What is love?Love is hope that is not dashed, faith that is not shaken, and charity that never fails. Love is half the pain and twice the comfort Love is the good in your beloved, the bad times spent apart and the ugly couch from college.
Love is a twinkle in the eye, a spring in the step, and a throb in the heart. Love is catching a glimpse of a little boy behind his bifocals. Love is cutting a rug one day and vacuuming it the next. Love is a note in your lunch bag that makes you smile. Love is feeling safe to disagree. Love is finding your car clean and your gas tank topped off. Love is giving him the egg you didn't break. Love is guarding a vision and holding a thought. Love is like water for it gives life, cools hurt, sings merrily over sharp stones, rushes headlong over fear, and tumbles over dangerous falls only to pool in a private garden grotto. Love is moving the couch one more time. Love is passing up the last truffle. Love is seeing your reflection in his eyes and noting that you look ten pounds thinner. Love is taking the 2am feeding. Love is the thought of the mind and the tug in the heart. Love is the urge to make a nest. Love is your shoulder on the wheel, your nose to the grindstone, your feet planted firmly on the ground and your head still in the clouds.
Lovers see the beloved in incandescent light where others see flourescent. Love is catching a glimpse of the little girl behind her bifocals. Lovers put off the put down. Lovers don't know how to measure for the halfway mark. The house of love has a snug, dry basement, an uncluttered attic, and soup in the pot. The house of love is cleaned by both partners. A good spouse has a bad memory. A lover knows your flaws and loves you anyway. A poor memory makes for a rich marriage. A lover doesn't expect you to be more perfect than he is. Love comes to dinner and stays to dry the dishes. ©Jeannette Ramirez, 2009 Or find more love quotations from poems.
