Love Simply “Is”

Love…
…answers no questions. Love simply “is”. It would not exist between us if we had not taken the time to know each other to the bone. In each discovery of one another there existed the possibility of feast or famine.

From “The Genius and the Goddess” by English writer Aldous Huxley
12_portrait_of_indian_coupleWhy do
you love
the woman
you’re in
love with?
Because she is.
And that,
after all,
is God’s own
definition
of Himself;
I am that I am.
The girl is
who she is.

This Very Moment

Love…
…caught me by surprise when it arrived; when you arrived. From the first time we met I hoped we’d fall in love. I can’t remember life without you. It feels like I have always known you.

American poet, short story writer and novelist X. Williamson

Our sole

have been
for this very
moment
when nothing
else mattered.

Love of My Life

Love…
…drove me crazy when I began to fall for you. I had trouble getting to sleep, but could not wait to dream of us each night. Back then even a few days of not seeing you was torture. You became the love of my life.

From “Peony in Love” by American novelist Lisa See

my hair,
my eyes,
my fingers,
my heart.
I day-dreamed
about what he
was doing,
thinking,
seeing,
smelling,
feeling.
I could
not eat
for thoughts
of him.

What a Ride!

Love…
…is filled with surprises. I have no idea of when I went from simply beginning to fall in love with you to being head over heels, completely, absolutely and totally in love with you. Wow, what a ride!

From “Love Quotes for the Ages…” by American Writer Jarod Kintz

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.

Sweet Collision of Destinies

Love…
…gives me hope. I know the one my heart will find peace with is out there; maybe a stranger or someone I already know. Some way, some how, some day, some where, you and I will be together.

From “Love, Stargirl” by American novelist Jerry Spinelli

Let us ride
our own orbits
and trust that
they will meet.
May our reunion
be not a finding
but a sweet
collision
of destinies!

Sought After and Rare

Love…
…needs two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned in kind. Unrequited love is the all too common state that makes true love so sought after and rare.

American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)

is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another

It happens
only when
the souls
of two join
together
to form
one.

Bound Irretrievably

Love…
…is intertwined with life like an equation is to math: a reaction is to chemistry: like color is to art: like you are with me. It is there you will stay, bound irretrievably with my heart for all time.

From “Metamorphoses” by playwright/director Mary Zimmerman

dies.
Let me
not outlive
my own
capacity
to love.
Let me

and so,
never
die.

Not a Chance

Love…
…is a little crazy. Falling in love is like jumping off a high cliff. Your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly.

From “Bel Canto” by American writer Ann Patchett

I’ll Wait…

Love…
…gives me patient strength. I know you have things to work through and commitments to keep. No matter; I’ll keep waiting for you, hoping for ‘some day’. I have no choice. I’m so in love with you my heart will allow nothing else.
