“I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.”
- Charles Dickens
Reason no.3
That in present tense.
I LOVE YOU MADLY.
With my eyes open & with my eyes closed.
-Art by Rene Magritte-
“I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.”
-Johnathan Safran Foer
Reason no.4
Is that clear?
-Art by Frida Kahlo-
If you stay we can
figure out how long it takes.The way you kiss me around
the wrists. Tap messages on my back. Don’t saya word. Write to me only in French. Turn
the thermostat down to sixty and padto the kitchen in socks, wrapped up
in blankets like secrets. Boil a pot of water. Twocups will do. Come back with tea. Steam will
fog between us as we wait under quilts.
— Brett Elizabeth Jenkins, “Waiting For Rain”
Reason no.5
I love you.
Because that is it.
I love you.
I really do.
Truly,Fondly&Deeply.

“There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams — not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with a creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with every bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
Reason no.6
I love your passion and I mostly love your beautiful heart.
I will swim trough the ocean to meet them again. Also you got mine too, so that´s probably a good idea… before I die.
-Art by John Collier-
Reason no.7
New York is vanishing.
And I love it. I had my time here. Now, my time is with you.
I love you for time shared, and the time that hasn´t come yet.
-Art by a LIFE photojournalist-
Fact. This is an almond blossom, but…
~I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.~
Pablo Neruda
(And you knew this one already, but probably you do not remember babe)
Reason no.10
I think I love you because you have such a crappy memory.
& you won´t forgive me, because I won´t let you do that.
EVER.
-Art by Vicent Van Gogh-
~The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I loved her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.~
Charles Dickens for Great Expectations.
Reason no.11
I love you simply because I found YOU irresistible.
-Art by Henri Cartier-Bresson-
Yesterday night.
Marry me & let’s have a lazy dog and a shelf full of old books. Let’s cook every night with lovely music and beer and wine and your arms around me while washing the dirty dishes. Let’s have a silly talk about work and how crappy monday will ever be and of course after all that ritual let’s go to bed and kiss and make love and dream one more time and then over and over. Let’s have a beautiful baby and let him wakes us at 4am for milk or pipi or poopoo. Let’s pray for sunday and movies at our comfy sofa, let’s buy a bunch of fluffy blankets, let’s built a home, you and I and our infinite love.
