My One
True Love
Who is my one true love? The one I talk to
on the phone, the one I joke around with, the one I see in the hall, or the
one that I don’t even know at all. How will I know who he is? Will he say
“Hi” now and then, or will he take me in his arms and tell me “I Love You”.
Love can be strange. Love can give you high hopes or make you fall. It can
give you a kiss like you never had before, or it can give you a heartache
that feels like it will never go away. But love will find a way to send me
my one true love, like the brightest star in the night sky, that out shines
the rest. My one true love will hold me from sunrise to sunset. Be in each
others arms all day that will seem like we have known each other forever.
Never lose sight of each other. Never lose this love we have. Always be in
each others arms. Always having you on my mind from day till night. Until we
see again. This love will never end. So as I fall asleep I get to think.
Will I see him in my dreams? Will my dreams come true? So as I look up at
the sky and the many stars out there. I end this night asleep in the arms of
my one true love.

Dreaming
Of You
Here I am dreaming of you with all my mind.
Dreaming of our love together for each other. Dreaming of your eyes, your
hair, your smile, your lips, your voice just makes me wish that you were
here. Dreaming of us on the beach together laying on the warm sand seeing
the sunrise. Being the only two there in so much love that everyone else
seems to disappear. Waking-up to be playing, splashing, running in the cool,
clear water. Having a picnic on the beach. Having fun all day. Then at night
to be in your arms seeing the sunset on the cool sand. Falling asleep
keeping each other warm with our love for each other. Asleep in your arms is
all I need to feel safe. When I wake-up will I be in your arms laying on the
warm sand of the beach? I don’t know if I will be, but if this is a dream
don’t wake me up and if it isn’t let me never sleep. But if it is let me
sleep until the sunsets and I’ll be together with my one true love.

I Love You
How can I tell you that I love you? How can
I show you that I want to be with you? We all need someone to love and I’m
in love with you. When I meet you my life has changed. Now I have high hopes
for everything. I love your hair, your eyes, your lips, your laugh your
everything. I love how you think and are. I love you, but do you love me? I
wish I could tell you, but my thoughts of rejection get in the way. I want
to be founded with desire. Hear the pounding of my heart, it is pounding for
you. Can you hear it? Can you hear the drums pounding in my heart, pounding
every minute of the day for you. I want to be secure when I’m with you. Safe
in the arms of the love. I want to see your eyes. Those eyes that I can see
that love I wish I had. That love that I want with you and only you. So I’ll
just see what happens, but until then I’ll be here waiting for you.

Angel
Somewhere out there beyond the Earth’s
atmosphere, beyond human touch is Heaven. Heaven is the only place that you
could be from. You, a savior sent down from the heavens above to rescue me
in my time of need. You lifted up my spirits and chased away my fears.
You’ve done so much for me. Your eyes have an uniqueness of love in them
that could last forever. Your voice is like a sweet song in the breeze. Was
it fate that we would come together? Yes it was destiny. Destiny is what
made me hold your strong hands. Destiny is what made me kiss those sweet
lips. I could die in your arms tonight knowing you, my angel, would take me
up with you to be together forever. Any eternal love could never measure up
to the love we have for each other. You must be an angel for when I saw you
it was love at first sight. I still remember the first time we went out.
Every girl looking at you with love and me with jealously, because you were
in my arms and not theirs. You brought me into a whole new world and I never
want to go away. I love you as you love me. Now here we are holding each
other tight. Wishing and praying no one could tear us apart. Not even Heaven
its self could take me away from you. So now I thank the heavenly gods from
above for sending me a love that this world has never known. You, my angel
of love.
Keep In Mind:
“Some love is so pure and true it is
like Heaven and Earth, two strong forces
of love, joined you and me together.

Love
Forever
How is it to have a love always wanted? A
love that you thought could never separate you two, but then you never
though about death. How can it be so cruel as to take the love of your life
away from you. I feel a part of me was taken away when the gods took you to
heaven. Now here I am alone without you in my arms it feels so cold. So cold
I can’t bear it. I could cover myself with a hundred blankets and still not
be warm. I need you, but it doesn’t matter how much I wish and pray you
can’t come back to me. Now you are my angel looking out for me. I feel you
with me right now. I can feel your hand stroking my hair over and over
again. I remember falling asleep in your arms when you did that to me. Those
strong arms around my body like a shield of love protecting me from evil,
but why wasn’t I there when it happened. I would have been your shield of
love. I would have died for you, because to me there is no life without you.
So now as I lay me down to rest I pray to the Lord to let me see you again.
But for now as I lay down outside looking up at the sky I see the moon, the
stars, and a new angel watching over me. Until we see again I will love you
on heaven, on Earth, anywhere at anytime, but before I say good-bye let me
kiss those sweet lips for one last time. One last time is all I ask of you.
So good night my love until we see again.

Life
Having a miracle like this is, like
reaching up and touching the stars in the night sky. I feel it growing in me
a little life that will be yours and mine forever. This feeling I can’t deny
it. This feeling of warmth and so much love that is perfect in so many ways.
I don’t think that their isn’t anything so perfect like this feeling I have
about my baby. Is it a boy, is it a girl, or is it even twins? Either way I
will love them no matter what happens to me love will just grow stronger and
stronger everyday. So now as I rest I get to think about my future, your
future, and my baby’s future. Our lives together and our love that is
forever.
Keep In Mind:

happens because that baby is yours

Courage Of
Love
How can I be so near, yet so far away from
you? I love you with all my heart yet you don’t even know that I love you. ?
Why am I so scared to tell you? I don’t know, but I do know that I want to
tell you. I guess I’m just afraid that you don’t love me back. I want to be
founded with desire. My promise to you is that if you love me. I will love
you back and I will give you a love that this world has never known. So now
as I tell you that I love you. My wish is that you would say “Yes” and hold
me and kiss me and tell me “I Love You Too”. That you would tell me that you
were scared that I didn’t love you and you love me too. Then be together as
boyfriend and girlfriend. Will my wish come true? I hope it does. So now I’m
going to tell you I love you and wait to see what happens.

Three
Lights
Three lights of miracles happened to me.
One greater then the other. First the light of my birth. For the first time
to see my parent’s eyes light up with joy and so much full of love. Then
when I thought nothing could be greater. My second light shined on you my
love. It shined on the one true love that I’ve been wanting all my life for.
Then I felt that my world was complete. But I was wrong and I’m glad I was.
When the third light of my life was lighted up with the birth of our baby.
Holding that baby in my arms was the greatest feeling that I could have ever
have. Holding him and you my love was the greatest light of all.

somebody and there is always

Eyes
My eyes have seen so much. They have seen
the love of my life come into my world. They have seen the hate in this
world and even some that I didn’t want to see. They have seen the anger of
others including myself. The anger I wish I didn’t have. They have seen the
loyalty of my friends, family, and myself. The loyalty that I wish I could
see more of. Time and time again these eyes have seen a love that is
unbreakable to a betrayal that I thought wasn’t ever possible. There is so
much I know because I saw them with my own two eyes. There is so much I wish
I could tell you, but I can’t because it is something that this world isn’t
ready for, or wouldn’t believe. So I guess I will keep it to myself what I
have seen until the right time comes for me to tell you all that I know. But
until that time comes here I’ll sit and wait for a sign to tell me when that
time is. So when that time has come I will reveal everything to you. Step by
step, a little bit at a time, so wait and listen and you’ll see everything.

