Come, O come, my life’s delight,
Let me not in languor pine!
Love loves no delay; thy sight,
The more enjoyed, the more divine:
O come, and take from me
The pain of being deprived of thee!
from My Life’s Delight by Thomas Campion

I love being the object of your affection. 

Model: Khrystyna Kazakova

Well…
Maybe it’s time to be clear about who I am.
I am someone who is looking for love.
Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient,
consuming can’t live without each other love.
from Sex and the City – Season 6

Show me the man who needs the same full throttle kind of love.

Model: Lauren DiMarco

He looked nothing like you
and sounded nothing like you.
But in all the important ways
he was very much you.
 poem fragment by Lauren DiMarco 

I am resigned to the fact that you are omnipresent….

America's Top Model, beautiful, Falling in Love in Six Acts - A Passion Play, Fashion, Khrystyana Kazakova, Love, Photography

© Khrystyna Kazakova

 You feel funny inside. You feel funny outside. You feel you could do anything and no one would dare laugh at you.
This love, you will treasure. You will not put it in the basement next to your rowing machine, treadmill, and thermal body sweat wrap. And you will not take this love for granted, because that is the biggest sin of all.
from Falling in Love in Six Acts (A Passion Play) an ad by Nike

Please, please, please make this feeling last…

But under some other moon
Maybe?
Under some unknown sun,
Again, we two, we two might be
Always again?

I still find it hard to believe that you are gone.

America's Top Model, Edgar Allan Poe, Fashion, Khrystyna Kazakova, Photography, Poetry, The Raven

© Khrystyana Kazakova

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was broken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”-
Merely this, and nothing more.
from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Who knows what radiant maiden may yet come rapping at a man’s heart?

She will never close her eyes
And she does not let me sleep
And her dreams in the bright day
Make the suns evaporate
And me laugh cry and laugh
Speak when I have nothing to say
from Lady Love by Paul Eluard 

I miss the sweet intoxication that comes with first loves.

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it’s not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
lyrics from Who Are We Fooling by Brooke Fraser

Our bond can never be broken- no matter how hard we try.
