Madly, Deeply and for Always

My Love…
I am constantly touched by the depth of feeling you show me. Your kind way and tender manner is the sweetest affection I have ever known. I love you madly, deeply and for always.

By American novelist and screenwriter Nicholas Sparks

more than
three words
mumbled

Love is
sustained
by action,
a pattern
of devotion
in the things
we do
for each
other
every day.

Beyond Mine to Give

My Love…
Was it chance that brought us together, or divine intervention? Were we preordained to meet? Was our fate written in destiny’s book? Such answers are beyond me, but I know I love you with my whole being.

American film actor, author and singer Robert Mitchum

it.

Show You Instead

My Love…
Often I try to find words to convey the depth of my feelings. Try as hard as I do, my discovery has been there is no language that can adequately express how much I love you. So I’ll keep trying to show you instead.

From “So Much Closer” by America Novelist Susane Colosanti
10Love-Sweet-LoveOne of the most
amazing things
that can happen
is finding someone
who sees everything
you are and won’t let
you be anything less.
They see the potential
of you. They see endless
possibilities. And through
their eyes, you start to see
yourself the same way
as someone who matters.
As someone who
can make a difference
in the world.

Will You…?

Love…
…is beyond my ability to explain. But without doubt I know I love you. There’s concrete proof in my heart, mind and soul that will take a lifetime to unfold. Will you marry me?

American author, poet, and naturalist Diane Ackerman

When We Met

Love…
…is a subject I long tried to make sense of. Success eluded me until I stopped trying. The answer arrived wrapped in an old red shirt and faded jeans you were wearing when we met.

American physician, activist and author Patch Adams

Reserved For Angels

Love…
…is little bits of heaven we are allowed to have on Earth. In fleeting moments of love’s goodness humans are allowed to borrow a depth of feeling usually reserved for angels.

risky,

it is so
honest
that God

but

Made More Perfect

Love…
…is a harsh teacher, but I bear no malice toward cupid’s mistaken arrows. Each grinding of my heart molded it to be ready for you. Through pain and heartbreak I was softened and made more perfect in my ability to love you.

From “Romeo and Juliet” by English Playwright William Shakespeare

Landlord of the Heart

Love…
…runs away if pursued, but follows a willing spirit. It is reckless when treated thoughtlessly; but gentle if shown tenderness. Love can be found, but never possessed. It is the landlord of the heart for those who embrace it.

Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso most known “Ovid”
Rina & Kamal Indian Engagement editedLove is
a driver,
bitter
and
fierce
if you
fight
and
resist him;
Easy-going
enough
once you
acknowledge
his power.

Few Have Seen

Love…
…of a common sort is frequently discovered by those who settle for less than their heart’s desire. I waited, but fear moved in as I aged. When I was about ready to settle for an ordinary love, you stepped into my life.

17th-century French writer Francois de la Rochefoucauld

love
is
like
ghosts,
which
everyone
talks
about
and
few

No Beginning or End

Love…
…knows no sense of time; no beginning or end. Loving always feels like something awakened within that has been there all along but was sleeping, waiting to be brought to life.

From the novel/movie “Message in a Bottle” by Nicholas Sparks

in my arms,
I feel an
emptiness

I find myself
searching
the crowds
for your face;
I know it’s an
impossibility,
but I cannot
help myself.