Angry
I feel a pain all over me. In my legs, in
my back, in my arms, in my head, and even in my soul. I feel it growing more
and more with the more angry, worried, upset, and frightened I get. Why do I
feel this way? Why can’t I be happy like a normal person? Does a normal
person cry for no reason, or feels that there is nothing for them? Does a
normal person feel an anger in them and all around them, or do they feel
like dieing for nothing matters or could change the way they feel even about
death? Some people think that is the answer and I’m trying not to make it my
answer. I feel so trapped and confused that I wish someone can led me to
happiness, to love, to my freedom of my anger. But everybody has to suffer
all my life. In family, in love, in luck, and even with my friends. Why did
God choose me to suffer so much? Why was I picked out of hundreds, and
thousands, and millions, and billions of people, but why me. Do I have
something that can change the world, or am I being punished for something I
did in a past life? Will this ever change? Will I ever find eternal
happiness in this life of mine? Lead me to the light of happiness; show me
how to love, help me fight for my freedom of angry forever.

Thinking
About You
As I sit here at my desk. I get to think of
you. How you are? How you are feeling? If you are all right? I miss you with
all my heart. I miss looking into those eyes that melt my heart. Those eyes
that I can see heaven and all of that love you gave to me. That word love
was just a word, but you gave it a feeling that burns inside of me. An
endless flame that not all of the oceans could put out. A love that is
bigger then the heavens above. Out in the heavens above where you came from.
You, my saint from out of the night to rescue me and carry me off with you
into the moonlit sky. Carry me out of my worries. Carry me out of my
sorrows. Carry me out of my fears. Save me from the bitter cold of hate and
into your arms of love. Because love knows no boundaries and our boundaries
can last for eternity. I know you aren’t here with me right now, but I can
hear you saying “Come with me. Don’t be afraid. Stay with me forever.” I
just want to say “Yes, I will be with you forever.” But when I look up you
are not there. You are not there to carry me away to our city of love. But
until I see you again I now say farewell and good night to my handsome
prince.

Love
I didn’t know how I can love you, but I do.
I just met you yesterday, yet it seems you’re known each other forever. Just
seeing those eyes opened my heart to you. When your hands touched my hands I
felt them rough, but your tender kisses made it all better. I felt like
Juliet and you, my Romeo, destined to be together and letting nothing break
us apart. When your arms were around me I knew you were the one that I have
been waiting my whole life for. You, my knight in shining armor and I your
angel of love. Together anything is possible. We could runaway together,
live on our own, make it though, rise a family, live and die knowing we did
it by our strength and undying love for each other.

Happy
Mother’s Day
Are you an angel? Yes, you must be for you
are my angel of life and love. You gave me life in this world to explore and
discover everything you have and more. You have given me love that I could
never repay back to you because if I could it would take an eternity and
more. You have always helped me through thick and thin, through tough times,
and always when I needed your love you were always there with open arms when
I needed your love now I try my best to repay you back for everything that
you have given me. So Happy Mother’s Day to you, my angel because that’s the
only place you could have come from heaven.

Leaving
Now that you are leaving away to another
land far away from me. I get to think of you. I get to think what you are
doing. If you are all right. If you are well. If you still remember me. It
has been a long time since I’ve seen you. Now I can only see your glowing
smile in pictures. Pictures of you and me hugging and laughing without a
care in the world, but that was then. Now I await for you to come home. To
see you so I would know that you are alright. To see you, to hug you, to
kiss you, to feel your hair through my fingers. To be with you and never
lose sight of you because I love you with my heart and soul and want your
love in return. You are my friend and that is what I want to be with you.
Friends Forever and always help each other out. So now I say good bye until
I see you again. Our friendship will never end. It doesn’t matter how many
miles, or how many boundaries get in the way for I would find a way to cross
them to hear your sweet voice. So bye my friend for now because I know we
will see each other again someway somehow.

Idea
Who is my idea guy? A guy that I can be in
his arms. I could look into his eyes that would melt my heart. His lips so
tender, his hair so fair that he would seem to be my Prince Charming. His
kisses so fair I wish I had one every minute. When is this guy? Is he in my
life? But with hope on my side I’m sure to find him. Maybe even in one of
the weirdest of places but after we meet it will turn into the most romantic
place on Earth. Then nothing can come between us. Not even death can
separate our undying love for each other. We would cross any boundaries, or
even climb any heights to be with each other. So as I wonder if he is in my
life. I will wait and see for my guy to come and hold me so close that we
would be one. So you and me together would make the new meaning of love to a
more higher feeling that his world has never felt. With you by my side we
could touch heaven, to feel the other thing that could compare to us. So as
I think of you, I say Good Night until tomorrow.

Trust
Who can I trust? My family, my best friend,
my boyfriend, or a complete stranger. I feel so trapped and confused that I
don’t know what to do. I wish on all the stars in the sky for an answer to
my many questions. Will everything be all right? Will I ever trust again?
Because I have been hurt so many times it feels so hard to trust anyone. But
I have a feeling that I can trust you. I don’t know why but I do. I feel
like you are someone that can feel what I feel, hurt when I hurt, and cry
when I cry. I have never met someone like this, but fate has its ways of
bringing people to help out one another in a time of need. So with you and
fate by my side anything is possible.

Hole In My
Soul
I had a hole in my soul, but that was
before I met you, the one that I have been waiting my whole life for. You
are the one that lifted my spirits and chased away my fears. Before you , I
thought no love could be so true, but then I never knew you. I always wished
upon a star for a love like you to come to me. Now I know if you wish with
all your might that wish will come true. Before you, I could only dream of
someone holding me so tight, kissing me so tender, and looking into each
others eyes and only seeing love that is so pure and true. Now you have made
my dreams a reality and even more sweeter and passionate then I could had
ever imagined them to be. I feel like no harm can come to me when I’m with
you, because of those strong arms of a god that you have can fight off any
evil that gets in our way. My love for you is like the stars in the night
sky that shine hundreds of miles away to reach here, but my love will shine
farther so that all my love will shine on you forever. Now I sit here and
wait for you to come to me. To hear your voice, to see your face would make
me so happy that I could never be sad again. But if by chance I were to be
sad I know you would be there helping me, comforting me, and protecting me
from my fears. So now I say good night until tomorrow my love for you will
never end. So good night again for this day is almost done and the new day
rises a little more every second that the clock ticks. For the new day is
almost upon us so good night until tomorrow.

