With Another

My love…
When we go home each day, it is the same place for both of us now. We have merged our lives. I’m happy and believe you are too. May our comfort and contentment grow through good times and the rough spots too.

is our
true
destiny.
We do
not find
the
meaning
of life
by
ourselves
alone…
we find it
with another.

More then One Plus One

My Darling…
We’re very different but a great match. Day by day we grow closer and fall deeper into “like” and “love”. We’re no longer complete apart. You plus me is far more than one plus one.

Adapted from the poem “Take the Chance” by Teseth
310OcphVvULHere are the words
That you long to know
I need you, I love you,
I won’t let you go.
Here are the words
That I long to feel
You need me, you want me
Your love is for real.
To share our true thoughts
We both now must choose
To share all of ourselves;
It’s win or lose.
We’ll both reap rewards
If we just take the chance;
What a remarkable life
You, me, and romance.

A Hundred Hearts

My Darling…
For some, time makes their relationship seem ordinary. They stop doing the special things that caused them to fall in love. You have my promise that every day I’ll do my best to show you the depth of my love in all I do.

Really, Really Good Together

My Darling…
Being with you has broadened my perception of love. It’s build on a foundation of ordinary things like brushing our teeth together, kissing with morning breath and helping each other make dinner. In such commonality the true magic of love grows.

From “The Secret Life of Prince Charming” by Deb Caletti
couple in kitchenEDIT2244 tumblr_inline_mqar9i2fAg1qz4rgpI used to think that finding
the right one was about the man
having a list of certain qualities.
If he has them, we’d be compatible
and happy. Sort of a checkmark
system that was a complete failure.
But I found out that a healthy
relationship isn’t so much about sense
of humor or intelligence or attractive.
It’s about avoiding partners with
harmful traits and personality types.
And then it’s about being with
a good person. A good person
on his own, and a good person
with you. Where the space
between you feels uncomplicated
and happy. A good relationship
is where things just work.
They work because,
whatever the list of qualities,
whatever the reason,
you happen to be
really, really good together.

Different With Every Shore

Sweetheart…
Never has there been a love exactly like ours. Our individual uniqueness, the time we live in and the contents of our hearts and minds shape us. Sharing love with you is wonderful. I never want this to end.

From “Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston
Making-Out edit… love isn’t something
like a grindstone
that’s the same thing
everywhere and does
the same thing to
everything it touches.
Love is like the sea.
It is a moving thing,
but still and all,
it takes its shape
from the shore it meets,
and it’s different
with every shore.

Home Is No Longer A Place

My Love…
Home has become wherever you are. From my heart and all through my body and soul knowing this has become my absolute truth. Home is no longer a place but a feeling that I know only with you by my side.

Lion_Love_by_kijani_lionFrom the song “Home Is Where You’re Happy” by Willie Nelson
Home is where you’re happy
and I’m happy here with you,
Or any place on earth
that you may be.
Home is where you’re happy,
just any house will do,
And I’ll feel at home
as long as you’re with me.

Meant To Be With You

My Love…
In my best dream I was unable to conjure one I could care so much about, who could interest and excite me like you. Through our ups and downs there’s never doubt I am meant to be with you.

From Act 2, Scene 2 Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
Romeo-and-Juliet-4-Vogue-2Oct13-PR_b_646x430My bounty
is as boundless
as the sea,
My love
as deep;
the more
I give to thee,
The more
I have,
for both
are infinite.

Does He?

My Darling…
How do I know you for sure it’s me you want to spend your life with? As the quandary is made, a response echoes back; “you show me in a hundred ways every day how completely your heart is mine.”

From “Slammed” by romance writer Colleen Hoover
C Soren 1 13 -11“Does he treat you with
respect at all times?”
That’s the first question.
The second question is,
“If he is the same person
twenty years from now
that he is today, would you
still want to marry him?”
And finally,
“Does he inspire
you to want to be
a better person?”
You find someone
you can answer yes
about all three,
then you’ve found
a good man.

Every Time

My Love…
Every time you’ve been upset at me or I’ve been at you; every time I’ve hurt you or you’ve hurt me; every time some simple thing has come between us we’ve compromised, made up and our love has become stronger.

British playwright and novelist William Somerset Maugham
dsc-0666editWe are not
the same
persons
this year
as last;
nor are those
we love.
It is a happy
chance if we,
changing,
continue
to love
a changed
person.

What Better Reason

My Darling…
Yesterday you texted “I love you more today than yesterday”. Those words mirror how I feel about you. What a delightful surprise our chance meeting turned into: a growing love that seems unstoppable.

love BBThere’s nothing
I would rather do,
than to grow old
in love with you,
the fun that being
with you brings,
our memories
made of little things,
the talks we have,
the jokes we share,
the hugs, the kisses
here and there…
what better reason
could there be,
to ask you to grow old
in love with me.
