I Love You

When I say I love you I do
But this with you will not do
I need someone I can lean on
Someone I can count on too

Yes you are there sometimes
For that I am grateful to you
But I need someone there full time
And that you can not do

You told me once you loved me
That I could believe in you
I was there when you needed someone
Where were you when I needed someone, too?

The time has come for me to let go
Never to expect you to care again
People may come and people may go
But my love will never end

Love can be good or bad
Love can make you happy
Or it can leave you sad

Love will bring two people together
Love can make them last
Hopefully forever

Love can help them find their way
Love hopefully grows stronger
With each passing day

Love is fragile and should be held with care
Love is at it’s best
When it’s treasured and shared

Love should never be pretend
Love that is not real
Will never last until the end

Love is two people hand in hand
Love can survive
If together they always stand

Love should never be taken for granted
Love that is true and real
On firm ground it’s securely planted

Love should be respected and never miss used
Love should always be valued
It should never be abused

Love is wonderful in so many ways
Love is me, loving you
For the rest of all our days

~Dreams Of Love~

As a child love was real
Family was there for you
As the world we had to deal
Love was not so very true

Wanting to spread our wings
To find a family of our own
Love was what filled our dreams
Most of the time spent alone

Dreams of love did seem true
But always ended in such pain
Never knowing when or even who
Would give us the love again

Maybe these dreams are in vain
But I believe in our love
Hoping I will never hurt again
Praying to my God above

So I believe as the child
That love is for real
My heart I will never hide
Always open to feel

Dreams of love I still believe
As I need all your love
My love to you may you receive
Dreams revealed with a hug

You say that love is nonsense…. I tell you it is no such thing.
For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache about the heart,
never leaving one, by night or by day; a long strain on one’s
nerves like toothache or rheumatism, not intolerable at any one instant,
but exhausting by its steady drain on the strength.
* Henry Adams*

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator,
but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make laugh.
* W. H. Auden*

Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy,
or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other,
and both together make up one whole.
* Samuel Taylor Coleridge*

When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
May wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
As the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you
so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth
So is he for your pruning.
The Prophet by Gibran Khalil Gibran

Love, with very young people, is a heartless business.
We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk;
it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the
individuality of our wine.
* Isak Dinesen*

Love must not touch the marrow of the soul.
Our affections must be breakable chains that we
can cast them off or tighten them.
* Euripedes*

Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists…
When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the
other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in
two volumes of which the first has been lost.
That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness
in absence
* Preeti Bansal*

No matter what you’ve done for yourself or for humanity,
if you can’t look back on having given love and attention to
your own family, what have you really accomplished?
* Lee Iacocca*

This was love at first sight, love everlasting: a feeling unknown,
unhoped for, unexpected– in so far as it could be a matter of
conscious awareness; it took entire possession of him,
and he understood, with joyous amazement,
that this was for life.
* Thomas Mann*

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species
of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled,
but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.
* George Jean Nathan*

We conceal it from ourselves in vain–we must always love something.
In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is
secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly
live for a moment without it.
* Blaise Pascal*

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse;
it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness
which afflicts most men and women throughout
the greater part of their lives.
* Bertrand Russell*

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage
which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings,
he comes quickly and flies away the same.
* Voltaire*

Love is always bestowed as a gift – freely, willingly and
without expectation. We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.
*Leo Buscaglia*

As I awaken, each and every day,
Thoughts of love turn to you.
An unbreakable bond between us two,
A special love ever so true…

The warm glow in your eyes,
The sweet smile on your face;
Makes me want to hold you,
Forever in love’s tender embrace.

The gentleness of your touch,
The sweet passion of your kiss.
Just a couple of many pleasures,
I longingly so miss…

The sound of your voice,
Is like a song in my heart,
Always bringing me happiness,
As it has done from our start.

We’ve shared many joys,
And also felt some sorrows,
Yet our future is filled,
Of wonderful tomorrows.

So, until that bright day,
Far away such as it seems,
You shall always be my one true love…
The woman of my dreams.

I Walked Alone

There’s a special place I love to go
It holds memories sweet and tender
Life was good and love was real
But now, I just remember

I walk alone in rain or sun
Down mountain roads I wander
Memories flood my aching heart
Along the way I ponder.

I remember so well that September day
When you asked me to be your bride
You slipped a ring upon my hand
With tears of joy we cried.

I was yours and you were mine
We promised to love each other only
But then one day God called you home
Now I walk alone and lonely..

There aren’t enough words to tell you I love you,
Not enough ways to show you I care.
Not enough laughter and good times to wish you,
Not enough wonderful moments to share. . .
A million bright mornings would not be too many,
Long evenings forever would still be too few,
For I need you and love you so much that it seems
There aren’t enough days in a lifetime with you. . .

I’ll always be here waiting for you.

I’ve searched around the world
from north to south, and east to west.

Day and night, in search of a friend
because I only wanted the best.

This friend must be kind and sincere,
happy and full of cheer.

Someone who knows how to have lots of fun,
and when times get rough, won’t run.

Though I’ve searched the world looking for you,
my friendship wishes finally came true.

I FOUND YOU!

Into each life a little rain will fall,
but if you have a friend,
you can bear it all,
for a friend is an umbrella,
to hold above your head,
and help you think about,
the sunny days instead.

Into each life a little sun will shine,
but if you have a friend,
it will always be fine,
for if you can share the sunny times,
with a friend that will be grand,
as you talk and walk together,
securely hand in hand.

Into each life a little wind will blow,
but if you have a friend,
to whom you can go,
your friend can help to guide you,
can help you make the choice,
by offering their view,
and adding a new voice.

Into each life like leaves
things will fall,
but if you have a friend,
you know that you can call,
they’ll always steer you clearly,
when their counsel’s sought,
for a friend is like a safety net,
in which you will be caught.

Into each life a friend will come to you,
for if you have a friend,
you’ll know what to do,
when a problem shows itself,
for a friend is there to share,
to offer an opinion,
and show that someone cares.

Into my life my friend came as you,
for I know I have a friend,
to share experiences old or new,
in the rain, sun, wind or fall,
who is loving, loyal and most true,
that sees my best qualities,
and knows I am their friend too.

Thank you for all the times that you’ve been there for me.
