A Detailed Witness to the Others Life

Love…
…is getting photos from you on a far away holiday and reading the words of excitement you have in sharing them with me. One of the best things about loving and being loved is each becomes a witness to the details of the others life.

Author, Artist and Singer-Songwriter Kelli Jae Baeli
The trust and longevity
of a relationship
between two individuals
is established through time
and learning each other,
and discovering a harmony
at the core of their connection.
And it becomes powerful
because of where it resides;
at the center of who we are;
the very essence of our being.

Love Is Eternal

Love…
…felt for someone in the past never completely fades away. It may be injured, hidden, ignored, diminished or locked away but it never completely dies as long as one breathes.

English novelist, short story writer E.M. Forster
It isn’t possible
to love and part.
You will wish
that it was.
You can
transmute love,
ignore it, muddle it,
but you can never
pull it out of you.
I know by experience
that the poets are right:
love is eternal.

Echoes of Our Last Embrace

Love…
…retains its substance through distance and time when we are separated. To hear your voice I only have to close my eyes. Then I remember something sweet you said to me and feel the echoes of our last embrace.

American author and novelist Jacqueline Carey
There is no
fulfillment
that is
not made
sweeter
for the
prolonging
of desire.

Jagged and Irregularly Drawn

Love…
…is not a straight line between two people. It is a connection jagged and irregularly drawn. Only with open communication and truth do the crooked lines of adoration not trip and twist the two apart.

From “Have I Ever Told You” by Gianella Ramirez
Have I ever
told you
when
the soft wind
caresses my face
I think it is you,
blowing me
sweet kisses
from where
you stand?

Hearts In the Same Place

Love…
…makes it plain that even though we are hundreds of miles apart, our hearts are in the same place: mine with you and yours with me.

Saying from an unknown source
Distance…
It’s just
a test
of how
far love
can travel.

To Recognize Love

I love…
…that when I wake up in the morning a thought of you finds me soon after. Mentally I say “good morning” every time with hope the day is kind to you.

Contemporary Slovenian poet and artist Jaka Zeleznikar
It’s so easy,
To think about Love,
To Talk about Love,
To wish for Love,
But it’s not always easy,
To recognize Love,
Even when we hold it
In our hands.”
