When you’re away

Beyond Mere Externals

Sweetheart…
When we’re not together, I’m good. My life is rich. But when you’re near, I’m more than good; my life is richer. So completely you have seized my attention. So soon you have taken up residence in my heart.

Author and American Christian pioneer Ellen G. White
two-hearts-graffiti-love-carol-leighTrue love is not a strong,
fiery, impetuous passion.
It is, on the contrary,
an element
calm and deep.
It looks beyond
mere externals,
and is attracted
by qualities alone.
It is wise
and discriminating,
and its devotion
is real and abiding.

Daytime Without Sunshine

My Darling…
If no strings and expectations is the only way for us to be together, I can do that. Life without you is like daytime without Sunshine. Find me in the shadows. Come make the day bright again.

absolutely,
definitely,
positively,
unquestionably,
no strings attached,
beyond any doubt,
unconditionally,
in
love
with
you.

Saturday Morning

My Darling…
I miss you, but know the time apart will only make being in your arms again that much sweeter. I can’t wait to get home to you.

A Million Tiny Little Things

My Darling…
When you are away for even a day, there is no explaining how my heart leaps with happiness upon seeing you again. My world is incomplete without you in it. Plain and simple, I love you without reservation and need you beyond any doubt.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”

a million

little
things
that,
when
you added
them all up,
they meant
we were
supposed
to be
together
…and
I knew it.

Delightful Distress

My Love…
Being apart is luscious agony, delectable torment and delightful distress all rolled together. I am richly blessed to have someone to miss who I care about the way I do you and to be loved just as much in return.

Every Second, Minute, Hour, Day…

My Darling…
Falling in love with you has expanded how much my heart can contain. Never am I more aware of how much I love you than when we are apart. Home with you is my favorite place on Earth.

There’s never a dull time
when am with you my love.
Every

is spent in happiness.
I love you so much,
… words can’t even explain
how much I love you;
my love for you is infinite.
Love you always baby.

More than Yesterday

Sweetheart…
Our love is safe when we are apart. Distance fashions the heart to be stronger when the love contained therein is real and true. I love you more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.

separates two hearts
that really care,
for our memories
span the miles
and in seconds
we are there.
But whenever
I start feeling sad,
because I miss you,
I remind myself
how lucky I am
to have someone
so special to miss.

A Bitter Made Sweet

My Darling…
When distance separates us, even for a few days, my love for you is beckoned to the top of my heart. It’s then I am reminded my already deep affection for you is continually growing. Missing you is a bitter, made sweet.

Secreted Away

My Dear…
You don’t know it yet, but in your suitcase are hidden a bunch of little hearts. I cut them out for you to find while away. They’re in your backpack too. Every one was carefully secreted away to say “I love you” from a distance.

Made and Remade

Love…
…renews, reshapes and reforms within itself. Like skin sloughs off a human body and is ever being made new, the heart does likewise with its precious contents. Love must be made and remade or else it starts to wither and die.