Abuelito /
Abuelita
I our family we are only three girls and no
boys and in our family we are the only granddaughters in our family. My
grandpa would make up names for us. For example, my oldest sister was a pre
mature baby and it was hard for her to walk and when she had to learn she
would walk on her toes. So when my older sister always wore a bunny bib so
he called her La Bunny. Then for me I always had on this white sleeper with
a butterfly in the side and so he would call me the Butterfly and one day I
would fly away from him.

Thank You
Every day and night I think about how you
have helped me get through the day. How your encouraging word leads me a way
or how your smile can help me forget my fears. You have taught me a lot, but
what have I taught you. Have I taught you to smile, laugh, or express your
feels more? Because that is what you have taught me. I thought that I
couldn’t have so much fun in one day, with one friend, and in just a few
hours. But you proved me wrong and I’m glad you did. So thank you my friend
for everything.

Do I Want
You?
How can I love somebody I hardly know? My
mind and heart tells me yes, but my friends tell me no. I feel trapped and
don’t know what to do. I need someone to show me the way to my one true
love. My one true love that will hold me from sunrise to sunset. A person
that will tell me that he loves me and be there for me when ever I need him.
Will I find him today or tomorrow I don’t really care, when ever that day
may come will be the most happiest days of my life. I hope also for him,
because I will tell him that I love him as he will tell me too. So as I wait
for that day to come, I sit and wait for him to come to me with open arms to
hold me until the end of time, until eternity. He will hold me when I am
troubled, happy, or sad. When I feel like being hugged or when I don’t feel
anything at all. Well until then my arms awaiting for you to come to me. Bye

Once Upon
A Dream
I know you. I’ve walked with you once upon
a dream, but this time it is a reality. Moving up and down , side to side,
all around you make me feel as if we were dancing in mid air. When you wrap
me in your wings and hold me so tightly I feel like nothing could break us
apart. When I look around us I can’t see anybody because when I dance with
you nothing else matters, just you and me. Dancing all night, dancing till
sunrise, seeing your face glow with the love that we feel for each other.
Seeing that nothing can come between us. Not even age, race, or even our
backgrounds could tear us apart. Seeing anything that tries to break us
apart know the meaning of our love and give us their blessings and wishes
that we would be together always. So now as we dance in each others arms
seeing, hearing, feeling our love for each other. We thank the Lord for
granting us this dream into a reality forever and ever.

Heaven Is
Missing An Angel
Heavenly gods from above than k you
for sending me a love that this world has never known. I always wanted to
know how I could talk to an angel, but now I know all I have to do is talk
to you. You my angel of love, peace, and happiness. The only person that can
take all of my fears and worries and make them banish by just looking at
your sweet, angelic face. I hope the man upstairs isn’t mad at me for I
can’t help falling I love with you. I am falling from every angle thought
up, for I know that when I fall I will end up in your strong arms. Yes, I
know heaven is missing an angel, but my life would never be the same without
your love. For now because of you heaven is a place on Earth and I will
never let anybody take that away from me. So now we lay in each others arms
and thank the gods from above for letting you come and stay with me.

Forever
How can I talk to an angel? Do I tell him
that I love him and never let anything get in the way of my love for you?
Which ever way I choose to tell him when I finish we will end up together in
each others arms and stay that way until the sunrises the next day for then
we will explore a whole new world together. The sun would shine brighter,
the birds would sing sweeter, and the clouds would be the whitest in the sky
for us to see, and the sky would be the most beautiful blue that was ever
shown in the day sky. The seconds would last for days, the minutes would
last for months, and the day would last forever. Just you and me always and
forever in each others arms. You would be there to comfort me in my time of
need, you putting your arms around me holding me so tight. Feeling your heat
beat next to mine. Feeling your strong arms wrapped around me, seeing
feeling knowing that everything would be all right. Knowing that you would
be by my side until the end of time. So now as we fall asleep in each others
arms I say Good Night to my sweet Prince until we wake we can see each other
in our dreams and then make our reality, Good Night my sweet angel of love
until tomorrow for a brand new day for us together forever.

Suffering
Why should a person have to suffer?
Everybody has to suffer and my time has come. I feel so confused from inside
my soul to outside my body. The reason that I am suffering right now is
because I haven’t heard your sweet voice, felt your sweet embrace around me,
or felt your kisses that can melt my body. Where are you? Because that is
where I want to be right now. Are you all right? It hurts me not knowing if
you are all right or if you are hurt because it doesn’t matter what the
problem is I will help you by holding you tightly and kissing your fears and
worries away. I feel like crying right now. I need to see you. I miss you so
much that it hurts all over my body and only you, my love can cure me from
all of this pain. Not knowing where you are is killing me, making me weak,
making me cry and I don’t know what to do, but think about you. Are you
asleep in bed dreaming about me, are you looking up at the stars in the
night sky, or are you looking at a picture of us together? Where ever you
are I want to be with you no matter where you are or what you are doing,
because I love you. For now it is best if I fall asleep so that I can see
you, hear you, and feel you in my dreams. So Good Night for now until I see
you again my love for you will never end. Good Night.

will love them even if you don’t

The
Perfect Guy
All my life I’ve always wondered who would
be the perfect guy for me. I’ve always wondered and wondered, but that was
until I meet you. The one that has mysterious eyes, lips, that are so sweet
and tender that I could kiss them for hours. Big strong arms that hold me so
tightly I know that I would never fall from you. He would have a love for me
that would last twenty lifetimes. Someone that will be there for me when I
am down for I would know where to turn, to the one that I love. He would
dance with me, even if he doesn’t know how to dance, he would still hold on
to me and follow my lead. Even if he isn’t the next Frank Sinatra, he will
sing the most sweetest words ever sung, because just hearing his voice is
music to my ears. He would make me laugh, for a man with a smile is
priceless. His love would be strong both physically and mentally, so that he
can carry me and be smart to provide for me. Now I know who the perfect guy
is for me. For it is you, my love. Your are the love that I have been
searching all of my life for. Now I can drop to my knees and thank God that
I have finally found you. For every single night I had been wishing on the
first star that I saw in the night’s sky for a love that this world has
never known. I know now that God has finally heard my prayers. For you are
here with me and I will never let go of this love that I have for you. Now
tonight and every night from now on I will sleep in your strong arms and
kiss your sweet lips for the rest of time. Good night until tomorrow when we
can see our new world together again.
Keep In Mind:
The perfect guy is out there for
everybody. It just takes time until
you find him, and when you do find
him don’t let him go. Because even
if the world is against you two. The
both of you can make your own
world together and everything will
be all right.

