Assembled From Every Experience

Love…
…is assembled from every experience a person has ever known bundled up into one way of perception. Had a life not been as it was before one falls in love, chances are that love would not have happened.

Quote by a writer unknown/anonymous
Woman-resting-her-head-on-man-s-shoulder-uid-1283701I feel like
everything
in my life
has led me
to you.
My choices,
my heartbreaks,
my regrets.
Everything.
And when
we’re together,
my past seems
worth it.
Because if
I had done
one thing
differently,
I might never
have met you.

With All That You Are

Love…
…that is given time, heals. Our days apart brought a clear knowing of how much you mean to me. Alone in the quiet within myself, I listened to my heart and it whispered loudly, “you love him still with all that you are”.

Dutch-born Catholic priest and writer Henri Nouwen
daydreaming-daydreaming-31008775-553-694Somewhere
we know
that without
silence,
words
lose their
meaning,
that without
listening,
speaking
no longer
heals,
that without
distance,
closeness
cannot
cure.

Sweetener of Human Existence

Love…
…is never wasted. In spite of what pain and heartache may come, loving and being loved are the most important parts of being alive. Love is the sweetener of human existence.

American spiritual teacher and author Gary Zukav
Ebb-and-Flow-of-Passion-300x201Eventually,
you will
come to
understand
that love
heals
everything,
and love
is all
there is.

Like Oxygen

Love…
… makes a home without your presence seem ordinary and lacking. It is in your absence I realize the depth of my feelings and that you have become to my heart like oxygen is to my lungs.

From “In Your Eyes” by Tony DeLorger
kissing,lovers,love,couple,photography,portrait-94a7b550041643552fb032324be0de83_hYour eyes are the pathway to my soul,
and within you I see myself,
a reflection of my hopes, my dreams,
brought to me within the arms of love.
You presence to me is serenity,
the knowing that I am here,
that I exist and I am whole
within the silence of dreams.
Near is all I want to be,
for it is you who gives me hope…

Known Fact and Part Enigma

Love…
…is part known fact and part enigma; both explainable and inexplicable at the same time. You know for certain when it’s present yet can offer no concrete proof what so ever to anyone else of what you feel.

French-speaking Swiss author Germaine de Staël
What_is_LOVE-Valentine_Day-507_bigLove
is the
emblem
of
eternity;
it confounds
all notion
of time;
effaces
all
memory
of a
beginning;
all fear
of an end.

Deep Healthy Roots

Love…
…is made strong when it is allowed to grow slowly. Like a tree with deep healthy roots, with unhurried development the emotion is made strong and able to hold up under adversity. Love that sprouts quickly is usually just a weed that lives only for single season.

19th century English poet Robert Browning
happy_older_coupleI was
made
and
meant
to look
for you
and wait
for you
and
become
yours
forever.

A Beautiful Reminder

Love…
…is when you look into someone’s eyes and see everything you need reflected back to you. There is no mistaking it for something else. You’ll know beyond doubt when true love is present.

between
two hearts
is not an
obstacle;
rather
a beautiful
reminder
of just
how strong
true love
can be…

A Sureness Beyond Explanation

Love…
…brings one of the greatest certainties a person will ever know. We are rarely convinced of anything in the same way as when true love arrives. Without logic or thought, true love brings a sureness beyond explanation.

Saying by an unknown writer/anonymous
2610_384171_largeThere
are
only
two
times
that
I want
to be
with
you,
now
and
forever.

Are Made More So

Love…
…is gentle wind through my hair, a sight of a moonlit night, an inhaled scent of roses, the sound of pure joy and a sweet taste of delight: ALL at once. Everything I feel, see, smell, hear and taste are made more so by my love for you.

From “The Host” by American author Stephenie Meyer
25-Small-Ways-to-Love-BigIt’s not the face,
but the expressions on it.
It’s not the voice,
but what you say.
It’s not how you look
in that body,
but the thing
you do with it.
You are beautiful.

Set To Music

Love…
…grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.(Elbert Hubbard)


Hungarian-born American composer Sigmund Romberg
