Loving You

I feel inside of me

The sadness in your heart

When things aren't going right.

And my eyes, too

Fill with tears

Because I know how you feel

And because I cherish you

So very much

And feel so close by your side.


If only I could

I would right the wrongs

And make the days brighter,

Because I want soon to see

The smile I remember

And the eyes that sparkle so

When things are going well.


All I have to offer is my love...

To remind you that you're not alone,

My hand...

To hold and to help,

And my simple words...

That time will take you to a brighter day

And strength will walk beside you

And your heart will show the way.

Love takes time. It needs a history of giving and receiving, laughing and crying...

Love never promises instant gratification, only ultimate fulfillment.

Love means believing in someone, in something. It supposes a willingness to struggle, to work, to suffer, and to rejoice.

It belongs to only those who can reach beyond themselves; to whom giving is more important than receiving.

Love is doing everything you can to help others build whatever dreams they have.

Love involves much careful and active listening. It is doing whatever needs to be done, and saving whatever will promote others' happiness, security and well-being.

Sometimes love hurts.

Love is a constant journey to what others need. It must be attentive, caring and open, both to what others say and to what others cannot say.

Love says no with empathy and great compassion.

Love is firm, but when needed it must be tender.

When others have tried and failed, love is the hand in your moments of discouragement and disappointment.

Love is reliable.

Love is a choice and a commitment to others' true and lasting happiness. It is dedicated to growth and fulfillment. Love is not selfish.

Love sometimes fails for lack of wisdom or abundance of weakness, but it forgives, knowing the intentions are good.

Love does not attach conditions... Genuine love is always a free gift.

Love realises and accepts that there will be disagreements and disturbing emotions.

There may be times when miles lay between, but love is a commitment. It believes, and endures all things.

Love encourages freedom of self. Love shares positive and negative reactions to warm and cold feelings.

Love, intimate love, will never reject others. It is the first to encourage and the last to condemn.

Love is a commitment to growth, happiness, and fulfillment of one another.

Once in a while

Someone comes along

Someone who just naturally

Makes everyone feel a little happier

A little more alive to life

You've been that someone to me

You've given me a new perspective

On a lot of things including myself

There are things you've said to me

I'll always remember

And ways you've helped me

I'll never forget

The times we spend together

Are always good times

That leave me looking forward

To the next time

So thanks for being

The wonderful person that you are

You're an inspiration to me

And I'm very grateful

That you've come into my life.

I love you

For being so honest

For being so free

For being so trusting

For being so passionate

And for contributing so much to our relationship


I love you

For all you do for me

For all you express to me

For all you share with me

And for all that you are to me


I love you

For understanding me

For laughing and crying with me

For having fun with me

And for being such an outstanding person


I love you

For all these things and more

I love you

For everything about you

I love you

My love for you is something

Which no-one can explain

It's filled with deep devotion

With sacrifice and pain.

It's forgiving and unselfish

Enduring come what may

For no-one can destroy it

Or take my love away.

I love you more than you know....

You mean so much to me

You're the brightest part of my day

You're a light to guide me through the darkest hours

You're the one I want to wake up beside

You're the thought that keeps me going

I think of so many things we've done... the time we met...

The wonderful way we became acquainted

I remember the first time you said you loved me

And the special times we've shared since.

If there is anything better than being loved, it is loving.

The love I feel is for no-one but you.

Other things that were important to me have become secondary.

I long for your company, your touch, and your embrace.

Each day begins with thoughts of you and ends with dreams of you.

You are everything to me: my love, my life, and my future.

With you my life is filled with promise.

I Want Someone To Love Forever,
And I Want That Someone To Be You

The most cherished thought I hold in my heart... is the one that hopes you'll always be with me.

I really want my dream of us being in love forever to become the most beautiful and lasting part of our lives.

Whenever I imagine getting to that point, I think of it as a path to be walked that heads from today.

Towards what I pray will be many beautiful tomorrows and more happiness than either of us thought would come our way.

Whenever I imagine walking along the path beyond today, I am filled with love to know that though there may be some rough spots, there will be one lovely reward - that the hand I'll be holding will be yours.
