Relationships - Steve Maraboli

Batshit Kind of Love

The type of love that can’t be described with words… The type of love that can’t be measured by time… The type of love that inspires haters to hate… The type of love that makes no sense to those around you… The type of love that exists in the beautiful eyes in which you can see all of your tomorrows… all of your children and grandchildren… The type of love that makes you feel like forever will not be long enough… The type of love that is born out of a relationship that is built on honor, respect, and truth… That is our love… That is our connection… The batshit kind of love that makes no sense at all… and at the same time… all the sense in the world… That is us… You and me; a “WE.” © Steve Maraboli – From his bestselling book, “Unapologetically You”

When Forever Becomes a Place

Forever is used as a reference of time; but there are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express the depth of my love for you. Perhaps it is enough time for those who share an ordinary love. But not us; our extraordinary love is immeasurable… for us, forever just won’t do. I prefer to think of forever as a place… When forever becomes a place… when forever ceases to be just a word… when it ceases to be a just a measurement of time… but instead becomes a place where soul mates can dance to the song in their hearts; that is a reflection of true love… that is our love. I feel so blessed to share this forever with you. To love, share, laugh, grow, dance, learn, and play along this journey through forever. This is our home, our place; forever. © Steve Maraboli From the book, “Unapologetically You”

Where it Matters

Being with you today is worth all the broken hearts of yesterday. In a flash, all of the stumbling blocks of relationships gone wrong have become the stepping stones to our perfect love. We fit. I now understand the feeling I used to think was pain that came along with love was actually the discomfort from being in a place I didn’t fit. Thank you for being you… for sharing your love with me… for inspiring me to accept myself… for helping me see the unique beauty in imperfection… for showing me that love is something you do; something not just to be said, but also to be shown. I am not perfect; neither are you. I love that! Our love is perfect. And even though we may not be, our love creates a bridge that spans over our imperfections and joins us where it matters. I love you! © Steve Maraboli From the book, “Unapologetically You“

Let’s Not Forget

Our love is beyond the confines of time… timeless… shapeless… formless… a beautiful dance between uniquely designed souls… fitting as one… As we grow in our love… let’s not forget that we are also growing as individuals… each bringing new dimensions to our relationship… let’s respect each other’s journey… As we grow in our family… let’s not forget that we, as a couple, still need attention… let’s not lose grip of the excitement of our flirtation and our passion for each other… while we tend to the “we,” let’s not forget the “us”… As we grow in age… let’s not forget that our souls are age-less and we still have youthful dreams and wishes… let’s keep conversations open and free… keeping an updated version of each other… let’s not forget that the greatest love stories are nourished in great friendship… we shall keep our love and friendship strong… Through all the challenges life may throw at us; let’s not forget that we are soul mates… companions… individuals… divinely fused together by the immeasurable power of love… and that we can get through it all… as one. © Steve Maraboli From the book, “Unapologetically You”

You and I

When you look at me, your eyes become mine. For I can see what you see and how you see it. You are not alone. Breathe with me; I shall listen to the breath like a melody of love. Together we shall take in new oxygen; a new scoop of life force. Let it spread through your spiritual body. Let it connect with all it may connect with. Cry with me for you are not alone. We, together, shall hold firm the ground and bathe in its healing. Sing with me for you and I are one. We can only breathe together. We are the sun, the moon and the dancing stars. Fly with me for we are angels in this spiritual journey. You and I are the same. You and I are one. You are my neighbor, my brother, my sister – let me wrap you in my love and warm you with eternal compassion. You are not alone for you and I are one. © Steve Maraboli From the book, “Life, the Truth, and Being Free”

Poetic Love

My love, though the sunny moments of our days are sometimes darkened by difficult times, our love is the blessed light that guides us to a spiritual bond that can never be broken. Our hearts dance the sacred dance so many have written of. Embraced by the purest of love, together we stroll along the beach of endless possibilities. A spirit made complete, I am eternally grateful for the blessing of your love. I pray that I may have the insight to show you how much I truly love you. © Steve Maraboli From the book, “Life, the Truth, and Being Free”
