Any tiny bit of poetry, typically one or two lines, rhyming or otherwise; small bite sized pieced of text.
Please accept my most humble considerations as I did not want this book to come across as preachy or finger-pointy or blamey or holier-than-thou in any way. Yet as I wrote this book I realized that no matter what, some of those things come into play when representing the importance of something. Especially when expressing the true passion of a topic. Just as a Sunday-go-to-meeting bible preacher would have a difficult time expressing his words without yelling loudly and flailing his arms in every direction; so it goes, important subjects often go in that direction.
Every word in this book is true. The kind of truth that makes you put your left hand on the Bible and forces you raise your right hand. It’s the kind of truth that George Washington would have told.
But it is also segmented truth; truth that may apply to you and to you and to you, but might not apply to you, or to you, or to you. It’s the kind of truth that might imply that we all wear the same size shoe. Put simply, one sentence may be fact for you today, but may become a bold face nose grower for you tomorrow.
Love can be for a friend.
And
Love can be for your child.
And
Love can be for a parent or grandparent.
Well frankly, love can be for absolutely anything to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
We “love” all of the above loves, but for the intentions of this book, we will be discussing the kind of love that is more associated with the words amour, eros, adulation & ardor.
The kind of love that makes you prance
The kind of love that makes you dance
^
The kind of love that makes you climb a mountain
The kind of love that makes you jump in a fountain
#
When it was just you, words weren’t necessary.
You thought of it, you did it.
You felt it, you acted on it.
If you wanted something, you didn’t have to express your thoughts on that something, you knew why you wanted it and you acquired that something.
I saw a coat in my favorite store
And so I thought and thought some more
^
I bought that covering and brought it home
I wear it often, I’m on my own
AND NOW THAT “SPECIAL SOMEONE” ARRIVES
Now a fantastically special person steps into your personal picture and dynamics change.
You think something, you share it.
You feel something, you express it.
When I go to a movie, please always be there
Because all that I am, I’m ready to share
^
Everything together, I want to always do
That person with me must always be you
Now it is not just you that matters to you, you now have someone else that matters to you. You truly care what someone else thinks. You are now passionate about how “that someone” else feels.

We all have reasons for loving who we love. Some reasons are deeply serious, while others are for very silly reasons; but are no less deep.
Some reasons take a very long time to become love, while other reasons are gunslinger fast and corral you into love in exactly one blink of an eye.
Just a few pages away is a testament to the reasons we fall in love. Whether it is in an instant and lasts a lifetime or develops over time and stands strong for as long as you breathe.
I turn around and saw you there
I’ve never seen someone like you anywhere
^
I don’t care that it’s only been one minute
I have a long life ahead and I want you in it

THE “I LOVE YOU” REALITY CHECK
The importance of saying I love you is crucial. One strong reason is confidence. Love confidence. Confidence is everything to everything. It is the building blocks of all that is good. Confidence manufactures, erects and backs personal traits like drive, goals, motivation, stamina and persistence; naming just a few to begin the list.
Saying I love you (and showing I love you; more on this later) continually builds your loved ones confidence in your relationship. Confidence in your relationship keeps the nasties away. Nasties; by definition are the things that can break up relationships. The list of nasties is long and can really (quite literally) be anything.
Build & maintain confidence in your relationship and you’ll greatly increase the odds of both of you maintaining your “loves focus.” Defined; this is the focus that keeps two pairs of eyes trained on each other, this focus includes every part of your relationship, every part of your love & every action you undertake with your love.
It needs to be mentioned here that all acts of kindness, including love, is just as much for you as it is for the person you are kind to or are in love with; more on this later.
I’ll say I love you and say it again & again
I’ll continue to say it always from beginning to end
^
I feel strongly about all that we are and have
Expressing our mutual love is a warm & soothing salve

So, here’s the deal, in order for anything to last, it has to be maintained.
A car needs oil to make it last
Without care, it dies real fast
^
A lawnmower needs to have a sharpened blade
Or your grass grows so tall, it provides shade
^
A mind needs to flex its intellectual muscle
Or your thoughts will not have any hustle
Anything properly maintained can last. It is a fact. This also includes the subject of this book – love.
Some things are built with a traditional foundation made of brick, mortar, stone or steel; while other structures require rubber, silicone, neoprene or Kevlar as their foundation. But no matter the material or the process by which they are assembled into something permanent, the finished product requires physical, real world cleaning solutions and mending materials. Components such as putty’s, patches and sealants are items that might be used to perform necessary maintenance, securing the durability of a structure.
However, there is nothing better than preventing a fix. Prevention armors anything. This can be achieved in many different ways, but in the end it is done by nurturing and caring for all of the individual parts of the whole. No repair necessary if it isn’t broken.
The body and soul have equivalents that act the same and perform similarly to the maintenance and repair items listed above. The body has exercise, immunization, medication and rest. The soul is affected by these items to some degree, but has its own special maintenance, in part, by the subject of this book; the love parts, which can affect every part.
