You mean the world to me
Whatever you may think
Whatever we may do
It will always end with
me and you-

"Have you ever really held the hand of someone you love? Not just in passing, a loose link between you - but truly clasped, with the pulses of your wrists beating together and your fingers mapping the knuckles and nails like a cartographer learning a country by heart?" - Jodi Picoult

Love is both the most painful and most joyous state of being.

I was talking to one of my oldest friends this morning and we got on the topic of love and it made me think of this thread.

I think sometimes people think of being in love as a state of fireworks and magic and I think it definitely IS that way, in the beginning and even after 10 or 20 years together.

But also? I think people sometimes forget to see the magic in the small, quiet moments. The calm moments. The moments when there are no fireworks in the sky but instead, the cool dark expanse of a starry night where you are with the one you love and it feels like there is nobody else in the world but the two of you.
Those moments tend to be quiet and serene for me and perhaps the most supreme state of contentment and peace. And those tend to be the moments when I feel how much my heart has swollen, how much my soul tingles. Mostly, I am able to feel the conduit of connection running from me to the other person and the exchange of blood and stories and fear and joy and desire and trust that makes loving someone else the very thing that will crack your soul wide open.

True love is an awakening. It can open your eyes to perspectives unlike ever before ... of yourself, the other person and relationship. Youre able to see how what you thought was love before was not 100%. Its when things are at their worst, and youre still in love. You still admire their face when they dont notice, even in difficult moments. You notice details about each other that no one has before. Your heart is always tender for each other and that doesnt change. Its waking up everyday with a knowing in your soul.

I have loved many women. I have been in love once. After a while, I began to notice and I said, "Choose one, the bottle or me." I knew I could not live with all that mess, the baggage, the games and active confusion creations. This woman is someone I would have given my life for.

I am honored to have had the experience of actually being totally in love with a woman. This woman was so special to me. The experience cannot ever be taken away. It belongs to me and is mine for eternity. Yes, she was really all that and so much more.

Took a very long time for me to say it is okay now and mean it.

It is okay now. :)

I have loved you since we first talked 7 years ago.
I love your smart ass
I love your beautiful heart
I love you strength
I love your mind
I want our souls to intertwine
I want you by my side forever
I want to give you the life you deserve
I want to squash all your fears
I will protect your heart forever
I love you
I'm knocking on your door
Will you let me in?

My 12-year-old granddaughter turned me onto this.

It is making the rounds at her school and with all of her friends.

Just knowing that gives me hope for the future.

I have always loved these little illustrations, but love them even more so now as I see my girlfriend and myself in many of them. There are few things sweeter in life than savoring these small moments together. These moments are where it is really found. :heartbeat:

Wouldn't it be great if lovers remembered to be who they each were when they first fell in love?
I used to always want to please my lover, so I'd feel obligated to remake myself if she created blueprints for changes she thought would improve my basic personality.
Somehow, neither of us were ever satisfied with whatever new version I tried to become. How crazy was it for either of us to think it would be a smart move to remodel me like I was a house she wanted to flip?
And when did she go from being a sexy minx to a lion tamer with a whip and a chair?
I forgot who I was, and she resented how easily I went from a being a confident, secure butch to a maliable wimp with feet of clay.

Now, I take my mantra from the wisdom of a famed Navy veteran:

"I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam."--Popeye

(kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk)

[Kätzchen]

**** shared in the quiet moments during a meal-time (we like to feed each other or talk quietly about our work life or life at home),

**** during all the time (s) we spend cuddling each other,

**** being there for each other (being fully present while we solve our mutual concerns and problems),

**** and kissing each other deeply as we breathe in the fragrance of our cherished love.
