Love…
…is fertile soil for hope and belief. Upon such things trust can thrive. With you it’s easier than ever before to entrust my deepest thoughts and most profound feelings.
American writer and poet Jamie Delere
I trust you
with my secrets,
and you now know
that you can trust me
with yours.
This sharing…
This special sharing…
is one of the nicest dimensions
my life has ever known.
Love…
…is the lubricant of life. Love allows joy to come faster and grief pass more quickly. It is in the knowing that one is loved that the soul is empowered, the mind is eased and the body is strengthened. The gift of your love gives me meaning to those words.
From “All The Things I Love About You” by Joanna Fuchs
I love you
for the warm,
sweet affection
in your eyes
whenever
you look at me,
and
the special smile
you save
only for me…
Love…
… IS! That says what I feel clearer than any quantity of words can.
Brazilian lyricist and novelist Pablo Coelho
Regardless of whether we love
once,
twice,
or
a dozen times
in our life,
we always face a brand-new situation.
Love can send us to hell or paradise,
but it always takes us somewhere.
We simply have to accept it,
because it is what nourishes our existence…
Love…
…is a spark in my heart from knowing someone cares about me as I really am. You know of the light of my goodness and of the darkness of my wickedness yet gladly, still we “are”.
From “Divan-e Shams” by Rumi translated R. A. Nicholson
Through Love
all that is bitter will be sweet.
Through Love
all that is copper will be gold.
Through Love
all dregs will turn to purest wine.
Through Love
all pain will turn to medicine.
Through Love
the dead will all become alive.
Through Love the
king will turn into a slave!
Love…
…is a voice that gives comfort; the touch of a hand that encourages; eye contact that speaks without words and a hundred other things you do that tell me you care.
American poet and author Oliver Wendell Holmes
The
sound
of a kiss
is not
so loud
as that
of a cannon,
but
its echo lasts
a great deal longer.
Love…
…does not always shout its presence or create a swirl of passion. Some of its best moments are quietly satisfying. There is no greater comfort than being your ordinary self with someone you love.
Saying by a writer unknown
Meeting you
was fate;
becoming
your friend
was a choice,
but falling
in love
with you
was beyond
my control.
Love…
…is the knowing you’ll be there if I need you to comfort me in times of sadness, care for me if I am sick, encourage me if I am down or just sit quietly with me and let time pass.
Thought by German philologist Max Muller
A flower
cannot blossom
without sunshine,
and man
cannot live
without love.
Love…
…is the peace of mind from knowing you will be there to help if I ask. Whether for ten minutes, a whole day or longer I know without doubt I can depend on you.
Taken from a poem of an unknown original source
I know that I can always count on you
To be there when I need someone
To give their best advice.
I know that I can always count on you
When I need someone
To help me make things right.
I know that I can always count on you
To be there when I need someone
To lend a helping hand.
I know that I can always count on you
To be there when I need someone
To truly understand.
Love…
…is many things: the invitations you give me even when I can’t accept; the caring thoughts you write that seem to come when I need them most; the sweetness felt when we hug; and gratitude for your kindness I feel but can’t fully express.
From “Beautiful Dreamer” by Stephen Foster
Beautiful dreamer,
wake unto me,
Starlight
and
dewdrops
are waiting for thee;
Sounds
of the rude world
heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight
have all pass’d a way!
I love…
…my life and having you as a part of it. As flowers paint splendor on the landscape your presence adds color to my existence.
German psychologist and philosopher Eric Fromm
Love is
the only
sane
and
satisfactory
answer
to the problem
of human existence.