Who’s arms would I be in? Who’s lips would I be kissing? Who’s love would my
heart pound for? Who’s eyes would I get lost in? I couldn’t think of anyone,
but you. You are my picture perfect man of desire. The only one that my mind
thinks of. I can’t eat or sleep for my mind is working on overtime for you.
So place don’t go. Don’t leave me behind, but instead take me with you. For
I will follow you where ever you go. For you have my heart in your hand and
I can’t live without my heart. I can’t live without you in my life for you
are what makes my heart sing with the desire you give me. So please stay
with me because I can’t settle for second best, for I need the one and only
original, my one and only true love of my life. You are the one true person
that really knows me. You know my wants and needs like no one else knows
them. No one has ever known me like this and I’m glad that you know me like
this. For you care and really love me, because I can see it in your eyes
that you are not just playing games with me. For there is no game for what
we have just a feeling that grows more and more everyday when I see, hear,
or even think about you. So please stay in my arms when you will always be
loved and wanted forever and ever. So now that you have made your decision.
Now I can say Thank You for stay with me, my love.

Follow your love where ever
he may go, because life without

Afraid To
Love
There was once a time when I was
afraid to love. I feared this so much because my fear was that the person
that I loved didn’t love me back. Not even a little bit compared with my
love that I would have had for him. I was afraid of being hurt, my heart
breaking and shattering to the ground in front of me. For if that had
happened I could have never had the strength to pick up all the pieces. But
that was then before I meet you. You have given me the strength to love and
know the true meaning of the word love. Also most importantly you have
showed me how to use it and when to say it, which is every time I see or
hear from you. If I had ever known that being in love would feel like this I
wouldn’t have ever feared it. For I want this feeling to never leave me. I
feel this way when I see, hear, smell, taste, or touch you. I can even feel
this when I feel your presence around me. Because of you I can feel this
sixth sense and I know if there was a seventh sense I would have it to, for
it would be love. Not that many people would have this seventh sense,
because some people don’t know the true meaning of the word love, but thanks
to you I know the meaning of this word. So now thanks to you I am no longer
afraid to love, but instead running toward it. So thank you for teaching me
one lesson only you could have taught me. Once again thank you and I Love
You.
Keep In Mind:
Don’t be afraid to love someone
if you truly in your heart love him
because that love is the greatest
gift in the world.

Love Heard
Around The World
Every night at ten o’clock I hear a siren
in my little home town. Everybody in town can hear this siren, but just
image if they could hear the siren in my heart for you. For this siren would
be louder then any other siren heard in the world. It would be so loud that
the satellites up in outer space would pick it up so clear. That the signal
would read I Wanna Be With You, The Love Of My Life. So that everybody in
the world would know that I love you. Then everybody would know that I am
yours and you are mine. Even our parents would know that I am yours and you
are mine. Even our parents would know about the love that we have for each
other, and not even they could break us apart. For I believe that this love
is greater then the love of Romeo and Juliet, because in the end we will
survive and still be together as one. If I could I would put in every single
newspaper and magazine the headlines that I am yours and you are mine. I
would have planes do skywriting if I could. That is how much I love you and
more. I love you so much that it couldn’t be measured on a scale that can go
up that high up. My love for you is this great because I know that you love
me too. For you told me those three words that makes my heart soar. Those
three, little, lovely, beautiful words, I Love You. Even if I can’t let the
whole world know that I love you. Knowing that in my world and yours know,
is everybody that needs to know how much we love each other.

If you love somebody don’t be

The Best
Everybody’s fighting to be the best. To be
the best. What does that mean? To be the best for you or for everybody else.
Everyone practices and trains, but being the best comes from the heart, and
soul into something. There are many different terms about being the best.
Like being the best at playing an instrument, being the best at playing a
sport, or being the best as to the terms of love. You can be the best as to
being the best to the person that you love. If you truly love and cherish
the person you are with and will still love them until the day you die and
beyond, then you are truly the best person that you can be in the heart,
mind, and soul of the person you love. Because being the best in love is a
whole lot harder than being the best in a sport. In sports you have training
and practices that lasts for days and hours, but there is no training or
practices when it comes to love, you just feel it in your heart. So until
you find this feeling in your heart you just have to keep on searching,
because when you do find it then you will know that it is the greatest
feeling in Heaven or Earth.

Be true to the person you love
and he will love you for it.

The Season of Love
In this weather
that I love, because I get to be near you even more. When I put myself in
front of you in your strong arms that lift me up and carry me around. Your
arms that keep me safe and warm. Safe from danger and warm from the harsh
cold of the winter wind. How your kisses warm my body; for I have never
tasted anything as sweet. For I know that they are kisses of true love. When
I hold you so close to me and when I put my ear on your chest, I swear I can
hear the letters spell out, I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U. I Love You so much like you
wouldn’t believe. I Love You in the winter, spring, summer, and of course in
the fall. For that was when I fell for you. When I fell into your arms and
knew that was the right place for me to be. The sound of your voice make me
want to cry tears of joy and always put a smile on my face. You make my
tears of sadness into tears of joy whenever you are around. How your hands
hold mine so gently and so kind. How the simple touch of your kiss on my
hand, make me never want this moment to end so that I can remember it
forever. I have never felt this way about anyone else before and don’t want
this to end. This everlasting love that we have will carry us their thought
the future in a protective circle, that nobody would ever break for our love
is so strong it would over come it. So good night my love until I see you
again, and remember I’ll always love you. So good night again because in our
love there are no good-byes, only love. I Love You Always.
Keep In Mind:
Tell the person that you love that you love them.
Even though they all ready know, it is still nice
and
sweet to hear it.

You Didn’t Need To
You didn’t need to bring me flowers.
You didn’t need to walk me to my door. You didn’t need to hug, hold my hand,
or kiss me. You didn’t need to hold me when I cried. You even didn’t need to
say that you love me. But you did, and that is what made it so special to
me. You are the reason that I cry tears of joy. You are the reason why I
wake up in the morning to see your smiling face, your beautiful baby blue
eyes, and your soft tender lips. Your gentle lips that take my breath away
every time that you kiss me. Every thing that you have given me, you didn’t
have to. You even gave me your touch, your secrets, your fears, and even
your heart. But most of all you gave me a love that I had been searching
for, and now my search is over for I have no doubt in my mind that you are
the one for me. The one for me to hold, kiss, and love for all time. I love
you with all of my heart and soul for that is what I feel. So thank you for
doing all the things you didn’t have to do. Also don’t forget I love you
too.

4 Your Sweetheart
The reason why I
love my sweetheart is because there isn’t anyone like him. He always is
there for me, always has the sweetest words to say. He has arms wide open to
comfort and hug me. And when I look into his eyes I know his love is true.

