Love, Romance and
You Know What!
Togetherness
We
are busy people, you and I. To accomplish what
we do, we have to stave off all distractions and
give up many special pleasures for the work we
do. But our love is always there. True. Constant.
Sure. Success or failure will hardly touch me if our
venture falls apart at the seams. You will be there.
Jesse O'Neill
Together ...
the most beautiful word in the language of love.
Valentines Card, 1998
When
two people love each other, they don't look
at each other, they look in the same direction.
Ginger Rogers
Love
endures only when the lovers love many
things together and not merely each other.

Whenever
I've needed someone to share my joy, or someone
to hold me when my world rips to pieces, you're there.
And I know you will be -- tomorrow, always.
Mayav Patel
To
lie with you under a ceiling bright with shifting water shadows -- that's good.
To drowse in flower-scented darkness -- that's good.
But best of all is rain-drumming, roaring, gushing from
the guttering-and we two warm and dry and safe
together, in each other's arms.
Pam Brown
I
love you for the smallest things; bluebells on my
desk, a pat on the head when I made an awful
speech, a cup of tea in the middle of a deadline
panic, being the only one to tell me that the green
skirt really does make me look like a sack of
potatoes. And the big things; giving me all the
best things in your life, sharing my joys, being kind
to me in all my failings and giving me courage.
Helen Thomson
All
that I love loses half its pleasure
if you are not there to share it.
Clara Ortega
To
get the full value of joy you must
have someone to divide it with.
Mark Twain
It's
nice for me to be me,
It's nice for you to be you,
But it's best for us to be us.
Pam Brown
Those
days of freedom can be anywhere. Long silver
beaches. Tangled alleyways. Temples against
the skyline ... churches resonant with song. Merry
go rounds. Coral reefs. A rambling pension in
Provence. But always at the heart of them a quiet
room, high ceilinged, bright with sunlight, a great
white bed. And you.
Pam Brown
Clym
and Eustacia, in their little house at Alderworth, were
living on with a monotony which was delightful to them.
The heath and changes of weather were quite blotted
out from their eyes for the present ... When it rained
they were charmed, because they could remain indoors
together all day with such a show of reason; when it was
fine they were charmed, because they could sit together
on the hills ... The absolute solitude in which they lived
intensified their reciprocal thoughts; yet some might
have said that it had the disadvantage of consuming
their mutual affections at a fearfully prodigal rate.
Thomas Hardy - The Return of the Native
Let
there be spaces in your togetherness.
Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet
Why
do people stay together? Putting aside 'for the sake
of the children', and 'the habit of years' and
'economic reasons' as lawyers' nonsense -- it's not
much more-... it's because they can't; they are
bound. And nobody on earth knows what are
the bonds that bind them except those two.
Katherine Mansfield - A Married Man's Story
Until you're a hundred,
Until I'm ninety-nine,
Together
Until white hair grows
Japanese Folk Song
