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.

forms,

times,
in life after
life, in age
after age
forever.

Indelibly Stamped

Love…
…was “sugar” to my Grandmother when she was kissed on the cheek. Her smile when one of us kids “gave her some sugar” is indelibly stamped upon my heart. I feel like she must have when you kiss me on my forehead.

From the novel “I Say Who, What and Where!” by Merce Cardus

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.

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.

Most Private Parts of Me

Love…
…deep and true proves I was made for you and you alone. Others have come and gone but always I remained distant. No one ever stole my heart. When you arrived it felt simply natural to throw open the windows of the most private parts of me.

Quote by an unknown/anonymous author
slide-125You can’t
force
someone
to love you;
all you
can do is
become
someone
who can
be loved;
the rest is
up to them.

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

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.

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
76705edit and filtered2I love you
when you’re happy.
I love you

I love you
if you’re angry,
And I love
you if you’re bad.
No matter
how you feel,
I love you
all the time.
Oh my sweet,
dear baby,
I love you
all the time.

Unavoidable Craving

Love…
…puts an unavoidable craving toward another into mind, heart and soul; a thirst only the beloved can quench. Even if two lovers abide for only a time that makes their love no less true and real.

American poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Mary Oliver

man_woman_kiss-1To live
in this world,
you must
be able to do
three things:
to love
what is
mortal;
to hold it
against
your bones
knowing
your life
depends on it;
and when
the time comes,
to let go.

Until the End of Time

Love…
…keeps you close always. You are alive in my heart, constant in my thoughts and permanently mingled with my soul. There is no separate “me” anymore; only you and I; us.

“Have I Ever Told You…” by Gianella Ramirez

Kissing_Couples_Love_Forever12Have 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?

Most Sought After

Love…
…makes everyone a daydreamer either about the love he or she has found or hopes for. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. Loving and being loved is the most sought after prize on Earth.

Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho
I_dream_of_love_by_WildRainOfIceAndFireTell your
heart that
the fear
of suffering
is worse
than the
suffering itself.
And no
heart has
ever suffered
when it
goes in
search of
its dream.
