Searching for the True

Sweetheart…
Loving you was never a choice. Knowing you first as a friend held my heart open so it could be almost unknowingly filled with you. I overflowed with love for you almost before I was aware of the emotion.

Scottish poet, novelist and translator, Edwin Muir
reimagining-my-lifeYes, yours, my love,
is the right human face.
I, in my mind
had waited for this long.
Seeing the false
and searching for the true,
Then found you
as a traveler
finds a place of welcome
suddenly
amid the wrong
valleys and rocks
and twisting roads.

Magic In Your Eyes

Sweet One…
Could you be her; “the one” for the rest of my life? Why do I feel this strong pull toward someone I barely know? I am enticed by simply the possibility. Just looking at your photo I find magic in your smile and adventure in your eyes.

From the book “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert
mystery-woman 01Happiness is the consequence
of personal effort.
You fight for it,
strive for it,
insist upon it,
and sometimes even travel
around the world looking for it.
You have to participate relentlessly
in the manifestations
of your own blessings.
And once you have achieved
a state of happiness, you must never
become lax about maintaining it.
You must make a mighty effort
to keep swimming upward
into that happiness forever,
to stay afloat on top of it.”

Absolutely Certain

My Love…
We broke up. Months passed, but neither of us got over the other. Something strong pulled us back toward each other. We’re both cautious now of what might happen, but I know I love you. I’m absolutely certain of that.

One of my favorite writers, poets and philosophers, C. JoyBell C.
love on fire 01They say a good love is one
that sits you down,
gives you a drink of water,
and pats you on top of the head.
But I say a good love is one
that casts you into the wind,
sets you ablaze, makes you burn
through the skies and ignite the night
like a phoenix; the kind
that cuts you lose like a wildfire
and you can’t stop running simply
because you keep on burning everything
that you touch!
I say that’s a good love;
one that burns and flies,
and you run with it!

Your Smile Radiates

Sweet One…
Whenever I am with you, it is like having my emotional batteries recharged with joy. Your smile radiates into me. Your touch sends little shivers through my body. Your presence pleases my mind and your soul pours peace on mine.

From “Safe Haven” by writer and Film Producer Nicholas Sparks
love love ying_and_yang_by_DeepinswimnarrowShe wasn’t
exactly sure
when it
happened.
Or even when
it started.
All she knew
for sure
was that right
here and now,
she was
falling hard
and she could
only pray
that he
was feeling
the same way.

The BIG Love

Sweetheart…
I thought my love for you was as big as it could get, but I was wrong. Sharing life with you everyday has filled my heart beyond what it ever could hold before. You are the BIG love of my life.

From K.D. Lang song “Big Big Love” by Wynn/Carroll
U372419_doug_hyde_big_hearted_creative_art_gallery_oxford_woodstock_oxfordshire_newwebOh can’t you feel
my love a’growin,
Can’t you feel it,
Ain’t it showin,
Oh you must be knowin,
I got a big big love.
It’s not the type
to be concealing,
It’s the type to be revealing,
Oh, you must be feeling,
I got a big big love.
This is not infatuation,
It’s true love’s sensation,
It’s not my imagination,
I got a big big love For you.

A Little Bit of Heaven

My Darling…
Feelings overflow. I love you. I love you. I’m happy in a way I’ve never felt before. Uncertainty doesn’t slow me. Doubt is unable to stop me. God shared a little of heaven by putting a lasting flame in our hearts for each other.

American clergyman, reformer, speaker and Henry Ward Beecher
35-couple-walking-away-willow-tree-dusk-dramaticLove cannot
endure
indifference.
It needs to
be wanted.
Like a lamp,
it needs to
be fed out
of the oil
of another’s
heart,
or its flame
burns low.

Highly Desirable Malfunction

My Love…
Last night we laughed until we couldn’t laugh anymore. We have such good times together. It keeps getting better. I never knew being in love could be this much fun!

Quote by an author unknown – anonymous
couple-laughing-in-bed-smiling-happpy-funny 01Love – a wildly
misunderstood
although highly
desirable
malfunction
of the heart
which weakens
the brain,
causes eyes
to sparkle,
cheeks to glow,
blood pressure
to rise and
the lips to pucker.

I Will Show You

My Darling…
I promise you with certainty I will love you always. If you treat me kindly; show your feelings openly; don’t violate our trust and keep no secrets I will show you my love through my last breath.

Even With All the Doubts

My Darling…
I can be yours, always, through the sunny days and the dark ones; times of good health and bad; fun times and troubled ones. Be faithfully mine and I will never give you a reason to doubt my love.

Without Any Doubt

My Sweet Baby…
There are times when the simplest expression says the most. Without any doubt, “I love you’… forever.

American poet and author Coco J. Ginger
kiss-1 copyIn love there are no
‘buts’ or ‘if’s’ or ‘when’.
It’s just there, and always.
No beginning, no end.
It’s the condition-less
state of the heart.
Not a feeling that comes
and goes at the whim
of the emotions.
It is there in our heart,
a part of our heart…
eventually grafting itself
into each limb and cell
of our bodies.
Love changes our brain,
the way we move and talk.
Love lives in our spirit
and graces us with its presence
each day, until death.