You Believed In Me
You believed in me when
nobody else would. You helped me when nobody else did. You cared for me when
nobody else would. You loved me when nobody else did. You stood by my side
and held my hand to lead me to the next passing day. You lifted up my
spirits along with my broken heart. You have heard me sing, laugh, and cry,
while I look into your big beautiful brown eyes. And though all of these
times you have held me close to you. For when I am that close to you is when
I can look into your eyes and see the signs of love that I have been waiting
my whole life for. Those brown eyes that remind me of the tree trunks that
gave us shade when I was in your arms at that little park in the corner of
town. Where you pushed me on a swing. Where I felt I could fly away from all
of my pain and sorrow, and fly to peace and happiness with you. That day I
saw that bright light in you that was so big that it shined all around you.
It was there in you all along, but I was to blind to see it. That was until
you shined your light down on me that made me feel so special. You lead me
to the true place where I can feel safe, in your strong arms. In your arms
is where my fears are chased away and my happiness is held. Your love is
what makes me live to the next passing day. Your eyes that are the picture
of love that show me how perfect your love is for me every time I look into
your beautiful eyes. Your kiss, so sweet and soft it makes me know that it
reflects on how your love is for me. Your sweet side of romance and your
soft side of love make me want to love you more and more with each passing
day. Because I know in my heart that I am falling even more in love with you
with each passing day. So as I wait for the next passing day to come let me
kiss those sweet, soft lips and look into your eyes of love so that I can
rest until the sun comes up again so that I can see your eyes and feel your
lips again. Goodnight my love until tomorrow.

Mysterious Love
Love is the only thing that matters. It can
make your heart soar or even fall. It can be mysterious and hide from you,
because it is to shy to come out. It even can be very forward and run to
sweep you off your feet, to carry you to a place you never knew existed, but
always knew it was there. Today it found me. It ran up to me kissed me,
hugged me, and then it carried me up to our new palace to be together for
always and always. When I first meet you the world stopped for me, because I
wanted that moment to never end. There is nobody else but you and me, it is
as if you carried me to a far off place by the sea where only you and me can
wake-up to the sunrise and be in each others arms when the sunsets. Where we
can lie in the sand to see the beautiful waves of the sea moving from left
to right, right to left, as if saying “Hi” to their new friends, us. Having
the warmth of your embrace holding me close to you, having your kisses warm
my body, looking into your eyes and seeing the world ahead where you and I
are together forever and ever. Falling asleep in your arms on the warm
beautiful white sand of the beach. Having the waves of the ocean come to us
to tickle our toes trying to wake us up, but we can’t because of our deep
trance of each other. Not having to dream because all of my dreams have come
true with you. So goodnight my love until the next time I can feel those
sweet kisses of yours on my face.
Keep In Mind:
Love is very mysterious, but when it hides
you don’t have to hide from it. Instead embrace
it with all your heart.

You
How your eyes look like the beautiful blue
sky. It makes me want to sail away on a cloud so that I could get lost in
your eyes. Just looking into your eyes makes me remember the stars in the
night sky. How your smile makes me feel like laughing and smiling with you.
How your laugh sounds like the voice of an angel. How your remarks make me
put a grin on my face. I just want to hug you like I hug my teddy bear, but
this one is better because he will hug back. He would carry me if I were
injured, hold me when I am sad, and hug me when I am happy. My knight in
shining amour, would ride in, on a white horse and rescue me, his princess,
and ride away to a far away castle in the beautiful blue sky. Away from my
fears and into my happiness. Onward to the island of love and delight where
you would give me good spirits and full of life. From your love and life
that you have for me. Where we can sail on a boat on the crystal blue sea by
the dock of the island. Where we can see the sun set into the beautiful
ocean waves. Then go back to our house to sleep and do it all over again the
next day.

Follow your heart and your dreams.

The World Is A Book
The world is a book. Meaning that the world
is the information we need and those who don’t travel read only a page. That
they only see what is around them and don’t go any further then that page.
Before Christopher Columbus everyone thought the world was flat, so they
were on their one page, while Columbus wanted to read the whole book. You
can read the world in books, but then you can see the world and make your
own books. See the world from a different point of view, with a open mind, a
loving heart, and a strong embrace.

As The Day Passes
As the day passes as the wind blows, and as
the water falls. I will still love you. As the sun rises in the East and
sets in the West, I will still love you. As you hold me and comfort me I
will still love you. When we wake-up in each other’s arms on our tenth
anniversary, I will still love you. When we are old and gray remembering our
younger years I will still love you. And on my deathbed I will know that I
married the only person that I truly loved. I will know that I will always
love you forever and ever.

The One
When you first walked into the room I knew
you were the one. The one that I have been wishing for on every star that I
could see. The one that would sweep me off my feet. The one that would hold
me so close to the one that I love. The one that would wipe my tears away.
The one that I will love for the rest of my life. Now here you are, the one
standing right in front of me, holding my hand, holding me tight, and
kissing my lips. You are the one for me to love for the rest of my life.

night I would look out my window hoping and praying for a love like you and
only you. Now here I am looking out my window holding my pillow tight
waiting for you to come to me, tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have
you come tonight, to hold me close and love me forever. Goodnight.

Our
Perfect World
My idea of the perfect world is where you
and me can be together always. Never having to lose site of each other.
Being in each other’s arms. Your arms are the safest place I know. When you
hold me the world just seems to become even more beautiful than I could ever
image. I feel as if we are in a world of our own; a world where no one could
ever hurt us, where we would be together always. Never having to worry about
the world around us hurting us, because we have a protective shield of love
to fight off the hurt and pain. To hold us together by our hearts and souls.
A place where our spirits can run freely around us. To know that we can be
together forever, for always.

When you are deeply in love with somebody
the perfect world will create its self around

In High Spirits
We don’t know what the future will hold,
but as long as we’re in it together, the future will be wonderful. You lift
me up when I am down. There are so many places that I can’t reach, but I’m
glad that I did reach one thing, your heart. And you gave me your spirit to
protect me. Everywhere I go I can feel your spirit all around me holding me,
and I love every moment of it. When I go to sleep at night, I can feel you
laying down next to me holding me in your strong arms until the morning
light shines down onto my window. Sometimes when I am confused or worried
about a problem I can feel your arms around me, hugging me, comforting me
until I feel better. Your spirit helps me get though the day. And whenever I
look up at the night sky to see the moon’s glow and the twinkling stars
surround it, I can feel your loving arms surround my body like the stars
surround the moon. Feeling your touch makes me feel as if I could reach
those stars and sit on the moon to see the perfect view of the world below.
The world where my perfect love lives, you. So as I look up to the night sky
and feel your arms surround me. Let us sleep until the next time I see my
love again.

the next day I meet you. Right there you were in the corner of the room when
I walked in. I thought my heart would had stopped when I first saw you, but
then you are the one that made my heart start again. You made me breath and
live in the world of love that you created for me, for you, for the both of
us. For now that I have found you my world is now complete. You complete

The Maze
Love will find a way to your heart. That is
how you found your way to my heart. It is as if you were in a maze of my
love. Everybody else failed to find the prize. But you were different you
found your way though the maze straight to my heart. You didn’t waste any
time for all the time you needed was to let me know that you loved me and
would stay with me forever. You passed the music and the intelligence that
you found along the way. You passed the beauty and the charm, the ones that
always trapped the others to the prize. Then you passed the hardest of the
test, the love and the trust. Because the others would had just stayed, but
you wanted more. You wanted the greatest prize that I could offer anyone, my
heart and soul. So come and claim your prize. I will be waiting for you.

your heart. To be loved by everything that you do. The way you walk, talk,
smile, laugh, and even the way you cry. There isn’t anything about you that
doesn’t do something to me. I love you for the way that you love, care, and
even the way you are just there for me. I have let you into my house and
heart. Now here I am in your arms and there is where I would like to stay
forever and ever.

