Waited So Long For You

Sweetheart…
Without a hint of warning you appeared; a stranger, yet someone I already knew. This knowing beyond knowing is unnerving if I allow my thinking mind to ponder it. Yet, my heart is certain in its conviction to love you. I’ve waited so long for you.

American Catholic archbishop, Fulton J. Sheen

is not
an absence
of action;
rather it
is “timing”…
it waits
on the
right time
to act,
for the right
principles
and in the
right way.

True and Unmistakable

Sweetheart…
A fire that warms but does not injure; a fall that moves upward and never down; a strength unbreakable, yet pliable and tender. Such things, and more, my love for you is made of; my feelings for you true and unmistakable.

From “The Notebook” by writer and film producer Nicholas Sparks
tender loveThe best
love is
the kind
that awakens
the soul
and makes
us reach
for more,
that plants
a fire
in our
hearts and
brings peace
to our minds.

Beautifully Imperfect

My Darling…
In your imperfections, I see beauty. In your scars, I see a strength to overcome. In your insecurity, I see wounds that are healing. In your hands, I see tenderness. In your face, I see love.

American actor, director, and writer Emilio Estevez

That’s
what

us–
that
we’re
all
broken,
all
beautifully
imperfect.

Like a Mirror

Sweetheart…
When I am around you it feels as though I have known you before. I sense you are much like me. Like smooth water you reflect stylized images that are so familiar, yet more easily seen outside me.

you like

I
see
in you
what

myself.

Transformed and Enchanted

Sweetheart…
I never imagined I’d feel the sweetness of a boyhood first kiss a second time. You have taught me that magic of long ago was never lost. It was within waiting for your arrival.

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

I felt something
melt inside me
that hurt in
an exquisite way.
All my longings,
all my dreams
and sweet anguish,
All the secrets
that slept deep
within me came awake,
Everything was
transformed and
enchanted,
Everything made sense.

Soaking Joy

Sweetheart…
As the rain begins to fall tonight I am comforted knowing you hear the same thunder I do. Listening to the raindrops fall makes me feel closer to you. I seem to find you these days in just about everything of beauty.

Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho de Souza

Unfold In Reality

My Dear…
You have settled into my near constant thoughts, yet we hardly know each other. There is a familiarity about you that whispers I have known you before. Maybe it’s only a dream trying to unfold in reality.

Please Don’t

My Love…
There is no controlling it; no denying it; no running from it. My heart beats in my chest, but is no longer mine. You are the mysterious thief who stole what I willingly gave.

From the song “Bleeding Out” by Wynter Gordon

you not
loving me…

Through Whatever Comes

Sweetheart…
In our most difficult moments, I never doubt what I feel for you. It never wavers or becomes weak. Always and forever, through whatever comes, I will love you.

Always, Forever and All Time

My Love…
It’s been so long. The years have gone by like an evening breeze while the space in my heart you occupy has grown consistently. There you are safe, unfettered by thoughts of others; safe always, forever and all time.

American romantic writer and blogger James Browning

miss youThe longing is sweet,
For when we meet;
Yearning to see you,
To hear your voice,
To see your smile,
To look into your eyes,
To touch your hand,
To be near you,
To take in the same air,
To laugh,
To cry,
To feel,
Everything…
Anticipation is sweet,
For when we meet
Again.
