A Calm Blue Sky

Love…
…is a rising sun whose warmth every heart desires. For some it becomes injured by storms of difference. Others will know ups and downs like those on a partly cloudy day. And for a blessed few, love rises like a single cloud and rests in calm blue sky regardless of what happens.

American romantic fiction writer Nicholas Sparks

It’s gonna
be really hard.
We’re gonna
have to work
at this every day,
but I want to do that
because I want you.
I want all of you,
forever,
you and me,
every day…

As Long As We Live

Love…
…keeps memories of you fresh in my heart. One is lucky to feel even once how deeply I felt about you; still do. As long as we live I will never give up hope that one day we will be together again.

Small Expressions of Affection

Love…
…is the practice of a quick kiss in parting, a hug each time back together or holding hands walking together. Many repeats of small expressions of affection keep love strong and thriving.

that real love
is millions

past falling
in love
with anyone
or anything.
When you
make that one
effort to feel
compassion
instead
of blame
or self-blame,
the heart
opens again
and continues
opening.

Simultaneous Contentment and Adventure

Love…
…causes me to see you in my own special way. You are beautiful and special like sun and rain at the same time; like day and night all at once; simultaneous contentment and adventure without boundaries.

Irish Poet and Nobel Prize winner William Butler Yeats
Sunshine-and-rainTrue love is
a discipline
in which
each divines
the secret self
of the other
and refuses
to believe
in the mere
daily self.

Whether We Want It To Or Not

Love…
…never forgets. It is always remembered. When true love comes it carves out a space deep within us that will forever remain whether we want it to or not.

From the book “Different Directions” by Donna L. Jones
-JESSI~1Your sweet
scent will
forever be
with me,
reminding me
of the love
we once
shared.
I will
breathe in
the memories
until we
meet again.

For Good or Naught

Love…
…frequently does not allow a person to know when and where it really began. It accumulates like water filling a lake behind a damn. Then one day it starts to spill over, for good or naught.

American writer and philosopher Richard Bach

Hold Dear Every Morsel

Love…
…is not easy, most often lasting for too short of a time. That makes it no less meaningful. There is no failure. Every bit of love felt and received matters. Hold dear every morsel for the precious gift it is.

American poet and blogger Coco J. Ginger
272 EDITI say this to you now:
I love you, with no beginning,
no end. I love you as you have
become an extra necessary
organ in my body.
I love you as only a girl
could love a boy.
Without fear.
Without expectations.
Wanting nothing in return,
except that you allow me
to keep you here in my heart,
that I may always know your strength,
your eyes, and your spirit
that gave me freedom and let me fly.

Perfect To Me

Love…
…looks past most imperfection and focuses away from fault. The mind does the opposite. So, I don’t think about you much and choose instead to just feel you in my heart. There you are near perfect.

French poet, novelist, and dramatist Victor Hugo

Stirs My Soul

Love…
…was new those two summers you visited your grandparents for a few weeks. Young as we were, our hearts found love for the first time. Holding hands, hugging and kissing was never more pure and innocent. Remembering stirs my soul.

Same Thing At the Same Time

Love…
…has me dreaming about you. Most every night there are moments I share with you while sleep has its grip on me. Some feel very real. I suspect you are dreaming the same thing at the same time I am.
