Confession Of Love Quotes

“Shahrzad,

I've failed you several times. But there was one moment I failed you beyond measure. It was the day we met. The moment I took your hand and you looked at me, with the glory of hate in your eyes. I should have sent you home to your family. But I didn't. There was honesty in your hatred. Fearlessness in your pain. In your honesty, I saw a reflection of myself. Or rather, of the man I longed to be. So I failed you. I didn't stay away. Then later, I thought if I had answers, it would be enough. I would no longer care. You would not matter. So I continued failing you. Continued wanting more. And now I can't find the words to say what must be said. To convey to you the least of what I owe. When I think of you, I can't find the air to breathe. And now, though you are gone, there is no pain or fear. All I am left with is gratitude.
When I was a boy, my mother would tell me that one of the best things in life is the knowledge that your story isn't over yet. Our story may have come to a close, but your story is still yet to be told. Make it a story worthy of you.
I failed you in one last thing. Here is my chance to rectify it. It was never because I didn't feel it. It was because I swore I would never say it, and a man is nothing if he can't keep his promises.
So I write it in the sky-
I love you, a thousand times over. And I will never apologize for it.
Khalid”
― Renee Ahdieh, The Wrath and the Dawn

“You're really great. I like you...Or in other words, I fancy you, I love you, I want you, I can't leave you, I whatever you.”
― 墨香铜臭, 魔道祖師 四 [Mo Dao Zu Shi Vol. 4]

“I prefer your company, Em."
He said it as if it were obvious. I snorted again, assuming he was teasing me. "Over the company of a tavern filled with a rapt and grateful audience? I'm sure you do."
"Over anyone else's company." Again, he said it with some amusement, as if wondering what I was doing speculating about something so evident.
"You are drunk," I said.
"Shall I prove it to you?"
"No, you shan't," I said, alarmed, but he was already sweeping to the floor, bending his knee and taking my hand between his.
"What in God's name are you doing?" I said between my teeth. "And why are you doing it now?"
"Shall I make an appointment?" he said, then laughed. "Yes, I believe you would like that. Well, name the time when it would be convenient for you to receive a declaration of love."
"Oh, get up," I said, furious now. "What sort of jest is this, Wendell?"
"You don't believe me?" He smiled, all mischief, a look I'd seen from other Folk, enough to know not to trust him one inch. "Ask for my true name, and I'll give it to you."
"Why on earth would you do that?" I demanded, yanking my hand back.
"Oh, Em," he said forlornly. "You are the cleverest dolt I have ever met."
I stared at him, my heart thundering. Of course, I am not a dolt in any sense; I had supposed he felt something for me and had only hoped he would keep it to himself. Forever. Not that a part of me didn't wish for the opposite. But that was when I assumed his feelings in that respect were equivalent to what he felt for any of the nameless women who passed in and out of his bed. And why would I lower myself to that, when he and I already had something that was vastly more valuable?”

“I like being able to wake up with you. I like knowing you'll be there if I need you," he continued, obviously uncomfortable with what he was saying but refusing to be deterred now that he'd begun. "I like being with you, Zane. And I'd like to keep that up now that you're here," he admitted shakily. He met Zane's eyes determinedly. "I want you.”

“I like you so much I don't know what to do with it. My heart beats so fast when I know I'm going to see you again.”

“I love you," she said wretchedly. “And if I were well, no power on earth could keep me away from you. If I were well, I would take you to my bed, and I would show you as much passion as any woman could.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Seduce Me at Sunrise

“Dearest," she murmured, "as you know, there was a time when it didn't matter to me whether I married a man I loved or not... it seemed enough just to get my family out of the desperate situation we were in. But when I thought about what it would be like to share a bed with my husband... to spend the rest of my life with him... I knew Simon was the only choice." She paused, and sudden tears glittered her eyes. Beautiful, self-possessed Annabelle, who hardly ever cried. "When I'm ill," she continued in a husky voice, "when I'm afraid, when I need something, I know he will move heaven and earth to make everything all right. I trust him with every fiber of my being. And when I see the child we created, the two of us mingled forever in her... my God, how grateful I am that I married Simon.”

