Love Poems

"I love you"

I LOVE YOU

I love you, sweetheart,
Like I thought I never would.
I love you in ways
I thought only someone else could.
My heart has grown for you;
It grows everyday.
You give me strength to push on;
That added inspiration with each new day.
I love you, sweetheart, for giving me the chance.
The chance to feel happiness from a true romance.
I love you, sweetheart, for your warm sympathy.
When you open your arms and say,
„Come to me.‰
I love you just for being there.
Having you in my life
Has been an answered pray

"In the Name Of Love"

You held my hand, swept me away,
Took me on a journey to a place far away.
You look into my eyes, you looked into my heart,
Walked into my soul, finding the perfet place to start.
You brought the sun out, when the moon was high above,
Did everything you knew, in the name of love.
You lit up a fire deep in my thoughts,
You planted a seed without soil in my heart.
You caused a rose to grow,
With thorns white as snow.
You gave me the most perfect gift you knew,
Just by saying "I love you."

Key Truisms about Surviving Lost Love

Overcoming a Broken Heart

Step One:

Allow yourself time to heal, and know that you can heal. Whether the loss is due to death, rejection, or other reason.
It is normal to grieve over a loss of a love for any reason.
It usually takes two to three years for a couple whose relationship has broken up to begin to put their lives back together again. It sometimes takes five years for individuals and families to get over the emotional pain and trauma. Many people can have serious health and emotional problems during this time.

Step Two:

Realize that you still can find happiness.
Realize that you can control how you think, what you think about, and how much.
A key is to concentrate on the positives you have in the present. Not thinking about the future or past.

Healing Helpers

Being around people and getting involved in helping others is a good way to accelerate the proces of healing.
Laughing helps too, so see a comedy, watch funny things. That is part of the reason the Irish have a party when someone passes away.
Helping others helps you loose sight of your own losses.
It is strongly suggested that you take the intensity of your feelings and re-direct them into doing something constructive that helps others. For me, it was creating this web site and doing volunteer work that helps others. Do volunteer work, it can help the healing process greatly. Especially, if the volunteer work envolves working with others, and feeling gratitude from those you are helping. The channeling the power of your feelings to accomplish constructive acts is very, very helpful.

Step Three:

Activily work to feel better.
Act happy and smile. Even if you don't feel that way, it should start to make you feel that way.
Life will be better

My Personal Experience

In my lifetime (in my 40's now) I have had several relationships. After each major relationship, it took me awhile before I was able to move on. To open myself to caring about someone else.

Even when I did move on, those who I said "I love you" to, I still care about and love to this day.

Now, even knowing that I still truly love the girl who inspired this website who moved on, I don't think of her as a "one and only love." She is the only person I can say I have "true love" for, and might remain that for the rest of my life. I don't know. She may be the person whom I love most in my life, and is at this point in my life by a wide margin.

But, as with all losses of love, I need time to grieve over my loss, I need to cherish what I had, realize what I have good in my life at the moment, and keep a hope for a better future.

If you have lost love, allow yourself the time to grieve (could be months, years. Harder when you have contact with the person that you love, than if you have no contact therapists tell me), then follow the same steps I am trying to do.

Good Luck,

NOTE: Count your blessings! Take time to count what is good in your life. If a Jewish man living in a Nazi death camp during World War II could find positives in his life and have a positive attitude, then you can too!

"I love you"

Love Poems

If you love something...let it go, if it comes back to you it was truly meant to be.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

Write the bad things that are done to you in the sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens:
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Life's glory is not in never falling,
but in getting up EVERY time you fal

Standing alone in the middle of the night
Wondering why I let you leave my life
Somehow my heart just doesn't feel right
And ow my heart has shattered

Dreaming of how I used to look into your eyes
And how those eyes of blue resembled the skies
And how that sky of mine isn't the bluest sky
It is filled with clouds of grey

Yet still loving you and I always will
Seeing you my heart sits still
And when I see you my heart is filled
with infinite happiness

"Share and Build"

Come share with me my love.
Be my other half.
Fly with me to wondrous heights.
Share my cries and laughs.
Explore with me a whole new world.
Help lay a foundation for us to build.
You and I can last forever,
As long as we share and build together.

"Life's Greatest Power"

It’s a phenomena that’s never to be explained.
You travel to your highest of highs
And your lowest of lows.
Unpredictable, uncontrollable, unconditional.
