So Far

My Love…
We were sitting, talking and watching the storm when I realized what had happened. In the few weeks we have known each other I had one millimeter at a time fallen in love with you. That was the most incredible moment of my life so far.

Beautiful Insanity

My Darling…
At one moment I think I am losing my mind and at another I feel completely rational. There is so much against us I can’t imagine things working out. But in my beautiful insanity I can’t imagine life letting you and I part either.

A Changed man

My love…
I sing off-key to love songs and write sugary letters. I watch chic-flicks and am unafraid to shed a tear. Sports is no longer my life and I come home right after work. Loving you has made me a changed man.

No Beginning or End

Love…
…knows no sense of time; no beginning or end. Loving always feels like something awakened within that has been there all along but was sleeping, waiting to be brought to life.

From the novel/movie “Message in a Bottle” by Nicholas Sparks

in my arms,
I feel an
emptiness
in my soul.
I find myself
searching
the crowds
for your face;
I know it’s an
impossibility,
but I cannot
help myself.

Two Hearts in Unison

Love…
…is what allows a person to be their most vulnerable with the belief he or she will not get hurt. It’s an almost blind faith that more often than not is undeserved. But when the risk pays off, the angels sing with two hearts in unison.

American author, public speaker and research professor Brene Brown

love when we
allow our most
vulnerable and
powerful selves
to be deeply
seen and known,
and when we
honor the spiritual
connection that
grows from that
offering with trust,
respect,
kindness
and affection.

Beyond My Control

Love…
…for you has never been something I could hold back. Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was completely beyond my control.

From “The Unsung Love Story” by Cristina Patchett

He Made Me Love Him

Love…
…can sneak up slowly and be a surprise. We’ve known each other a long time. We’ve become close friends. Being together is so comfortable and easy. I don’t want to mess that up, but am falling in love with you. Should I tell you?

From “Jane Eyre” by English poet and novelist Charlotte Bronte
victorian loveI had not intended
to love him;
the reader knows
I had wrought hard
to extirpate from my soul
the germs of love
there detected; and now,
at the first renewed
view of him,
they spontaneously
revived,
great and strong!
He made me
love him
without looking
at me.

By Love Bent

Love…
…transforms people and alters lives. No one remains the same after it finds them. Much like wind and weather bends and shapes a sapling; each of us is by love formed and fashioned.

From the book “Come to My Senses” by Peter McWilliams

no matter
what you
feel it for,
is still love.
The object does not
change the emotion.
But the emotion
quite often
changes the object.

Right Now

Love …
…usually arrives unpredictably like a rain shower. No matter how much you try to anticipate its arrival, you don’t really know it has begun until love is upon you.

Striking it Rich

Love…
…is found much like a determined prospector digging for gold; one has to have a belief he or she is going to find it in the first place. ‘Striking it rich’ in love becomes probable only with an unwavering conviction it is possible.

From “Love and Truth” by American writer Kathryn Vance-Perez
