Unique Presence In A Room

Love…
…shows in the curve of your smile, in the shine in your eyes and in the way you move to be near. You have a special way about you that causes others to easily notice your unique brand of presence in a room.

English musician, singer and songwriter Florence Welch
in the darkenessA falling star
fell from your heart
and landed in my eyes.
I screamed aloud,
as it tore through them,
and now it’s left me blind.
I took the stars from my eyes,
and then I made a map.
And knew that somehow
I could find my way back.
Then I heard your heart beating,
you were in the darkness too.
So I stayed in the darkness with you.

Hearts Soar With Delight

Love…
…amplifies everything! Good times become better. Heartbreak becomes worse. Happiness becomes more joyful. Abandonment becomes utter grief. When those in love are irresponsible, hearts crash in misery. But when loved ones behave with wisdom, hearts soar with delight.

Adapted from a thought written by an author unknown
Every time
I miss you,
a star falls.
So if you ever
look up at the sky
and the stars
are gone,
it’s because
I miss you
too much!

In My Wildest Dreams

Love…
…brings hope of going forward with another; ageless ahead into time. Love expands horizons, widens dreams and causes the imagination to conjure thoughts a person would almost never think of alone.

From the song “Wildest Dreams” by Peter Bliss and Todd Cerney
In my wildest dreams,
you
always
play
the hero.
In my darkest
hour
of
night,
you rescue me,
you save my life.

The Power of Love

Love…
…is the answer to the question: “What is the most powerful force on Earth? Every human and everything he or she does is shaped by love’s abundance or its lack.

From the song “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis And The News
The power of love is a curious thing,
Make a one man weep,
make another man sing.
Change a hawk to a little white dove,
More than a feeling that’s the power of love.
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl’s dream,
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night.
You don’t need money, don’t take fame
Don’t need no credit card to ride this train.
It’s strong and it’s sudden
and it’s cruel sometimes,
But it might just save your life.
That’s the power of love.

Strength In What Remains

Love…
…cares not that we come from different places, that our life experience has been different or that we have decades of living already behind us. What matters is how we are alike, what we might share and the amount of life left to be lived in front of us.

English romantic and philosophical poet William Wordsworth
That though the radiance
which was once so bright
be now forever taken
from my sight.
Though nothing
can bring back the hour
of splendor in the grass;
glory in the flower.
We will grieve not,
rather find strength
in what remains behind.

Frozen In Time

Love…
…can reach through time as if a year is a day. First true loves never fade and though decades may pass the one who first found their way into a heart remains safe there: a young teenage face perfectly clear in mind; frozen in time.

American fiction writer of seven novels Elizabeth Noble
Before
we
belonged
to
anyone
else,
we
were
each
other’s.

Patiently Waits

Love…
…comes through the miles clearly when I’m away. It’s a soothing comfort that gives me strength to know someone cares, hopes for my safety and patiently waits for my return.

An anonymous quote by a writer unknown
Let
love
come
to you.
Be patient.
In
fairy tales
they don’t
find each
other until
the last page.

Tell Them

Love…
…is two dimensional until spoken. You can love with all your heart but until you tell the person you care about how you feel something is lacking. It’s like the different between a black and white photograph and one in color.

Saying by an anonymous author
If
you
love
someone
tell them,
for hearts
are often
broken by
words left
unspoken.

Receptive To Being Loved

Love…
…comes in a less complicated manner as I become wiser with age. Love has not changed. It is the receiver (me) that is different. My thinking is simpler, my heart more open and my spirit less guarded.

Verse from an old greeting card by Helen Steiner Rice
I’d like to be a rain drop
Just Falling on your hand,
I’d like to be a blade of grass
On which you dear feet stand,
I’d like to be your shadow
As it moves around all day,
I’d like to be most anything
That hangs around your way.

Fastened With Great Strength

Love…
…spans distance.  If you are across town or we are separated by thousands of miles, the same sun will shine on both of us; the same moon will be in the night sky we see. It’s a simple connection fastened with great strength.

American psychiatrist and author David Viscott
To
love
and
be
loved,
is to
feel
the
Sun
from
both
sides.
