I love…
…that you care enough to give me space to work through things on my own the way I need to. That you are understanding and wise enough to give me room to think brings loving gratitude into my heart.
Credited to both Henry David Thoreau and Nathaniel Hawthorne
Happiness
is like a butterfly:
the more
you chase it,
the more
it will elude you,
but if you
turn your attention
to other things,
it will come
and sit softly
on your shoulder.
I love…
…that you are not afraid to admit to me when you feel vulnerable or fearful. Knowing that does not come easy for you makes me know all the more how much you trust me.
American Painter, Writer, and Naturalist Walter “Bob” Anderson
We’re
never
so vulnerable
than when we
trust
someone
but paradoxically,
if we
cannot
trust,
neither can
we find
love
or joy
I love…
…being at home when it rains and hearing thunder knowing that just a few miles away you’re hearing the same sounds of the storm where you live.
Origin Unknown – Writer Anonymous
Before you,
I saw the same
sea, sky and hills
and didn’t know
you lived and breathed
on this sweet planet.
But now,
having met and loved you,
I cannot walk this earth
knowing you
are where I am not.
I love…
…that you send me an email most nights just before heading go to bed. Knowing you fall asleep with fresh thoughts of me to start dreaming with expresses your love in a way words alone can not express.
American playwright, screenwriter and novelist Marsha Norman
Dreams
are
illustrations
from
the
book
your
soul
is
writing
about
you.
I love…
…sitting in a restaurant with you eating, talking, laughing and wasting time together. We never lack for something to talk about and time passes effortlessly. There is a warm comfort in being with you; a richly joyful feeling.
From ” I Love Being Loved By You” – Anonymous
My life overflows with happiness
As my favorite dreams come true.
My days and nights are magical
Because of everything you do.
You stand by me as troubles occur
And listen to my worries and fears.
You share my burdens and my joys
With faith, compassion and tears.
I love…
…when you send a card or note to me through the mail. Having the postman deliver anything other than bills or credit card applications is rare. Receiving a card saying you love me: Priceless!
Philosopher and Theologian Saint Augustine
Since
love
grows
within
you,
so beauty grows.
For
love
is
the
beauty
of the soul.
I love…
…how interested you always are in what I do, think and hope for. The way you encourage me to go after my dreams makes me stronger than I am by myself.
19th Century American Writer David Henry Thoreau
There
is
no
remedy
for
love
but
to
love
more.
I love…
…that you are strong yet sensitive; emotionally astute but not sentimentally burdened; fully sentient and awake to life; a good example of one doing their best to live imperfect perfection well.
From “Marilyn” by Marilyn Monroe
Imperfection
is beauty,
madness
is genius
and it’s better to be
absolutely ridiculous
than absolutely boring.
I love…
…the tenderness of your touch and how well you express yourself so clearly to me that way without ever uttering a word.
Credited to the Greek Philosopher Plato
At
the
touch
of
love
everyone
becomes
a
poet.
I love…
…feeling you hug me especially after I have not seen you for a while. The way you hold me close for a long while says more than pages of words can say.
Actions Speak Louder Than Words by Audrey Heller
It’s not what you say,
it’s the things you do,
that makes someone feel
confident in you.
Those of you, who feel
listening to nice words is
quite important.
At some point, I’d have to agree.
However, to be able to show
how you feel by your actions,
well now….
that speaks louder to me!
