Intimacy Love Connection Quotes

“I want to
sleep next to you
in that curled fashion
of a comma
or in quotations
that repeat
I love you
in whispers
the weight of
fine cotton
and wrinkles are
our known secrets
because age has reached
a stage where words
are in our eyes and
from our heart.”
― Carolyn Riker, My Dear, Love Hasn't Forgotten You

“Even with so much healing done when two true hearts open up face to face, they may still have tears to shed and less than clear thoughts in their heads.

But tears can be cleansing and rejuvenating. Uncertainty brings opportunity to grow and find clarity.

In relationship with ourselves or others, may we observe and process our hearts and minds, may we choose love, joy, and peace as our path unwinds.”
― Emilyann Allen