Who are you to know who I am? You don’t

time. And now I see you walking over to me. I feel so scared and confused, I
don’t know what to do. But then, when I look again I still see you walking
over to me. Why are you walking over to me? You don’t know what I have done.
Why would you what me? Why would you what someone that has seen so much fear
and has been through so much pain? I have felt pain that could last three
lifetimes, so why would you want me. Am I willing to take a chance on you?
Well if you are, be gentle with me. Now let me take a breath and take

Eyes Of Life
If you’ve only known what these eyes have
seen; you wouldn’t want to believe it. To see the fear, anger, and fright
that goes into these eyes and all through my body like a shoot of lighting,
but just like the thunder after seeing the lighting you can hear and feel
the thunder. I don’t like to feel this way, but I do. Why do I cry so much?
What is it that makes me so sad that it hurts all over my body. It hurts so
much that I can’t stand it. I wish I wasn’t like this. I wish my life was
full of happiness and bright colors of the rainbow. The colors of a rainbow
that would shine off of a waterfall. To see the beautiful colors of the
Earth that mix together in harmony. I need to see more things in my life
more then just pain and fear. I need help to see life differently. Please
help me see life differently.

Being lost is hard and finding your way is

life I am not alone and with you by my side I know I will find my way back,
because you fill in the gaps that I have in it. You complete me. You fill in
the craters in my heart. You make my heart glow with so much love that its
light could blind me. I don’t feel alone when I have you near me. When I
have you holding me tight, kissing me so sweetly, and having you asleep by
my side. Holding you like a teddy bear when I dream of sweet dreams at
night, but one dream I don’t have to dream about is you here with me. So
goodnight my love. Goodnight.

Love Was Born Today
Today is the day that my love was
born. So many years ago God sent his angel of love from up above, to us here
down below. It was on August 3, 1982 when heaven was missing an angel. I
have only known him for several months, and I have cherished every minute of
it. If it were not for him I would had never felt heaven on Earth. I can’t
remember a hug or even a kiss before I met him. All of my memories are of
him pushing me on a swing, taking a trip together, holding me when I was
sad, putting a smile on my face, the first time we kissed, and even the day
he asked me to be his. It was underneath the heart shaped moonlight
glistening onto the tiny lake near that special restaurant. I never wanted
that moment to end and it hasn’t for every time I look up at the moon and
stars I can still remember that night, still remember that embrace, and of
course I can still remember that kiss. How we walked to the hotel in
each other’s arms. How we kissed each other
goodnight. How I have had my love for you grow more and more everyday. Is
something that I don’t want to stop. When I am with you I feel like a
princess, for in a way I would like to believe that I am the princess of
your heart. And with you, my prince by my side I know that I am going to
love you in my own special way. For I know that I am completely in love with
you. I am in love with you for the simple reason that you are always there
for me when I really need you by my side, to hold me, to kiss me, and to
have the most desirable kisses that this world has ever known. So happy
birthday my love, for today to me means just one more day for me to show you
how special you are to me and to tell you that I am still in love with you.
Happy Birthday My Love!

Love You So Very Much!

The Moon
As
we take a night stroll through the neighborhood in each other’s arms. We
stop and look up at the stars and the moon. Then all of a sudden I get to
remember the night you asked me to be yours. It was underneath the moonlight
in Dallas at that Japanese restaurant. For as we were there in each other’s
arms I can see very clearly that my wish came true. When I was little I used
to look up at the moon and stars and make a wish. My wish was that all the
stars in the sky and the man on the moon would send me my true love. The one
love that was made for me and I was made for him. I never thought that my
wish was heard, so I kept on making it every night until it reached into the
heavens. Then one day I saw you, but I didn’t know that you were the one
because I thought that someone else was the one. But then you were there for
me to show me the way to your heart. You could see though my eyes and see
all the things that I couldn’t. You loved me more then any man had or ever
would. Then that night when you asked me to be your girlfriend, the moon was
shining down on us to tell me that you were the one made for me, you are the
one that I have been wishing
for. You are the man of my dreams, the man of my wishes, the man of my
heart. You and only you could ever love me the way that I deserve to be
loved, kiss me the way I deserve to be kissed, and hold me the way I deserve
to be held. I love you with all my heart and soul and so much more. The
moon’s glow reminds me of the way you make me glow every time I think about
you. Every time you touch my cheek, lips, heart. For now let us finish our
moonlight walk to say thank you to the stars and the man on the moon.

Wishes do come

I Don’t Know Why
I don’t know
why I’m thinking of this for sure. I don’t know why I’m thinking of you.
Thinking of you holding me tight. Holding me all through the night until the
sun comes up. Having us lay in front of a crackling fire underneath that
blue and gray blanket reading letters that we have wrote to each other.
Kissing each other whenever we read, “I love you” from the letters of our
love. Laying down close to each other feeling our hearts beating, hearing
our breathing with sighs. The sighs of weakness from love. That’s the way
you make me feel when I’m around you. I don’t know why I feel weak, but I
do. I guess it’s because of the way that our love for each other is so
strong that it just happens. But I know that I do feel safe in your arms.
Your arms of strength and the power of love around my body keeping me warm
and loved. Warmed from the bitter cold and loved by you, a way that no other
man could ever love me. The way no other could talk to me, hold me when I’m
sad, kiss me when I’m glad, and carry me when I’m weak. But then again I do
know why I’m thinking of you. It is because I am completely in love with
you. I love you with all my heart and soul. And it keeps on growing with
each passing day. Our love would grow with our children and our
grandchildren forever and ever, so that our love would be immortal. For I
believe in the power of love, it is in our hearts and souls. It is in our
hugs, kisses, and it
is also in the way that we look into each
other’s eyes. For when I look into your eyes all I see is true love. When
you hold me like this in front of this warm fire, I get to think that you
and me were like this before in another life. We were underneath the stars
in the woods by a warm fire on a cold autumn night. Being covered by a blue
cloak having our love to keep us warm. So as we drift off to sleep holding
on to each other, I will dream of you and only you. I love you. Goodnight.
Keep In Mind:
Your love for each other
can
warm your heart and soul.

