Nicholas SparksI love you now for what we've already shared, and I love you now in anticipation of all that's to come.
About This Quote
When you first fall in love, the concept of "now" and "then" seem to fade. You're already there, and all that comes after seems like a logical extension of what's already there. But as you get closer to the person you love, the experiences you've had together begin to shape your memories. The "now" becomes a point of reference, a way to remember all the good times you've shared. And then there's the anticipation. You begin to look forward to what's going to come next – not just the future lovers you're going to meet, but all the moments you're going to spend with your current lover, too.
What will she say? What will he do? How will they look at each other? When will I see that smile again? These are memories that strengthen your relationship because they remind you of what's already been shared and how much you enjoy it now. They make it easier for an anniversary gift to feel special, since it came from a place of love and not obligation or expectation.
