Contents of the Heart

Love…
…satisfies shortage and satiates lack, not by making need disappear but by causing scarcity to matter less. The presence of love makes its receiver more complete and whole without anything but the contents of the heart changing.

A composite made from several versions written by unknown writers
??????????????????????????????????You are…
The peanut to my butter,
Water to my ocean,
Glaze on my donut,
Spring in my step,
Twinkle in my eye,
Blue in my sky,
Cherry on my sundae,
Flip to my flop,
Milk to my shake,
Sweet in my dreams,
Jewel on my crown,
Spring in my step,
And beat of my heart.

The Richest Part

Love…
…sweet and tender is the pinnacle of affection. Even greater than the fire that passion can burn between two people, gentle tenderness is the richest part of loving and being loved.

weakness
and despair, but
manifestations
of strength
and resolution.

Never the Same

Love…
…is shapeless, yet filled with substance. It is high and wide, but has no specific form. Love is always love, yet the experience of it is never the same for any two people.

Saying found randomly on searchquotes.com
new love rules editThe best kind of relationships
begin unexpectedly;
when you get
the astonished feeling
and everything happens
so suddenly.
That’s why
you don’t look for love.
It comes to you
just at the right time;
the time you never thought
it would have.

Comforting Shade of Another’s Soul

Love…
…can be denied, but remains true. It can be outrun, but only for a time. Love shines even in darkness and through time. It is the solace found in a kiss, a hug and an embrace. Love is the comforting shade of another’s soul.

From a letter by Magdalene to Willie posted on lovingyou.com 
comfort of loveI know
there’s an ocean
between us,
and I wish
that it weren’t true,
for every day
when I arise,
I yearn to be with you.
Though a lot of distance
lies between us,
you’ll always be
in my mind and my heart,
And every night
beneath the stars,
I pray for the day
we’ll never be part.

Never Dies

Love…
…continues immemorial. Like a light shined into the heavens love goes on and on, a continuum extended far beyond ability to comprehend or know. Love never dies.

British author of 17th century literature, Aphra Behn
shooting-star editAs love
is the most noble
and divine passion
of the soul,
so is it that to which
we may justly attribute
all the real
satisfactions of life,
and without it,
man is unfinished,
and unhappy.

King and Queen of All Emotions

Love…
… has no envy of other emotions. It is King and Queen of all feelings. Hate has no chance to survive in its presence. Selfishness melts away. Love is pure truth invisible; absolute power unseen.

Irish writer and poet Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde
couple shadowThe consciousness
of loving
and being loved
brings a warmth
and richness
to life
that
nothing
else
can
bring.

Extravagant and Bold

Love…
… of youth is extravagant and bold with feelings fresh and new. Both captivating and confusing is the arrival of first love: a beautiful paradox.

From Young Love by American lyrical poet Sara Teasdale
name in the sandI wrote his name along the beach,
I love the letters so.
Far up it seemed and out of reach,
For still the tide was low.
But oh, the sea came creeping up,
And washed the name away,
And on the sand where it had been
A bit of sea-grass lay.
A bit of sea-grass on the sand,
Dropped from a mermaid’s hair —
Ah, had she come to kiss his name
And leave a token there?

Lives In Perpetuity

Love…
…is proof of eternity; it confounds all notions of time; effaces all memory of beginning, all fear of an end. Loving well is the highest achievement of human existence and lives in perpetuity.

Quote origin unknown – author anonymous
heart-the 6th senseDear
my heart,
I wish I can be
as strong
as you.
No matter
how many
times you’ve
been broken,
you still beat
and love.

Hearts Soar With Delight

Love…
…amplifies everything! Good times become better. Heartbreak becomes worse. Happiness becomes more joyful. Abandonment becomes utter grief. When those in love are irresponsible, hearts crash in misery. But when loved ones behave with wisdom, hearts soar with delight.

Adapted from a thought written by an author unknown
Every time
I miss you,
a star falls.
So if you ever
look up at the sky
and the stars
are gone,
it’s because
I miss you
too much!

In My Wildest Dreams

Love…
…brings hope of going forward with another; ageless ahead into time. Love expands horizons, widens dreams and causes the imagination to conjure thoughts a person would almost never think of alone.

From the song “Wildest Dreams” by Peter Bliss and Todd Cerney
In my wildest dreams,
you
always
play
the hero.
In my darkest
hour
of
night,
you rescue me,
you save my life.
