The Biggest Piece

My Darling…
In the difficult moments is when loves proves itself truest. We have faced challenges that a weaker relationship would have faltered under, but we became closer. Tested love that endures strengthens with each trial.

American fiction writer of eleven novels Sarah Dessen
WwW_IRAQNA1_CoM (45)No relationship is perfect, ever.
There are always some ways
you have to bend,
to compromise,
to give something up in order
to gain something greater…
The love we have
for each other is bigger
than these small differences.
And that’s the key.
It’s like a big pie chart,
and the love in a relationship
has to be the biggest piece.
Love can make up for a lot.

Holiness of the Hearts Affections

My Darling…
To love is meaningful. To be loved means more. But to be loved by the person I love brings everything: joy, understanding, forgiveness, passion, friendship, tenderness and devotion.

Just As You Are

My Darling…
There are things about you I love that I wouldn’t find attractive in anyone else. Your nose is crooked. You’ve lost most of your hair. You snort when you laugh. Just as you are is the way I love you.

From the book “Different Directions…” by Donna L. Jones

when the
sound of
your partner’s
snoring lulls
you to sleep,
and it acts
as a reminder
that they are
there by
your side.

Fresh to My Lips

My Love…
I remember how kissing you for the first time felt. I put my arms around you and we were a perfect fit. I did not want to let go. Today your kiss still feels as fresh to my lips and letting you out of my arms has never become easy.

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.

can open
ourselves to it.

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.
