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
Y
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.

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.

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.

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
Y
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
