Just As You Are

My Darling…
I accept you for all that you are and all that you are not. I see the goodness of your soul and know its darkness too. Inside out, outside in, top to bottom, fully and completely I love you just as you are.

American romantic fiction writer Nora Roberts

No one’s
ever going
to love you,
stick by you,
understand
how you work
the way I do.

Constantly Between Us

My Darling…
The last three days were a test. We were together constantly for the longest time yet and it was all good. Whether we were busy doing something or just hanging out, love was constantly between us.

Spanish Golden Age poet and writer Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Who Are You?

My Darling…
Day by day I come to know you better. Don’t be afraid. Don’t hesitate. Trust me. All you have to do to let me fall deeper for you is unveil all you kept hidden from the others.

From song “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” by Lee/Wiggins
823Who are you
when I’m not
around?
When the door
is locked
and the shades
are down?
Do you listen
to your music
quietly?
And when it feels
just right,
are you
thinkin’ of me?

Head Over Heels

My Darling…
When we met I thought I loved someone else. When I saw you again, I was convinced you were not my type. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, but little by little I have fallen head over heels in love with you.

Writer, director, actor, comedian, and musician Woody Allen

My Honest Truth

My Darling…
Laying on the bed wrapped up in each other,”I love you” involuntarily fell out of my mouth. Your body tensed up. Thinking my words scared you I added “being with you”. Even though I tried to cover it up, in that instant loving you became my honest truth.

From the novel “Providence” by American writer  Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Insanity

My Darling…
At one moment I think I am losing my mind and at another I feel completely rational. There is so much against us I can’t imagine things working out. But in my beautiful insanity I can’t imagine life letting you and I part either.

French playwright and novelist Françoise Sagan

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
12_portrait_of_indian_coupleWhy do
you love
the woman
you’re in
love with?
Because she is.
And that,
after all,
is God’s own
definition
of Himself;
I am that I am.
The girl is
who she is.

I Knew It

Love…
…came not because of one thing, but because of many. In coming to know you I have discovered so much I like; so much to be glad, even joyful about. If I had custom made you for me, I could not have done a better job.

Spoken by Tom Hanks in the movie “Sleepless In Seattle”

a million

things
that,
when
you

them
all up,

meant
we were
supposed
to be
together…
and
I knew it.

Courage and Understanding

Love…
…is most lasting when served with equal measures of courage and understanding; courage to face the difficulties that will try to tear the lovers apart; understanding so those times don’t succeed.

Italian poet, journalist, novelist and composer Arrigo Boito

All The Barriers Within

Love…
…is the only true “blood” that that keeps people together. It’s stronger than genetics, ancestors, or kin. Love has the power to make “family” of any two people anywhere, anytime.

13th-century Persian Muslim poet and Sufi mystic, Rumi

to seek
and find
all the barriers
within yourself
that you
have built
against it.
