Always Will

My Love…
We have been through hell in many guises. There have been times I wondered if we’d make it, but we did. Though all that has come at us our love has always prevailed and I believe it always will.

of storms.

Wonderfully Blessed

My Love…
From time to time I am overtaken by a feeling of how wonderfully blessed I am to have you in my life. Everything is so different since we fell in love. Even at the most difficult moments I cherish every second of being loved by you.

American poet and author Coco J. Ginger

stormy
night.

Beautiful Insanity

My Darling…
At one moment I think I am losing my mind and at another I feel completely rational. There is so much against us I can’t imagine things working out. But in my beautiful insanity I can’t imagine life letting you and I part either.

French playwright and novelist Françoise Sagan

A Summer Sunday Evening

My Darling…
In my car at sundown on a Summer Sunday evening with the windows open and music playing we made out like teenagers. That’s a memory I will never forget. You touch my heart, mind and soul as no one ever has.

New York Times Bestselling American author Sarah Addison Allen
kissing in the carIt was the best first kiss
in the history of first kisses.
It was as sweet as sugar.
And it was warm,
as warm as pie.
The whole world opened up
and I fell inside.
I don’t know where I was,
but I didn’t care.
I didn’t care
because the only person
who mattered
was there with me.

When Your Skin Meets Mine

My Love…
There are those special times when the only witnesses are you and me. By candlelight or in the daytime; in bed or in the kitchen, wherever we are when your skin meets mine is sweeter than the time before.

From “I Love Your Smile” by American poet Ronnie Doe

your charms,
your loving arms
How you
hold me
so tenderly

When you’re
making sweet
love to me.

Today Only

My Love..
I hope for tomorrow and dream of next year and the year after with you. But it’s today I want most. One at a time I want wake up with you every morning for the rest of my life.

From “Today Only” by American writer D. Love

from you
is simple.
I want
today only.
If it’s laughter,
I want it.
If it’s pain,
I want it.
Whatever
today holds,
as long as
the day
holds you,
I want it.

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.

So Alive

My Darling…
How you have touched me is beyond my ability to realistically explain. I thought the days when a woman like you might want and need me were past. Then you showed up and awakened my heart and soul. I feel so alive.

American blogger, poet and novelist James Browning
The-Truth-About-Older-Men-Younger-WomenYour kisses
are still fresh
on my lips.
Your touch
echoes on
my skin.
I close my eyes
and see you.
I breathe and
smell you again.

A Step Without Feet

My love…
My heart soars higher than ever before. My mind sees into what was previously obscured. Life has never meant more to me nor have I ever been so certain I could give it up to save someone if necessary. You are that ‘someone’.

13th-century Persian poet and Sufi mystic known as Rumi
dawns-necklaceThis is love:
to fly toward
a secret sky,
to cause a
hundred veils
to fall each
moment.
First to
let go
of life.
Finally,
to take
a step
without
feet.

As Long As You Want Me

I get jealous sometimes and do things before I think them through. I don’t dress well or have money in the bank. But I love you as honestly and faithfully as a man can love a woman. Always and forever, I yours for as long as you want me.

19th Century French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo

the conviction

loved for ourselves,
or

loved
in spite
of ourselves.
