I love…
…that even though you like to be busy, with me you can sit still, relax, and be lazy. We’re good together at doing nothing in particular and doing it well.
From the song “Love Like Crazy” by Lee Brice
Be a best friend.
Tell the truth.
And overuse I love you.
Go to work.
Do your best.
Don’t out smart
your common sense.
Never let your
prayin’ knees get lazy.
And love like crazy.
I love…
…that my heart has discovered it can feel again. Through you I have come again to know love in full and broad dimensions instead of the narrow daydream my heart grasped to hold on to for such a long time.
From the poem “My Friend, My Love” by K. Brook
The lines of age
will etch
their mark on us
and time
will take
the strength
from our bodies.
But love’s brush
will paint for us
a picture of such beauty,
That a hundred lifetimes
could not remove their glory.
I love…
…that you have reached a point in your life where you want to discover the lost child within. Underneath the layers and layers of adult life lies a great treasure: a little girl who just wants to play.
Widely distributed poem by an author unknown
Laugh your heart out.
Dance in the rain.
Cherish the moment.
Ignore the pain.
Live, laugh, love,
Forgive and forget
Life’s too short to be
Living with regrets.
I love…
…that you are not afraid to tell me what scares you or makes you sad. I am honored to be the one you confide in and lean on as you work through old pain, mistakes and heartaches.

I trust you,
because saying
I trust you
is more special
than saying
I love you.
You can’t always
trust the person
you love,
but you can
always
love a person
you can trust.
I love…
…feeling you in my heart. In that space was nothing for a long time; just barren emptiness. It is good to feel hope there again.
American journalist and author Mignon McLaughlin
Love
unlocks
doors
and
opens
windows
that
weren’t
even
there
before.
I love…
…that recently we began closing emails with “love and kisses”; that became “dove and wishes”; then “bugs and fishes” and so on until we had used up just about every possible rhyming word. I smile each time I think about it.
“Close to the Heart” by American poet Helen Lowrie Marshall
Close to the heart is a secret place
Where dreams are stored away,
And study candles of faith are kept
Against a darker day.
And there, too, are the memories;
The laughter share, the tears,
The little things that mean so much,
Seen through the mist of years.
Out dearest wishes, deepest loves,
The burdens that we bear;
The essence of our being lies
In what we harbor there.
To each his own; a hideaway
That has not counterpart;
The treasure-house of the soul that lies
Somewhere close to the heart.
I love…
…that you want to be the best you have ever been and are willing to do the work to make that happen. Don’t be afraid. I am right here with you.
Indian spiritual teacher, poet and artist Sri Chinmoy
Love is not
A thing to understand.
Love is not
A thing to feel.
Love is not
A thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing
Only to become
And eternally be.
I love…
…that you are focused on improving yourself and resolving your past. In each way you heal and grow, my heart, mind and soul are positively affected simply by being allowed to bear witness to your efforts.
Jamaican singer, songwriter, musician and poet Bob Marley
She loved before
she may love again.
But if she loves you now,
what else matters?
She’s not perfect –
you aren’t either,
and the two of you
may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh,
cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human
and making mistakes,
hold onto her
and give her the most you can.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she’s not there.
I love…
…that you never seem to tire of spending time with me and express your feelings about that openly. To know my presence matters to you that much means a lot to me.
From a poem posted on poemhunter.com by Udiah (witness to Yah)
Soft and warm
Sealed with care
Sweet and kind
Will ever share
Brave and strong
Yet so fair
That is her
She’s always there.
If you meet her
Best Beware
She’ll steal your heart
unaware
Her name is Love
This I swear
There’s none like her
anywhere.
I love…
…how we amuse each other with cute and funny things we write in emails and notes we send each other. It puts real meaning into the song lyric “you make lovin’ fun”.
French Writer Nicolas Chamfort
The
most
wasted
day
is
that
in
which
we
have
not
laughed.
