Love…
…remains deep and true. For you I would give up my future and even my life without hesitation. Through your illness I will stand by you, be with you and hold you. Nothing can take me away from you… NOTHING.
From “Dear John” by American novelist Nicholas Sparks.
I finally
understood
what true
love meant.
…love meant that
you care for
another person’s
happiness more
than your own,
no matter how
painful
the choices
you face
might be.
He Made Me Love Him
Love…
…can sneak up slowly and be a surprise. We’ve known each other a long time. We’ve become close friends. Being together is so comfortable and easy. I don’t want to mess that up, but am falling in love with you. Should I tell you?
From “Jane Eyre” by English poet and novelist Charlotte Bronte
I had not intended
to love him;
the reader knows
I had wrought hard
to extirpate from my soul
the germs of love
there detected; and now,
at the first renewed
view of him,
they spontaneously
revived,
great and strong!
He made me
love him
without looking
at me.
No Longer Complete
Love…
…stirs deeply when we look at each other. Making eye contact with you is one the single most uplifting experiences I have ever known. In those moments we connect to be one living and breathing being; apart, no longer complete.
From “Deliriium” by American author Lauren Oliver
As soon as I look up,
his eyes click onto my face.
The breath whooshes
out of my body and
everything freezes
for a second, as though
I’m looking at him
through my camera lens,
zoomed in all the way,
the world pausing
for that tiny span of time
between the opening
and closing of the shutter.
Stand Straighter
Love…
…has remade me. I am changed. See my smile? It was never this large before. See my eyes? The sparkle wasn’t there previously. I stand straighter and walk with more confidence. I am not a different person, but a far better version.
Composer Ludwig van Beethoven to his Immortal Beloved
Oh,
continue
to love me,
never
misjudge
the most
faithful
heart
of your
beloved.
ever
thine,
ever
mine,
ever
ours.
The Welcoming of Your Beloved
Love…
…is an opening of the heart; a welcoming of your beloved. Authentic loving is risky and the most potentially rewarding chance a person can take. You must be willing to get your heart-broken six times theN get up and try a seventh and more…
From a post found at http://yourconfessions.tumblr.com/
You fixed me.
A decade of
being broken,
without hope,
and you fixed me.
You said I was
amazing and beautiful.
More importantly,
you told me
that nothing
would ever stop you
from loving me.
You have no idea
how much
you mean to me.
I love you, so much
that I don’t even know
how to put it to words.
Endless Possibilities
Love…
…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.
From “Eat, Pray, Love…” by Elizabeth Gilbert
I’m here.
I love you.
I don’t care
if you need
to stay up crying
all night long,
I will stay with you.
There’s nothing
you can ever do
to lose my love.
I will protect you
until you die,
and after your death
I will still protect you.
The Common State
Love…
…takes two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned. Unrequited love is the common state that in comparison makes mutual and true love so valuable.
American story-teller and author Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
Love seems
the swiftest,
but it is
the slowest
of all growths.
No man or
woman really
knows what
perfect love is
until they have
been married
a quarter
of a century.
Strong and Lasting
Love…
…appears quickly, but grows slowly. Only when tested by time, circumstance and destiny can it reach its potential. Like an acorn quick to sprout, love takes years and years to grow strong and lasting.
American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)
True love
is not
a potion
one person
can swallow
and another
refuse to drink.
It happens only
when the souls
of two join
together
to form one.
Filled With Feelings
Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.
From the novel “Impulse” by American writer and poet Ellen Hopkins
Forever
has
no
meaning
when
you’re
living
in
the
moment.
Two Halves
Love…
…arrived when you came into my life and I went crazy in sublime and wonderful ways. You in turn found our love to be the lion tamer you needed and had long searched for. Two halves of one whole, that’s you and me…
Quote by an obscure writer named Alexis Delp
Love
makes
the
wildest
spirit
tame,
and
the
tamest
spirit
wild.
