I choose you<\/h4>\n

I choose you<\/p>\n

again and again<\/p>\n

at the start and finish<\/p>\n

of every single day<\/p>\n

no matter the season<\/p>\n

no matter the age<\/p>\n\n

I choose you<\/p>\n

to struggle and succeed with<\/p>\n

to fight and wake up with<\/p>\n

to love and grow old with<\/p>\n\n

I choose you<\/p>\n

knowing there are still trails<\/p>\n

we must travel<\/p>\n

knowing there are mountains<\/p>\n

left to climb<\/p>\n\n

I choose you<\/p>\n

to always be by my side<\/p>\n\n

Trust love<\/h4>\n

And in those moments<\/p>\n

when you feel afraid to trust love,<\/p>\n

remember that I have crossed<\/p>\n

a great ocean of loneliness to find you.<\/p>\n\n

Mine is not a fair-weather heart.<\/p>\n

I was built to outlast storms.<\/p>\n\n

– John Mark Green<\/p>\n

Short and sweet<\/h4>\n

We would be together<\/p>\n

and have our books<\/p>\n

and at night<\/p>\n

be warm in bed together<\/p>\n

with the windows open<\/p>\n

and the stars bright.<\/p>\n\n

– Ernest Hemingway<\/p>\n

Treat me like a woman<\/h4>\n

I, with a deeper instinct,<\/p>\n

choose a man<\/p>\n

who compels my strength,<\/p>\n

who makes enormous demands<\/p>\n

on me,<\/p>\n

who does not doubt my courage<\/p>\n

or my toughness,<\/p>\n

who does not believe me naive<\/p>\n

or innocent,<\/p>\n

who has the courage to treat me<\/p>\n

like a woman.<\/p>\n\n

Simple love<\/h4>\n

I love you without knowing<\/p>\n

how, or when, or from where.<\/p>\n

I love you simply, without<\/p>\n

problems or pride,<\/p>\n

I love you in this way because<\/p>\n

I do not know any other way<\/p>\n

of loving but this,<\/p>\n

in which<\/p>\n

there is no I or you,<\/p>\n

so intimate that your head<\/p>\n

upon my chest is my head,<\/p>\n

so intimate that<\/p>\n

when I fall asleep<\/p>\n

your eyes close.<\/p>\n\n

– Pablo Neruda<\/p>\n

The great love<\/h4>\n

I fell in love with her courage,<\/p>\n

her sincerity and her flaming<\/p>\n

self- respect and it’s these things<\/p>\n

I’d believe in even if the whole<\/p>\n

world indulged in wild suspicions<\/p>\n

that she wasn’t all that she should<\/p>\n

be. But of course the real reason<\/p>\n

is that I love her and that’s the<\/p>\n

beginning and end of everything.<\/p>\n\n

– F. Scott Fitzgerald<\/p>\n

Love is simple<\/h4>\n

Love is simple<\/p>\n

It is waking up<\/p>\n

knowing you exist<\/p>\n

in a mind<\/p>\n

outside of your own<\/p>\n\n

It is having one heart<\/p>\n

that carries two beats<\/p>\n\n

It is you and me<\/p>\n

spoken\u00a0in terms<\/p>\n

of us and we.<\/p>\n\n

Soul mates<\/h4>\n

I don’t know how\u00a0you are so familiar to me – or why it<\/p>\n

feels less like I am getting to know you and more as though<\/p>\n

I am remembering who you are. How every smile, every<\/p>\n

whisper brings me closer to the impossible conclusion that’<\/p>\n

I have known you before, I have loved yo before – in<\/p>\n

another time, a different place – some other existence.<\/p>\n\n

– Lang Leav<\/p>\n

Twin flames<\/h4>\n

There was a feeling of inevitability when I met you. The sense that we would be together; that there would be a moment when you would look at me in a certain way, and we would cross the threshold from friendship into something much more.<\/p>\n\n

We spoke once about lovers who kept finding each other, no matter how many times the world came between them. And I think I had to break your heart, and you had to break mine. How else could we know the worth of what we were given?<\/p>\n\n

I think you were always meant to know me a little better than anyone else. And our lives were fated to converge like some cosmic dance. I know there is a terrible distance between us. But our bodies are made of celestial light, and we are hurling through space and time, toward the most beautiful collision.<\/p>\n\n

– Lang Leav<\/p>\n

Carry your heart<\/h4>\n

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)<\/p>\n

I am never without it (anywhere I go, you go, my dear;<\/p>\n

and whatever is done by me is your doing, my darling)<\/p>\n\n

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)<\/p>\n

I want no world (for beautiful, you’re my world, my true)<\/p>\n

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and<\/p>\n

whatever a sun will always sing is you<\/p>\n\n

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows<\/p>\n

(here is the roost of the roost and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky and a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)<\/p>\n

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.<\/p>\n\n

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)<\/p>\n\n

– e. e. cummings<\/p>\n

Bonus!\u00a0<\/h1>\n

A choice<\/h4>\n

I didn’t\u00a0fall\u00a0<\/em>in love with you.<\/p>\n

I walked into love with you,<\/p>\n

with my eyes wide open,<\/p>\n

choosing to take<\/p>\n

every step along the way.<\/p>\n

I do believe in fate and destiny,<\/p>\n

but I also believe<\/p>\n

we are only fated to do things<\/p>\n

that we’d choose anyway.<\/p>\n

And I’d choose you;<\/p>\n

in a hundred lifetimes,<\/p>\n

in a hundred worlds,<\/p>\n

in any versions of reality,<\/p>\n

I’d find you<\/p>\n

and I’d choose you.<\/p>\n\n
