Everything You Do

I love…
… when you bring me a second cup of coffee in the morning while I am writing at my desk and then you kiss me on the cheek just before walking away.

From “The Way You Make Me Feel” by Amanda Standridge
You make me
Feel special,
You make me
Feel new,
You make me
Feel loved,
With everything
You do.

Every Time I Think of You

I love…
…how kind you are.  Always you have a quick smile and a good word for just about every one.  The world has more good in it because of you.

Attributed to Claudia Ghandi
If
I had
A single flower
For every time
I think about you,
I could walk forever
In my garden.

Embroidered by Imagination

I love…
…how much I enjoy looking at you, being with you and just enjoying your company.  We never seem to run out of things to talk about.

French writer Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet)
Sometimes
We make love with our eyes.
Sometimes
We make love with our hands.
Sometimes
We make love with our bodies.
Always
We make love with our hearts.
Love is a canvas
Furnished by Nature
And embroidered by imagination.

 

The Spirit of You

I love…
…that when you made the bed last Sunday morning you left a card hidden between the sheets for me to find that night at bedtime.

Elizabeth Barrett to Robert Browning June 19, 1846
… the spirit of you
and the influence of you
are always close to my spirit
when it discerns any beauty
or feels any joy;
if I am happy on any day
it is through you…
whether you are absent
or present,
dearest,
and ever dearest…

Of Sweet Surrender

I love…
…when I open my closet and see your red robe hanging there that you leave for when you stay with me.

From “Passion’s Flames” by Jeffrey Carter
A touch,
Soft and tender.
A whisper,
Full of desire.
A gasp
Of sweet surrender,
As passion
fuels the fire.

A Word Billowing Enough

I love…
…that you are sweet and loving yet high-spirited and passionate.  You’ll always be young at heart!
 
Take from “The Sun” By Mary Oliver
…have you ever felt
for anything
such wild love—
do you think
there is anywhere,
in any language,
a word billowing enough
for the pleasure…

Like I Am Home Again

I love…
…that we have so much in common yet are so very different.  We fit like two side by side jigsaw pieces with one perfectly matching border. 
 
 From “Love Song” by Adele
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you

Your Kind and Caring Ways

I love…
…how considerate you are of people in general and especially of me.  Your kind and caring ways make me feel extraordinarily special and deeply loved.

By Ancient Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu
Being deeply
Loved
By someone
Gives you
Strength.
Loving
Someone
Deeply
Gives you
Courage.

If There Were No Words

I love…
…when we made a comfy ‘bed’ on the floor with an old comforter and a bunch of pillows then watched a movie lying there by the fireplace. 

From song “My Valentine” by Jim Brickman
If there were no words,
No way to speak
I would still hear you.
If there were no tears,
No way to feel inside
I would still feel for you.
And even if the sun
Refused to shine
Even if romance
Ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Until the end of time.