The Butterfly Girl
I see a
little girl in the backyard playing dress-up, but she is not dressed like a
movie star or a mother, but as a butterfly. She has wings on her back and is
jumping up and down trying to fly. She knows that she can’t fly, but she
still tries. Why? Then there she is holding her arms apart as if talking to
the butterfly kingdom. She must be the queen then. There she is in her
beautiful flower dress, with her dark curly hair down to her sides. I wonder
what she’s saying to them. Is she saying peace to her people or just saying
“hi”? It is so beautiful to see such a sight, of a little girl being who she
wants to be in her life.
Keep In Mind:
Follow your dreams
whatever they might be.
Be different then other

The Woman By The Shore
I see a
woman by the shore upon a rock in a long simple green dress. Simply enjoying
the nice cool breeze. She is barefoot. Maybe she was putting her bare feet
in the water. Her hair is to the right side of her shoulder, as if she was
playing with her hair while she was thinking about something. Is she
thinking about tomorrow, or what happened today? Maybe she is waiting for
her love to come for her, to run away with her to a town far away from here
where they can be together always. But for now there she sits upon a rock
and looks out to the open sea. Until that one day she won’t be there
anymore.
Keep In Mind:
Sometimes you just have to
sit
down to think and enjoy the
many sights of life.

The Dreamer
I see a young lady walking
on the green grass in a beautiful light blue dress. Her curly hair falling
to her shoulders lightly blowing in the cool breeze. She has a smile of
wonder upon her face and her eyes filled with thoughts. Are they thoughts of
love, or thoughts of dreams? Maybe she’s dreaming of a love that she just
met yesterday. He was everything that she dreamed about. He was kind, sweet,
cute, and full of love for her. She looks like she is walking on a cloud in
heaven. Dancing with her love with perfect grace as they look into each
other’s eyes. I hope whatever happens that it is beautiful.
Keep In Mind:
It is alright to dream.
Dream whenever you can.

The Woman By The Pond
As I am
walking by a little town, I see a woman by a pond feeding the fish. She has
a look of calmness on her face as she lifts her hand over the pond as if to
say “hi” to them. She is wearing a long brown dress with a scarf on her
head. Does she do this everyday? I think she does. Maybe she does this for
the peacefulness in her life. Maybe she likes to pretend that the pond is a
ocean and that one-day she will sail away to another country to visit other
lands. How long has she been feeding the fish? Maybe since she was a little
girl in her mother’s arms. For now she will be there until one day she
won’t.

If you have dreams follow
them

The Twinkling Stars
Tonight when I look up at
the moon and see all the twinkling stars in the sky I get to think of you
and me in each other’s arms keeping each other warm from the bitter cold of
the night breeze. I can see the twinkle in your eyes whenever I look into
them. When I was little I always wanted to reach out and touch the stars in
the sky, but they were always too far away. But whenever I look into your
eyes I can see that some of those stars came down so that they can be within
my reach. I have always wished on stars to do different things that I didn’t
ever think were possible, but whenever I look into your eyes I can see all
of my dreams coming true. I can see me singing in front of an audience,
taking pictures in my own studio, and marrying the love of my life. You give
me the strength to making all of my dreams coming true because the first
wish I made was for the man on the moon to bring me you, my love. Thank you
for all of the things that you have done for me and for all of the things
that you haven’t. You can see my dreams in my eyes when I haven’t. You have
even told me that some of the dreams that I thought were out of my reach are
possible. You are the one that put those dreams in my hands, so that I can
hug and embrace them. I love you for who you are and everything that you
have done for me. Now I can wish in your eyes because they are brighter than
any star that I have ever seen in my life. So until the next time I see you
my wish maker, I love you.
Keep In Mind:
Sometimes you have to
believe in someone to
make your dreams come true.

To My Love
Romance
is something that I can feel whenever I am around you, my love.
I
don’t know why I have this feeling running though my body whenever you are
around.
To
me you are my one and only love, the one created for me, the one to spend my
lifetime with.
An
eternity would not be enough to show you all the love that I have inside of
me for you.
Affection
is what I get from you, from the way you hold my hand, from the way you hug
me, to the way you kiss me so gently with your sweet lips.
Now
I know that you were meant for me and I was meant for you.
During
the time that I have met you, you have showed me things that no other could
ever show me, because you showed me things with your heart and soul.
Real
and true love is what I feel in the touch of your hands to the touch of your
sweet and gentle kisses.
Obsessed
with your kindness, with the touch of your hand, with your undying love, and
with your gentle kisses.
Barely
able to think of anyone else except for you, to think of your beautiful
brown eyes along with your lovely smile.
Everything
about you has a special trait to the way you laugh, to the way you cry, to
the way you kneel down on one knee.
Roses
in your hand are sweet, but not as sweet as you are my love, my one true
love.
Together
you and me are unbreakable from any force out there, and that is the way it
shall be forever and ever.
Keep In Mind:
I love you Robert Leonel Tijerina!
Can you find the hidden message?

I Love You!
Rainbow
Walking in the
forest with you holding on to your gentle, strong hand. Walking down a
garden path covered with trees. Looking up at the big, blue, beautiful sky
with all the white puffy clouds in it. Sitting down beside a huge green tree
to have a picnic with you. Having you lay down on my stomach as I run my
fingers though your hair. Just there talking about the future, the forest
around us, and of our endless love. We can be there for hours and think that
it was just a few minutes. The day could pass us by and we wouldn’t mind
because we were there together in each other’s arms giving sweet kisses. We
could be there and the only sound that could be heard for miles around would
be the wind gently blowing. For we would just be looking into each other’s
eyes knowing that our thoughts were “I love you”. For some reason we are
both amazed by each other, by what we do to the way we feel. Then after a
little while it starts to rain. So then we get up to run and dance in the
cool shower that God has provided for us. Then you grab me, hold me close,
and kiss me. So then I put my hand upon your check and kiss you back. You
know I love to walk in the rain, so you say let’s take a stroll. As we were
walking, we look up at the sky and see a huge beautiful rainbow. We look at
each other and know that we are both thinking the same thing about finding
the end of it. Then the search is on, then after some time; right in the
center surrounded by trees we find the end of the rainbow. There are some
tales about a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But we didn’t find a pot
of gold, because the gold was with us all along. The gold was in our hearts
and the rainbow was just to show us how beautiful our love is. Also that
even with the passing of the years our hearts would still be glowing as
gold. So let’s end the day with a kiss until the next time we see a rainbow
like this.

Mother
Kind, gentle, warm hearted, that is what
you are. All of these things combined plus a few more, like funny,
hard-working, and loving make up you my mother. My mommy that I have known
for twenty years. The person who toke care of me when I was sick or sad. The
person who was there to but a smile on my face, a hug around my body, or
even medicine in my mouth. So I guess what I am trying to say is thank you
for being my mom; and also that I love you.
Love Always,
Rita

Christmas Time
Christmas Time is back here again and this is our first Christmas together.
Our first Christmas together in each others lovers embrace, as we stroll
down the way to see the many sights around us. As I look around the town all
I can see is bright colorful decorations, happy faces, and the sparkle in
your eyes that could be the star on top of my very Merry Christmas tree. For
your eyes are the reminder of the night we first came together when that
star shone down on us. The Christmas Season is the happiest time of the
year, but when I am with you it is Christmas time all year round. For you
are my gift from God; my angel of love from up above, every where we go
there is mistletoe; so that I can stop and kiss those sweet, tender lips,
and there is always our dance in each others arms; even though there is no
music playing there is always music playing in our minds for each other. The
sweet music of love that only plays for us and only us. Even the sweet,
loveable voice that comes from your heart and soul to sing to me. That
touches my soul and melts my heart. That wants me to stay in your arms
forever and ever, I won’t move away for my heart knows exactly where it
should be with you forever more. Having your warm arms surround me to shield
me from the harsh old winter winds, having your warm, sweet kisses around my
face; tells me that I am very much loved by you. As I am in so much in love
with you. That will only keep going day after day. I love so very much with
all my heart. So Merry Christmas my love and many more loving Christmas will
come.
Keep In Mind:
When I am with you
Christmas is year round
filled with love.

