Until We Get To Heaven

Love…
…makes me want to be with you so badly now, but the certainty of what we share helps me be calm and patient. What we share is worth waiting for even if we are never together again until we get to Heaven.

From Happening’s song “See You in September” by Wayne/Edwards

What A Glorious Ride

Love…
…has added the speed of light to my life. All the good we share builds happiness into fast joys. Grief and sadness are fleeting. Life is zipping by, but oh what a glorious ride it is.

From “Brushstrokes of a Gadfly” by E.A. Bucchianeri

beautiful
moments
always seemed
to accelerate
and slip beyond
one’s grasp
just when
you want
to hold
onto them
for as long
as possible.

No Matter How Painful

Love…
…remains deep and true. For you I would give up my future and even my life without hesitation. Through your illness I will stand by you, be with you and hold you. Nothing can take me away from you… NOTHING.

From “Dear John” by American novelist Nicholas Sparks.

through it allI finally
understood
what true
love meant.
…love meant that
you care for
another person’s
happiness more
than your own,
no matter how
painful
the choices
you face
might be.

Stand Straighter

Love…
…has remade me. I am changed. See my smile? It was never this large before. See my eyes? The sparkle wasn’t there previously. I stand straighter and walk with more confidence. I am not a different person, but a far better version.

Composer Ludwig van Beethoven to his Immortal Beloved

The Welcoming of Your Beloved

Love…
…is an opening of the heart; a welcoming of your beloved. Authentic loving is risky and the most potentially rewarding chance a person can take. You must be willing to get your heart-broken six times theN get up and try a seventh and more…

Its-My-Love-Story_20013EDIT2You fixed me.
A decade of
being broken,
without hope,
and you fixed me.
You said I was
amazing and beautiful.
More importantly,
you told me
that nothing
would ever stop you
from loving me.
You have no idea
how much
you mean to me.
I love you, so much
that I don’t even know
how to put it to words.

Like A Never Dry Spring

Love…
…we share inspires me to be the best I can be; for you, for our family and for me. With you by my side I have become more than I thought possible. Like a never dry spring your love flows to me constantly.

Russian writer of novels, short stories, plays and essays Leo Tolstoy
Cold water in the handSeize
the moments
of happiness,
love
and
be loved!
That
is the
only
reality
in the
world,
all else
is folly.

Until the End of Time

Love…
… taught me the day you stole my heart, I would always love you. Without a doubt that will always be true. My love for you will out live me for at least a hundred years; maybe two…

From the poem”Have I Ever Told You” by Gianella Ramirez
middleAgedCouple EDITHave I ever told you
When I stand still
I can hear the beating of your heart,
Beating along with mine?
Have I ever told you
When my arms feel empty
I hug myself and, somehow, I feel the warmth
Of your body embracing mine?
Have I ever told you
when I’m missing you
I close my eyes and in my mind
I’m safe in your arms?
Have I ever told you
No matter how this world separates us
We are still one person
Until the end of time?

Fired By A Passion New

Love…
…causes goose bumps every time we begin to kiss. My lips touching yours sets off a chain reaction within I can not explain, but accept openly as love deep and true fired by a passion new in its strength and vigor.

A poem titled “Peace” by Robert Byers
MarriageAmendmentinNorthCarolinaLike water
rushing down a hill
Laughing,
singing on its way
Like sunlight
over windowsill
Heralding
dawning of the day
Our love sprang
quickly into life
Growing stronger
as we went
And since you
said you’d be my wife
Evermore I’ll be content.

Most Private Parts of Me

Love…
…deep and true proves I was made for you and you alone. Others have come and gone but always I remained distant. No one ever stole my heart. When you arrived it felt simply natural to throw open the windows of the most private parts of me.

Quote by an unknown/anonymous author
slide-125You can’t
force
someone
to love you;
all you
can do is
become
someone
who can
be loved;
the rest is
up to them.

Never Grow Old

Love…
…has blessed us with its power and held you and me together through all the years we have shared. You are as much a part of me as my right hand and far more important.

American author, motivations speaker and professor Leo Buscaglia
vacation08editLove can never
grow old.
Locks may
lose their
brown and gold.
Cheeks may fade
and hollow grow.
But the hearts
that love
will know,
never winter’s
frost and chill,
summer’s warmth
is in them still.