“I love you, Sybil Delling. More than anything. And whatever becomes of this world, I'll spend the time I'm afforded without an ounce of pride or disdain or godlessness.' His thumb brushed my lips, his gaze imploring. 'To know you is to forget all three. And I know that you think Traum has no need for its stone objects or false gods, but there is not a world that exists in which I have no need for you.”
― Rachel Gillig, The Knave and the Moon

“Through much resistance on my part, you made it easy, and it was so different from basic relationships or familial love. I didn’t know what it was about you that made things so peculiar. You talk about your scent fetish, but as it turned out, I was also addicted to yours.
It wasn’t a game for me, and I felt it much deeper than I can probably even describe in words—the combining of souls. If you weren’t around, I found myself missing you; I found myself needing you. My body, my mind, and my spirit need you.
I am the world’s biggest fool, the biggest pain in the ass, but I’m stupidly, unapologetically, and whole-heartedly in love with you. I’ve waited so long to tell you that."-Tara”
― RNA Author, Parasite

“What do you want?" I demanded finally.
He tilted his head. "What do you want?"
His face was pale and composed, his pupils narrowed to threadlike slits; there was no hint of hesitation in his body. It came over me again, the knowledge of how little he was human.
He had clung to me in the night. He had saved my life twice. He had seen me, in all my ugliness, and never hated me; and in that moment, nothing else mattered.
"I want my world to be free." I stepped toward him. "I want my sister never to have been hurt by me." I took his hands. "And I want you to say that you love me again."
His hands tightened around mine. "I love you," he said. "I love you more than any other creature, because you are cruel, and kind, and alive. Nyx Triskelion, will you be my wife?"
I knew it was insane to be happy, to feel this desperate exultation at his words. But I felt like I had been waiting all my life to hear them. I had been waiting, all my life, for someone undeceived to love me. And now he did, and it felt like walking into the dazzling sunlight of the Heart of the Earth. Except that the sunlight was false, and his love was real.
It was real.
Very deliberately, I pulled my hands out of his. "You're a demon," I said, staring at the ground.
"Most likely."
"I know what you've done."
"The exciting parts, anyway."
"And I still don't know your name." My hands trembled as I undid my belt, then started to unclasp the brooches. It seemed forever since that first day when I had ripped my bodice open so easily. "But I know you're my husband."
The dress slid down to land on the ground about my feet. Ignifex touched my cheek very gently, as if I were a bird that might be startled into flight. Finally I met his eyes.
"And," I said. "I suppose I do love you."
Then he pulled me in his arms.”

“I love you” tasted like freedom in a way nothing ever had before.”

“Who cares, right? I mean, it’s sort of fitting, you know? And even if there wasn’t this thing between us, I could.…” I shook my head. “Even when he was stuck as a wolf, I felt it. I didn’t know what it was. In hindsight, I should have. I hated it at first, but I got used to it. Then he was gone. It hurt more than I ever thought something like that could. And all I could think about was getting to him. I need him to be my shadow because without him, I’m … I felt lost. He’s snarly. He’s surly. He’s a pain in my fucking ass. But there’s no one like him. Dad told me once that there could be others, that there wasn’t just one person. That we had a choice. I think I’ve made mine, though. If he’ll have me. Do you think he’ll have me? I’m not perfect. I make mistakes.” I shrugged awkwardly. “He sees through that, though. I exasperate him, I annoy him, and he scowls at me like he wants to punch my fucking teeth down my throat. And it all goes away when he says thump, thump, thump. Because he hears my heart and it anchors him. How can I say no to that? Who cares if he’s a man or a woman or somewhere in between? It doesn’t matter. All I care about is that he sees me. Like, really sees me. And I see him.”
I looked at my brothers.
They were gaping at me.
“What?” I said, suddenly self-conscious. I rubbed the back of my neck as my face grew hot.
“Holy shit,” Kelly breathed.
“You love him,” Joe whispered.
I glared at them. “I do not. Shut up.”
“No,” Kelly said, voice growing louder. “You looooooove him.”

