Love…
…drove me crazy when I began to fall for you. I had trouble getting to sleep, but could not wait to dream of us each night. Back then even a few days of not seeing you was torture. You became the love of my life.
From “Peony in Love” by American novelist Lisa See
He was in
my hair,
my eyes,
my fingers,
my heart.
I day-dreamed
about what he
was doing,
thinking,
seeing,
smelling,
feeling.
I could
not eat
for thoughts
of him.
Love…
…renews, reshapes and reforms within itself. Like skin sloughs off a human body and is ever being made new, the heart does likewise with its precious contents. Love must be made and remade or else it starts to wither and die.
From “The Lovely Bones” by American Novelist Alice Sebold
I
fell
in
love
with
you
again
while
you
were
away…
Love…
… of the lasting kind is uncommon and rare. It’s not difficult to find someone who tells you they love you. It’s very difficult to find someone who actually means it. My darling, I have never meant anything as much as “I love you”.
From “War and Peace” by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy
We
are
asleep
until
we
fall
in
Love!
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
We cultivate
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.
Love…
…has to be a little crazy to be good. Falling in love is like jumping off a really tall building. Your brain tells you it is not a good idea, but your heart tells you that you can fly.
From “Bel Canto” by American writer Ann Patchett
Love
was
action.
It
came
to
you.
It
was
not
a
choice.
Love…
…is magic. Someone asked me what the happiest day of my life was. I closed my eyes and felt a joyful tear run down my face as I thought back to the day when you first told me you loved me.
19th Century Victorian poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I love you
not only for
what you are,
but for what
I am when
I am with you.
I love you
not only for
what you
have made
of yourself,
but for
what you
are making
of me.
Love…
…makes a melody from living: holding hands; watching a sunset, comforting each other; eye contact; waking in the morning; a kiss before we part and so much more. All play together to create the harmony that is our love.
American clergyman, social reformer and writer Henry Ward Beecher
Of
all
the
music
that
reached
farthest
into
heaven,
it is the
beating of
a loving heart.
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
…counting
the days
’til I’ll
be
with
you;
counting
the hours
and
the
minutes,
too…
Love…
…for you makes my world better. Colors are brighter. People are nicer (me too!). My hope is stronger. My beliefs are more certain. Rain or shine, any type of weather is beautiful. Seeing with eyes of love improves everything.

Anyone can
make you
smile,
many people
can make
you cry,
but it takes
someone
really special
to make you
smile
with tears
in your eyes.
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…
From a post found at http://yourconfessions.tumblr.com/
You 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.
