Wealth of Your Affection

My Darling…
Youth isn’t wasted on the young, but love is often wasted by them. I am grateful to be “old” and understand the treasure of love and to be deeply thankful for the wealth of your affection.

Can’t Be Stolen

My Darling…
Whatever becomes of us on the path ahead, know you have touched my soul with your aliveness, my mind with your intelligence and my heart with every embrace. Never will come a time I do not gratefully hold dear what I know is precious.

My Heart Is Reborn

Love…
…is never the same day-to-day, just as clouds are unique in every morning sky. Knowing this, and expecting it, makes my love for you ever new and exciting. Each morning I wake in your arms my heart is reborn.

From “Starlet’s Run” by Romance and fiction writer Carla Hanna

Oh my sweet,

Another Twenty-Four Hours

My Darling…
To many it’s just another day, but for me it’s another twenty-four hours we get to be in love. Thank you for sharing the good times and being here with me in the difficult ones.

It happens
accidentally,
in a heartbeat,
in a single
flashing,
throbbing
moment.

Difference True Love Makes

Sweetheart…
Hearing you at my front door in the first awake minute of my day was a wonderful surprise. With sleep in my eyes and bed hair flying, seeing you started the day off superbly. It’s amazing the difference true love makes.

I Believe In You

Sweetheart…
Day by day, I become more sure of your love. Haunts from my past made it hard to believe you could want only me. Thank you for your unwavering patience, understanding and affection. I believe in you… in “US”… forever.

From “A Life for a Life” by Dinah Craik

the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person…
having neither to weigh thoughts
nor measure words,
but pouring them
all right out,
just as they are,
certain that a
faithful hand will…
keep what is worth keeping
blow the rest away…”

Sharing the Days

Sweetheart…
How could I have known our first holidays together would accelerate the growth of my love for you? Sharing the days together and being accepted by your family brought happiness I am unable to adequately thank you for.

I Am Yours

My Darling…
Loving you has changed me forever. Life will never be the same again. Through the ups and downs; the chills and spills; the good days and bad days; and everything living can throw at us I am yours.

As Long As I Am With You

My Darling…
A day with you is more valuable than a hundred with anyone else. I don’t care if we’re poor and have just enough to survive. As long as I am with you my life will always be filled with riches.

From “The Diaries of Adam & Eve” by Mark Twain

these years,
I see that
I was mistaken
about Eve
in the beginning;
it is better to live
outside
the Garden
with her
than inside it
without her.

Through Your Hands

My Love…
Having your love and devotion is more wealth that I dared ever imagine might be mine. Money, gold and diamonds seem so paltry in comparison to the riches love has brought. God touches me through your hands.

French Romantic movement poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo
Holding handsI met in the street
a very poor
young man
who was in love.
His hat was old,
his coat worn,
his cloak was out
at the elbows,
the water passed
through his shoes —
and the stars
through his soul.
