Nourishment for My Blossoming

My Love…
During the years we’ve shared I have grown far beyond who I used to be. Your love has been fertile ground for my growth; your tenderness the rain that sustained me; your faithfulness the nourishment for my blossoming.

Sacrifice, Determination and Kindness

My Love…
Only with understanding and forgiveness have you and I found the grace of the deep love we share. We both almost gave up in the early days, but we persevered. Love started it all, but sacrifice, determination and kindness kept us together.

From “Juliet Immortal” by writer and actress Stacey Jay
Editorial2_4 LLD three editReal love has little to do
with falling.
It’s a climb up the rocky face
of a mountain, hard work,
and most people are too selfish
or too scared to bother.
Very few reach the critical point
in their relationship that summons
the attention of the light
and the dark, that place
where they will
make a commitment
to love
no matter
what obstacles
or temptations
appear in their path.

Thank You for Saving Me

My Love…
I always thought love was somewhere between a diversion and a sport before I met you. Then I learned how a man who has been the most resistant to love, falls the hardest. I was insanely lost before. Thank you for saving me.

Madly, Deeply and for Always

My Love…
I am constantly touched by the depth of feeling you show me. Your kind way and tender manner is the sweetest affection I have ever known. I love you madly, deeply and for always.

Beyond Mine to Give

My Love…
Was it chance that brought us together, or divine intervention? Were we preordained to meet? Was our fate written in destiny’s book? Such answers are beyond me, but I know I love you with my whole being.

Will You…?

Love…
…is beyond my ability to explain. But without doubt I know I love you. There’s concrete proof in my heart, mind and soul that will take a lifetime to unfold. Will you marry me?

Few Have Seen

Love…
…of a common sort is frequently discovered by those who settle for less than their heart’s desire. I waited, but fear moved in as I aged. When I was about ready to settle for an ordinary love, you stepped into my life.

17th-century French writer Francois de la Rochefoucauld

Love Simply “Is”

Love…
…answers no questions. Love simply “is”. It would not exist between us if we had not taken the time to know each other to the bone. In each discovery of one another there existed the possibility of feast or famine.

From “The Genius and the Goddess” by English writer Aldous Huxley

Because she is.
And that,

I am that I am.
The girl is
who she is.

This Very Moment

Love…
…caught me by surprise when it arrived; when you arrived. From the first time we met I hoped we’d fall in love. I can’t remember life without you. It feels like I have always known you.

American poet, short story writer and novelist X. Williamson

Sought After and Rare

Love…
…needs two. No matter how deeply one person feels about another, it is for naught unless the sentiments are returned in kind. Unrequited love is the all too common state that makes true love so sought after and rare.

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

to form
one.
