Do I Dare

Dare I imagine what it would be like to be in love with you? Do I dare imagine you could love me too? Yes, I dare! Each time I am with you it seems more likely that love might in time bind us together with love.

is someone

of your smile,

your presence
that life
is worthwhile,
so when you
are lonely
remember
its true,
someone
somewhere
is thinking
of you.

What an Adversary

My Dearest…
Miles apart, my mind wonders, “Does she really love me?” My heart answers quickly, “Yes, she does. She needs you and wants only you!”. Oh, what an adversary the thinking mind can be to a loving heart.

Love Will Paint the Surroundings

Let’s go somewhere beautiful where we can sit together and soak up what we see, hear and feel. It doesn’t matter where because as long we’re together; where we are will be beautiful. Love will paint the surroundings into a beautiful memory.

Say Nothing

Sweetheart…
In all the words I’ve said and written, there has yet to be a time the love within me was accurately conveyed. No words can approximate what grows in my heart. Let me hold you while we drift to sleep so I can express what is impossible to speak.

From “The Love of an Unknown Soldier”by an Anonymous Writer

are always inadequate:
it’s the touch
of live hands,
of lips pressed
to lips
that count.
I want to
hold you
and say nothing.

Beyond Mere Externals

Sweetheart…
When we’re not together, I’m good. My life is rich. But when you’re near, I’m more than good; my life is richer. So completely you have seized my attention. So soon you have taken up residence in my heart.

Author and American Christian pioneer Ellen G. White
two-hearts-graffiti-love-carol-leighTrue love is not a strong,
fiery, impetuous passion.
It is, on the contrary,
an element
calm and deep.
It looks beyond
mere externals,
and is attracted
by qualities alone.
It is wise
and discriminating,
and its devotion
is real and abiding.

Unfold In Reality

My Dear…
You have settled into my near constant thoughts, yet we hardly know each other. There is a familiarity about you that whispers I have known you before. Maybe it’s only a dream trying to unfold in reality.

Defying the Impulse

Sweetheart…
I promise I’ll stay with you in the toughest of times, even those when you’re not sure you want to be with me or when there are questions about you in my heart. NOTHING can stop my commitment to you.

????????????????????????????????????????Love is patient
and kind,
love is deliberate.
Love is hard.
Love is pain
and sacrifice,
it’s seeing
the darkness
in another
person and
defying the
impulse to
jump ship.

Variety and Splendor

My Love…
Are you ready for our first dance class together tonight? I love doing new and different things with you. Now more than ever before I want to live life well in its full variety and splendor. I want to do everything with you!

American poet, painter, author, and playwright E.E. Cummings
young-loveLove is
the voice
under all
silences,
the hope
which has
no opposite
in fear;
the strength
so strong
mere force
is feebleness:
the truth
more first
than sun,
more last
than star…

Many Times

Sweetheart…
I finally “felt” what I think Valentine’s Day should be about: love, love and more love between two totally committed partners. Thank you for opening up the doors to a whole new life for me.

Plainly and Simply

Sweetheart…
When you’re in a bad mood, I love you. When I don’t understand why you’re acting a particular way, I love you. When you lose your cool, I love you. When you hardly notice I’m here, I love you. Plainly and simply, I love you.

American romantic novelist and producer Nicholas Sparks

love-spells4 editWe fell in love,
despite our
differences,
and once we did,
something rare
and beautiful
was created.
For me, love like that
has only happened once,
and that’s why every minute
we spent together
has been seared
in my memory.
I’ll never forget
a single moment of it.
