Love…
…requires only a small degree of hope to begin. Without at least a little hope love becomes a small thing we plan on having sometime, somewhere that never has a chance to take root and prosper.
Irish novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Bowen
When you
love
someone,
all your
saved-up
wishes
start
coming
out.
Love…
…is an elixir for life. A dose can temper sadness; give strength to the sick; lend hope to the hopeless and help a broken heart to feel again. All this and more I have felt since love brought us together.
A group of sayings about love assembled into a poem
Insanity and love are very much alike;
you’re crazy in both states.
Love can make you do things
that you never thought possible!
Because something won’t last forever,
doesn’t mean it can’t last a lifetime.
Love brings tears to our eyes;
yet it also brings smiles upon our lips.
Love looks not with the eyes,
but with the heart and soul!
When I say I love you,
I mean I accept you the way you are
and I expect the same from you.
You need trust to love,
but first you need to love in order to trust.
Be true to love,
and love will be true to you.
Love…
…can not be owned for it is the owner; love can not be possessed for it is the possessor; love can not be a slave for it is the master. To be in control of love is as impossible as directing the sky to do one’s will.
Contemporary romance author Rachael Wade
Love couldn’t be moved
by circumstance,
poor choices,
or even blatant lies;
skewed and damaged, yes,
but the heart can’t deny
what it wants most
once the desire is planted.
Whether in bliss or affliction,
love owns you all the same.
Love…
…is one of the strongest things on Earth; it is also one of the most fragile. It lives within a living paradox of lasting and fleeting possibility; overwhelmingly common and exceedingly rare at the same time.
Poet, musician and songwriter John Lennon
Love
is a promise,
love
is a souvenir,
once given,
never forgotten,
never let
it disappear.
Love is…
…more varied than the weather; often sunny, but sometimes stormy; frequently warm but sometimes cold; regularly pleasant but sometimes uncomfortable; repeatedly inviting but sometimes repelling. Never are two days of love ever exactly the same.
Irish novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Bowen
When you
love
someone,
all your
saved-up
wishes
start
coming
out.
Love…
…is a fixation of the heart I’ve never understood. I’ve chased it and run away from it. Anxiety has kept it away and trust has brought it close. Desire has given it fire and fear has smothered it. Even in all its confusing ways, I am grateful to be sharing love with you.
“Love” by James Browning
Love:
Amuses and confuses;
Bemuses and misuses;
Enthuses and refuses;
Fuses and bruises;
Chooses and loses;
Excuses and accuses…
All these things and more
Comes with love’s adore.
Love…
…is never precisely the same at any two moments. The exact feeling of one hour is not the specific emotion of the next. Love is as inconstant as the sky and like clouds is ever-changing and evolving. Our hearts’ destinies are not within our control but let’s enjoy the journey anyway.
“These Things and More” by James Browning
Love can be as varied as the wind:
a calm and soothing breeze
or a strong and forceful storm,
a warm and soothing stream of air
or an angry and furious hurricane,
a heated gust of passion
or a gentle draft of afterglow.
If time is not found short or hearts lacking,
these things and more we may know.
I love…
…how patient you are with me when I get off on tangents and just talk and talk. Thank you for your indulgence and the caring heart that has tolerance for some of my not so good traits.
Quoted frequently but written by an author unknown
You’ve got to take
The good with the bad,
Smile with the sad,
Love what you’ve got,
And remember what you had.
Always forgive,
But never forget.
Learn from mistakes,
But never regret.
