There’s a huge difference in sex and making love. We have sex with someone who can satisfy us physically, but we make love to someone who can satisfy us soulfully and eternally. Once you realize the fine-line between making love and having sex, you will understand the meaning of life! Life isn’t only about survival, it’s about living and so is making love. We have sex to satisfy our lust and hunger, which is nothing, but survival, but we make love to feed our soul and our mind, to fill a void that is there since a long time, that longs for a partner and that needs someone whom we want to spend the next morning with!

When you have sex just for physical pleasure, you are ashamed and guilty at one point of life or another, but when you make love to someone who means everything to you, you are always proud of it. Never in life, not even a single time, you regret that time and the moments spent with that person. You will always rejoice it and remember it with equal passion and joy. Mehek Bassi

Making love…
more than simply
a pleasurable act
between two people.
It encompassed all that a couple
was supposed to share:
trust & commitment,
hopes & dreams,
a promise to make it through
whatever the future might bring.
Nicholas Sparks
