Show You Instead

My Love…
Often I try to find words to convey the depth of my feelings. Try as hard as I do, my discovery has been there is no language that can adequately express how much I love you. So I’ll keep trying to show you instead.

From “So Much Closer” by America Novelist Susane Colosanti
10Love-Sweet-LoveOne of the most
amazing things
that can happen
is finding someone
who sees everything
you are and won’t let
you be anything less.
They see the potential
of you. They see endless
possibilities. And through
their eyes, you start to see
yourself the same way
as someone who matters.
As someone who
can make a difference
in the world.

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?

Made More Perfect

Love…
…is a harsh teacher, but I bear no malice toward cupid’s mistaken arrows. Each grinding of my heart molded it to be ready for you. Through pain and heartbreak I was softened and made more perfect in my ability to love you.

What a Ride!

Love…
…is filled with surprises. I have no idea of when I went from simply beginning to fall in love with you to being head over heels, completely, absolutely and totally in love with you. Wow, what a ride!

Not a Chance

Love…
…is a little crazy. Falling in love is like jumping off a high cliff. Your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly.

Through My Eyes

Love…
…causes me to see you as I have never seen anyone else. I see your imperfections, yet know you are perfect for me. As they are now and always have been since we were children, my feelings will never change.

Anonymous saying by a writer unknown
tumblr_lvp7eoKJmg1r6va9so1_500If I
could
give you
one thing
in life,
I would
give you
the ability
to see
yourself
through
my eyes.
Only then
would
you
realize
how
special
you are
to me.

Shouts Its Name Silently

Love…
…is easy to spot when real and true. There’s an invisible glow about a loving couple in good and bad times. Such love can’t be faked. Genuine and faithful hearted love shouts it name silently.

From “The Name of the Wind” by American writer Patrick Rothfuss
slowdanceMy parents
danced together,
her head
on his chest.
Both had
their eyes closed.
They seemed so
perfectly content.
The image of them
gently swaying
to the music
is how
I picture love
in my mind
even after
all these years.

When You’re Away

Love…
…fills me when a man walks by wearing your cologne. I think of that scent as yours alone and never quite right on anyone else. Did you know when you’re away I go to sleep on your pillow so I can smell you?

Happy and In Love

Love…
…has broken the lock on my heart. You have slipped past all the barriers with hardly any effort and defeated my old heartaches. You have awakened me from sleep walking through life to find myself happy and in love.

All Depths Possible

Love…
…thrives within. I have seen the best and worst of you and I choose both. Deep and completely, I want to know you to all depths possible and be fully known to you the same way.

Anonymous quote from the heart by an unknown writer
Newly-Married-Couple-Walking-Along-BeachWhat would
it be like
to swing
on a star,
or walk on
a cloud?
Would it be
anything
like what
I feel
whenever
you are near?
