Book of love story

The below post by Dennis Merritt Jones talks about the importance of saying of hearing the words I love you. In his blog, Dennis points out that the impact of these words is great even if they come from complete strangers. I couldn’t agree more. While reading it I was reminded how much a touch, a nod or a word from a complete stranger while caring for my terminal husband helped me. I was reminded of the kindness I found in various waiting rooms or treatment centers of hospitals. Sometimes the gestures were as simple as the handing of a tissue but its impact profound and transformative. As people we have an innate need to connect to share happiness or sadness. We want to connect to feel we belong. The words I love you carry such meaning in them as to make both the giver and the receiver instantaneously feel connected. So why don’t we say it more often? Sometimes because we believe those words should only be uttered to others that make our hearts skip a beat. But what if we thought of love as a way of being? Wouldn’t we then have love for all? How happier wouldn’t we all be if we heard often that we are loved? How happier wouldn’t we all be if we could tell others we love them? Changing the way we all relate can start with each one of us. It can start with us feeling love within and wanting to share it with all that cross our paths. What if every day of your life you heard I love you. What if every day of your life you said I love you. What would your life feel like? Take a minute to imagine it before you respond.

Love
love means so many different things but you all that matters
and this is all i'll ever ask of you

tell me your dreams so they can mine too
let me be there to help them come true
tell me your fears when you feel afraid
come to my arms let me rock them away
that's all i'll ever ask of you

come to my shoulder when you need to weep
wake me up when you cannot sleep
talk to me when you want to be heard
be silent with me when you can't say a word
that's all i'll ever ask of you

i can tell you'll never have to cry another tear
whenever you want someone to hold you i'm always right here
so come to me for anything at all
call my name it's yours to call
feel my faith in you when you can't find your own
and always remember you're never alone
and that's all i'll ever ask of you

kiss mean i never let u go
