Most Private Parts of Me

Love…
…deep and true proves I was made for you and you alone. Others have come and gone but always I remained distant. No one ever stole my heart. When you arrived it felt simply natural to throw open the windows of the most private parts of me.

Quote by an unknown/anonymous author

force
someone
to love you;
all you
can do is
become
someone
who can
be loved;
the rest is
up to them.

Never Grow Old

Love…
…has blessed us with its power and held you and me together through all the years we have shared. You are as much a part of me as my right hand and far more important.

American author, motivations speaker and professor Leo Buscaglia

grow old.
Locks may
lose their
brown and gold.
Cheeks may fade
and hollow grow.
But the hearts
that love
will know,
never winter’s
frost and chill,
summer’s warmth
is in them still.

Many Kinds of Love

Love…
…means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost. Love like energy can not be created or destroyed. Once it is, love always is.

From “Anna Karenina by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy
shadow heart…if it is
true that
there are
as many
minds as
there are
heads, then
there are
as many
kinds of love
as there
are hearts.

My Heart Is Reborn

Love…
…is never the same day-to-day, just as clouds are unique in every morning sky. Knowing this, and expecting it, makes my love for you ever new and exciting. Each morning I wake in your arms my heart is reborn.

From “Starlet’s Run” by Romance and fiction writer Carla Hanna

when you’re happy.
I love you

you if you’re bad.
No matter

I love you
all the time.
Oh my sweet,
dear baby,
I love you

What I Want

Love…
…survives in spite of famine, tragedy and illness. When life is most challenging what is in the heart is spilled forth in the greatest measure. Love is neither remedy nor cure, but makes bitter medicine easier to swallow.

From the novel “Today Only” by American author 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.

Where Ever You Are

Love…
…keeps hope alive. Years come and go. People pass through. Time evaporates. Age mounts. Yet, hope remains alive. I’m waiting for you, whoever you are, where ever you are.

From the 1993 movie “Sleepless In Seattle”

someone
you never
met,
someone
you never
saw,
someone
you never
knew,
was the only
someone
for you?

Unavoidable Craving

Love…
…puts an unavoidable craving toward another into mind, heart and soul; a thirst only the beloved can quench. Even if two lovers abide for only a time that makes their love no less true and real.

American poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Oliver

man_woman_kiss-1To live
in this world,
you must
be able to do
three things:
to love
what is
mortal;
to hold it
against
your bones
knowing
your life
depends on it;
and when
the time comes,
to let go.

Until the End of Time

Love…
…keeps you close always. You are alive in my heart, constant in my thoughts and permanently mingled with my soul. There is no separate “me” anymore; only you and I; us.

“Have I Ever Told You…” by Gianella Ramirez

Kissing_Couples_Love_Forever12Have I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear
the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and,
somehow,
I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes
and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how
this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?

Life After Life

Love…
…felt familiar from the moment I began to fall for you. It didn’t feel like a new spark, but rather a dormant one I had always carried. A sleeping ember was only waiting for your breath to awakened it and set a fire in my heart.

First non-European to win Literature Nobel Prize Rabindranath Tagore

after age
forever.

You and You Alone

Love…
…has changed all my perceptions. With my eyes I see more beauty. With my nose I smell more delights. Hearing your voice soothes me. Speaking your name rouses my heart. I have yet to be able to intelligently describe the taste of your lips.

Irish novelist, short-story writer and poet George Moore
stolen senses IIThe hours I spend with you
I look upon as sort
of a perfumed garden,
a dim twilight,
and a fountain
singing to it.
You and you alone
make me feel
that I am alive.
Other men it is said
have seen angels,
but I have seen thee
and thou art enough.
