I love…
…the calm look in your face and the growing peace around you. It easy to see that you enjoy life more than you ever have. That magic rubs off on others including me.
By Morris Schwartz (subject of the book “Tuesdays with Morrie”)
The most
important thing
in life
is to
learn how
to give
out love,
and to
let it
come in.
I love…
…watching you interact with others when you don’t know I’m watching. Seeing you talk, laugh, tear up and share with those you trust is refreshing in its honesty.
From “No Man is an Island” by Thomas Merton
The beginning of love
is the will to let those we love
be perfectly themselves,
the resolution not to twist them
to fit our own image.
If in loving them
we do not love
what they are, but only
their potential likeness to ourselves,
then we do not love them:
we only love the reflection
of ourselves we find in them
The number of readers each day for LoveLetterDaily.com has exceeded anything I could have ever anticipated. Hundreds, if not thousands come here each day to read about the joy of love and the many rewarding faucets of loving and being loved. People from 72 countries visit here regularly. Thank you for your support! Love truly is the universal language.
Many are happily in love, but there are also some suffering broken hearts who find companionship in knowing others suffer just as they are. For those I have created a new blog as another gift to the world (see just below). The joy in giving comes back multiplied to the giver.

I love…
…to hear you hum or sing along like you do sometimes when you’re listening to music. I am glad you aren’t shy and are comfortable doing it around me.
From “Love Song” By Mary Carolyn Davies
There is a strong wall
about me to protect me:
It is built of the words
you have said to me.
There are swords
about me to keep me safe:
They are the kisses
of your lips.
Before me goes a shield
to guard me from harm:
It is the shadow
of your arms
between me and danger.
I love…
…how thoughtful and kind you are to your family. I hope they know how blessed they are to have you!

Women are like apples on trees,
the best ones are on the top of the tree.
Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones
because they are afraid of falling
and don’t want to get hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren’t so good but easy.
So, the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them,
when in reality they are amazing.
They just have to wait
for the right man to come along,
the one who’s brave enough to climb
all the way to the top because they value quality.
I love…
… while walking together how our hands naturally find each other without having to look down or even think about it.
From “The Clod & the Pebble” by William Blake
Love seeketh not
itself to please,
Nor for itself
hath any care;
But for another
gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven
in Hell’s despair.
I love…
…talking with you. We rarely run out of conversation. There is always something more to share our thoughts and feelings about. Love not only opens hearts; it opens minds too!

Love is not how you forget
but how you forgive.
Not how you listen
but how you understand.
Not what you see
but what you feel
And not how you let go
but how you hold on.
I love…
…that you have a mature but childlike tendency to get excited when discovering new things. It is beautiful and endearing to see the sparkle all about you then.
“I Fell In Love” by Andy Hughes
Ever since I met you,
I’ve had these feelings deep inside,
mainly when you hold me,
and look into my eyes,
you make me feel so young again,
and give me feelings I’d forgot,
you make me feel so happy,
with cupids arrow I’ve been shot.
I love…
…the feeling about you that is inside me. I though such emotion would never come again and am grateful my thinking has been proven wrong.
From “I Thought I Must Give Up On Life” By Nicholas Gordon
I thought I must give up on life
And turn into a stone;
The desert wind quite suited me:
No heart, no mind–just bone.
I laughed at people still in love
Who trusted someone’s word;
To make my happiness depend
On faith seemed quite absurd.
I lay alone and wonder-struck,
Sleepless in my bed,
Still numb, still dumb…ice cold,
Not knowing I was dead.
And then you came and shone upon
My meadow full of snow,
And saw the flowers only love
Could recognize and grow.
I love…
…standing behind you close, nuzzling my face in your hair and smelling the sweetness that is uniquely you.
Greek Writer and Dramatist Sophocles
One word
frees us
of all
the weight
and pain
of life:
That word is love.