“I love you. I am in love with you and falling more in love with you every single day. I have no intention of going anywhere or finding anyone else. Ever. I love you enough at this moment to know you're it for me, and I don't care about anything else. All those things you mentioned? I don't care. I love you. And that means you're mine. But it also means--- and I want you to listen very carefully here, okay?"
Claire tried to nod, her hands flying to his wrists and holding tight.
"It means," Jonny breathed in a low voice, leaning closer until their foreheads touched, "that I am yours. Just yours. Only yours. Which means if anyone is doing any breaking up here, it's going to have to be you, and I'm going to ask you not to do that because there would be no getting over you."
His lips brushed hers once, twice, then sealed over them for a brilliant, blinding, soul-stirring kiss that had Claire tightening her grip on his wrists to keep herself from melting into the tile floor.
This wasn't just a kiss. This was a claiming, a confession, an exclamation point to everything he had said.
This was the engagement ring of non-engaged people who haven't even discussed matrimony.
This was a showstopper of a kiss, and the pièce de résistance of the conversation.
Maybe of the relationship as a whole.”

“So, I guess the point of this, which I hope to arrive at soon because I can’t seem to shut my mouth if my life depended on it, is that I’m not a zombie. I’m not addicted to meth. I’m addicted to you and I don’t want you to go anywhere without me again.”
― T.J. Klune, Tell Me It's Real

“Caysa, I am a prince with no land or ownership to his name, a knight stripped of his title-- a man with no wealth, no prospects and no future. I can make you no promises. I cannot lavish riches upon you or even provide steady food and water. I am a useless man who only has his body and sword, and yet there is nothing I desire more than to stay by your side, Caysa.”

― Isabel Murray, Not That Complicated

“I lied yesterday when I said I didn’t want you. I want you. I want you so bad it’s killing me. But I’m not what you want—I can’t be what you want. God, you’re so beautiful, you could have anyone. Why would you want someone like me who’s as fucked up inside as I am outside?”
“Maybe because I love you?”
― Rowan Speedwell, Finding Zach

“Carter?”
“Yeah?”
He said, “I like you.”
That was it. So simple. So devastating. As if he hadn’t knocked me flat. As if he hadn’t changed everything I’d ever known. Three simple words, his heart steady and true, and I’d never felt so alive. It was at once an ending and a beginning.
So I said, “I like you too.”
― T.J. Klune, Brothersong

“A victim of a curse falling for the hot cursebreaker who saved their life?” he said. “I might be a lot of things, but I refuse to be a cliché.”
“What about a hot cursebreaker falling for the curse victim they were sent to save?” Ash asked, and Morgan stared at him, barely noticing how close they were, too focused on the words spilling between them. “I have zero issues being a cliché.”
― A.M. Rose, Like a House on Fire

“I need them to know. Because you help me function. You keep me going. You’re what keeps me sane and makes me happy and they need to know that you’re a permanent part of my life. A necessity. I want you there with me. I’m not hiding you or me anymore.”
― A.M. Rose, Fool Me Twice

“What does it feel like?” Vid asked.
[...]
"You feel right,” he whispered into the tiny space between their lips. “You feel inevitable, inescapable. Like I’ve waited all my life to meet you and now that you’re here, it’s all lined up.”
― A.M. Rose, Bond

“Maybe you’re right. I mean…how could I have known he was lying? Not like I know what it’s like to be loved. Nobody ever loved me,” he said, refusing to allow himself to cry.

"You do know what love looks like, darling,” Darian said, brushing a tear away from his lashes with his thumb. “It’s drawing hearts with flowers in a bathtub. It’s pretending you like oatmeal because the other person can’t eat anything else for a couple of weeks. It’s allowing someone to move everything in your greenhouse around just to see them smile proudly at the good job they’d done. It’s taking care of each other, spending time together, wanting to be with someone forever. You do know what it’s like to be loved, Tate, because I love you.”
― A.M. Rose, Heartwood

“Lorin placed his mouth at Kit’s ear, whispering the words, “I love you.”
Kit’s breath hitched, an animal whimper escaping his throat.
Lorin clutched him tighter, cupping his head, his voice rough. “My soul knew it and chased you down the path before I even knew the way.”

“Your Mine" he whispered, a shaky breath fell from his lips as he confessed "No matter how much I fight myself…I’m Yours Truly, you have my heart Gi.”
