Strong and Lasting

Love…
…appears quickly, but grows slowly. Only when tested by time, circumstance and destiny can it reach its potential. Like an acorn quick to sprout, love takes years and years to grow strong and lasting.

American romance and fantasy author Phyllis Christine Cast (P.C. Cast)

It happens only
when the souls
of two join
together
to form one.

Filled With Feelings

Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.

From the novel “Impulse” by American writer and poet Ellen Hopkins

My Rainbow

Love…
…keeps you close in mind and heart. Although I can no longer reach out and touch you, I feel you close by. As long as I live your life will continue. Long ago I ceased to be able to have any boundary between who I was and am now because of you.

From “Before You Go…” book series by Canadian writer Vensa Bailey

Life After Life

Love…
…for you felt familiar from moment I began to fall for you. It didn’t feel like a new spark, but rather a dormant one I had been carrying my whole life. A sleeping ember was only waiting for me to meet you so it could be awakened to set fire in my heart.

I Day Dream of You

Love…
…oh, my love of long ago, please don’t select your words cautiously or second guess sharing your feelings. You are there. I am here. That’s where life placed us. Our real and true selves are the only gifts we have to give one another.

From a poem titled “Daydream” by Cassie McNair
DaydreamDust-slider-700x466EDITWhenever I day dream,
and day dream I do,
in my secret garden,
I day dream of you.
I day dream of you,
in a faraway land;
embracing me tight
and holding my hand.
Holding my hand,
and touching my face.
Just you and me,
in this peaceful place.

Until the End of Time

Love…
… taught me the day you stole my heart, I would always love you. Without a doubt that will always be true. My love for you will out live me for at least a hundred years; maybe two…

From the poem”Have I Ever Told You” by Gianella Ramirez
middleAgedCouple EDITHave I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and, somehow, I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?

Fired By A Passion New

Love…
…causes goose bumps every time we begin to kiss. My lips touching yours sets off a chain reaction within I can not explain, but accept openly as love deep and true fired by a passion new in its strength and vigor.

A poem titled “Peace” by Robert Byers
MarriageAmendmentinNorthCarolinaLike water
rushing down a hill
Laughing,
singing on its way
Like sunlight
over windowsill
Heralding
dawning of the day
Our love sprang
quickly into life
Growing stronger
as we went
And since you
said you’d be my wife
Evermore I’ll be content.

Never Grow Old

Love…
…has blessed us with its power and held you and me together through all the years we have shared. You are as much a part of me as my right hand and far more important.

American author, motivations speaker and professor Leo Buscaglia
vacation08editLove can never
grow old.
Locks may
lose their
brown and gold.
Cheeks may fade
and hollow grow.
But the hearts
that love
will know,
never winter’s
frost and chill,
summer’s warmth
is in them still.

Many Kinds of Love

Love…
…means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost. Love like energy can not be created or destroyed. Once it is, love always is.

From “Anna Karenina by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy
shadow heart…if it is
true that
there are
as many
minds as
there are
heads, then
there are
as many
kinds of love
as there
are hearts.

My Heart Is Reborn

Love…
…is never the same day-to-day, just as clouds are unique in every morning sky. Knowing this, and expecting it, makes my love for you ever new and exciting. Each morning I wake in your arms my heart is reborn.

From “Starlet’s Run” by Romance and fiction writer Carla Hanna