Destiny
There are many things that we can plan. We can plan our weekend and even our
schedule. But there is one thing that you can’t plan because it is already
planned out for us. It is our destiny. If it is meant to be, it will be. It
is amazing how two hearts are destined to be together even before you were
born, but you don’t know it, until it hits you like lighting through a
thunder storm pouring down on you and then you can run for shelter and then
our eyes meet. It shines through us, like a sunrise. I am amazed on how I
can see the future in your eyes. Your eyes that shine like the sun in the
beautiful, blue sky, that cry like the rain when we kiss and embrace each
other and I love, the love I have for you. Your hair which is smooth like
the smooth green grass at the park where we walk, talk, hold, and kiss in.
As we lay on the grass having you rest your head on my lap. Seeing your eyes
closed and I get to think, what are you thinking about my love? Are you
thinking about what the future might hold for us, or are you thinking about
your own heaven? Where you and me can laugh and play on the clouds from
sunrise to sunset. You can’t plan destiny. You just have to let it happen
and live each day to its fullest. And when your destiny comes; embrace it
and hold it forever. From now to the day for the heavens; when you and your
angel is in heaven. Let destiny lead in the right way of your love, give the
first kiss of true love, and embrace them until your dieing day will come.
So that you would die knowing that you found your one true love.
Keep In Mind:
Let destiny lead you in
the right way of your love.

When You Were Away
You
are the reason for the smile on my face. My smile that shines whenever you
are around. You always know how to put a smile on my face when ever I may be
sad. That is the reason why my heart belongs to you. My heart longs for you.
It longs for the time that I would be back in your arms again, and it
remembers that first day when it all started. The day when love appeared. I
didn’t know that it was you, to be my love, but I am glad that my heart and
destiny chose you. The feeling is so strong. So strong that it only gets
stronger everyday and passes by. In your arms I’ll stay. My only love. For I
know that is where I am warmed, kissed, hugged, and loved always. You have
been there though good times and bad. But you have always seen me though it.
You bring out the power in me. You’ve reached the deepest part of my heart.
For the reason that your heart and soul has touched me in so many ways that
nobody has ever touched before. My heart stands still whenever you are
around. That sometimes I feel that I can’t breathe but your love gives me
the strength again. I believe in the power of love whenever your presence is
around me. For that is one thing that I could never doubt as long as I have
this eternal love or you.
Keep In Mind:
For there is one thing to
believe in. The power of
love and in the power of
your love.

As The…
As the cold wind blows, as the trees
sway, as the birds still sing; my heat will still beat for you. As the
summers are still hot and the winters are still cold; I will still think of
you. As the butterflies still fly and as the frogs still jump; I will always
be by your side. As long as the kitties purr and as the puppies bark; I will
be in love with you. As long as my heart beats for you and as long as your
heart beats for me; I will always love you. And as long as I love you and as
long as you love me; I will marry you.
Keep In Mind:
No matter what I
will
always love you.

One Year
The moon had shined a
love on us one night, one year ago. We have seen the sun rise and the sun
set. We have seen the waves of the beach and played in the sand. We have had
our ups and downs. We have had our sweet kisses and tender hugs. We have had
all of this all of this and I have just come up with on conclusion; I want
more. I want to see more moons in the big, beautiful starry sky. I want to
see more suns and more waves and more sand. And I especially want more of
those sweet, passionate kisses and warm, tender hugs. That adoring face of
yours only makes me want you more. That loving touch of your hand makes me
understand why you love me with all of your heart. Because I feel and love
you the same way too. It has been one year and we have been though so much
together and I want this to never end. For us in time to continue to the
next steps in life and with each other by our sides we can and will see
though anything. For we now have the realization that we believe in each
other, that we have loved and even healed each other. Our words have
strengthened us and pulled us even more together. Our days of laughter and
our days of sorrow, but we still make it through. Your smiles and your puppy
face with your special effects. Even your singing voice is one that I would
and will keep in my heart forever. So now that I give you this poem let us
realize what has happened this year. The year where our love has
strengthened, where it has been playful and the year where we have loved
with our hearts and souls. I love you and let our love continue forevermore.
Keep In Mind:
I Love You Very
Much!

My Birthday Prince
Happy Birthday to the
prince of my heart, the lion of my soul, and the puppy of my happiness. My
prince that is always there to cheer me up through my bad times, and heal my
wounds through the touch of your hand and the power of your kiss. As your
years are passing and your knowledge is growing; you are still the same
person that I meet by the force of destiny. For the only reason for true
love’s first meeting is caused by destiny. The destiny of the heavens above.
For a star far greater than the stars of others is where you were born.
Created in the heaven of angels. Where your peace and happiness rain for all
to see. Where you my prince and I, your princess shall be for the entire
world to see, to see our embrace, our hugs, and kisses. Where all of our
days shall be bright for our love could form a crystal to shine for the
entire world to see. Our faces would be a picture in the heavens for even
all of the galaxies to see. And what they would see is a perfect eternal
love. So as you rest your royal head on your pillow tonight look out to the
heavens and you shall see me smiling back at you; saying ‘I love you’. Good
night my handsome prince until tomorrow when we shall meet again; until the
day will come that we should never part.

Searching
I have longed to find a soul mate; someone to hold,
someone to love, someone to spend a lifetime with. I have walked and
searched for the one for me. The one to light up my life, bring a smile to
my face, know my heart and soul. I see many people all around me, but they
are not the one for me. Where are you my love? Are you coming to me? Do you
know how much I love you, want to be with you, and need you? For now I will
wait until my search is over; until I find my one true love

Memory sky
Sky is dark, moon is full and so is my
heart. My heart is full because of all the
thoughts that I am having of you. Thoughts
of our first hug, our first kiss, and even
the time when I knew that I really loved
you. These thoughts put me at ease that is
the way that I fell when I am in your arms.
In your arms is the safest place that I
know. When I am in your arms a spell
overcomes my body that I surrender to.
That spell that you put on me was your love
for me. Before I had to be strong and
not fall, but when I meet you your eyes
filled with love I fell into your arms.
With you I am loved, safe and warm; and
that is where I want to be.
