To: Mom and Dad

Even tho you may not be together anymore
I can see that you are still a united front in saving me and my life
I appreciate all you do and have done thru the years
I may have been childish and angry, but when things are rough
like they have been lately, I know that I can always count on you both.
Your unconditional love and help are amazing to me
I am humbled and shamed at the turn my adult life has taken- but your support is definately what gets me thru you and my beautiful children.
I love you both more than you could ever know and appreciate you so much!
Words are not enough, but it’s all I have.
Thank you Mom and Dad.

Without you both I would simply not BE.

Memories of you still are fresh in mind
Im sorry I was not by your side in your last moments.

My love,

How do I write the longings of my heart; the knowledge that courses through my very soul, my body, my heart/mind of my love for you?

Never has anyone captured my heart, my imagination, my passion the way you have. Never have I felt so close to another human being on so many levels as I do with you.

Never have I been as content, at ease in a relationship, as I am with ours.

I think perhaps that is the key word in the last sentence. This is OUR relationship. We share everything. We talk about everything together. The good, the bad, the mediocre – we don’t shy away, we don’t hide from each other. The time for the ‘newness’ of all of this is long past and we are still madly in love.

I marvel at this love. Saying/writing this seems so ‘trite’ so cliché, so ‘it’s all been said before’ and perhaps it has – but truly you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I’ve been on this planet for a while now…

Perhaps it’s just in the way that you and I are able to be ourselves around each other – we don’t pretend, we don’t put on a façade – it’s all so very real, so honest – as if you are the very breath within my body, so close to me, that you are almost of an involuntary nature. That’s not to say that I don’t want to be cognizant or that I am becoming complacent – it is a statement about how comfortable this has become and how surprising it is that I’ve been able to just let go with you – let my guard down. Be myself.

We have had ups and downs and things that (at least to me) are important in the sense of ‘how will we handle our future’? We have been through things that would have destroyed other romances but not ours.

You are still the one that I want to spend most of my time with, you are still a ‘turn-on’ for me, you still make me blush, you still challenge me & make me think, you are in every way I can sense and feel, my own personal ‘Ooh La La’.

I know deep down this is how it’s suppose to feel with love; this is how a healthy relationship works, in the same way that I know with everything that I am – that I want to spend the rest of my life with you as my love(r), my partner, my husband.

Always & forever yours,

Colleen

It’s been nearly a year since you blew into my life, changing and ripping everything up as I got to know you, throwing my entire world into chaos… and you are now my very best friend. Even though I’ve never seen you, never hugged or even touched you, you are the biggest part of my life and I don’t ever want to let you go.

You made me fall in love with words, thoughts and beauty again, just when I thought I would never do so again. You showed me what it’s like to trust someone, to have someone who loves me with all my flaws and troubles, to know someone I don’t ever get bored of talking to…

Life isn’t perfect for us, and it probably never will be, no matter how much we change or rock the boat, but I know at least I have you, and with that, know that I’m happy.

I love you. =)

It was valentine’s day. There was a guy I liked but i didn’t know how to confess..
I was always the shy lil one . He was just crazy about football. That day he showed up. But to my greatest sadness he was making a video on his favurite football team… so he wasn’t paying much attention. And i didn’t want to take the risk since he was a Lil busy. yet he kept on talking as usual… When he was leaving he said that he wanted me to see the video… and he left…

I want to share this video with every love-bird out there… and I wnat to say to my beloved…

” I love you and that is from the core of my heart”…

A dream I awoke to…

She looked at me…
Over the music and the crowd, She looked at me with beautiful eyes and screamed “I love You!”…
I pulled Her close and kissed Her, kissing me back, She pulled me closer…
At that moment I knew I’d love her more than She’d ever know… no matter what, I’d always love Her… then I awoke with a tear in my eye and broken heart…
I could see Her beautiful eyes, but there was no love…

can match the ones below…

In My Life

There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed,
Some forever, not for better,
Some have gone and some remain.

All these places had their moments,
With lovers and friends I still can recall,
Some are dead and some are living,
In my life I’ve loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There was no one compared with you,
And these mem’ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new.

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more.

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I loved you more.

hey bee,
you will always have mi love. always.
i have a lot of thanking to do, yet i know not where to begin,
maybe i should start by thanking you for making ‘us’ possible,
for it was you whom made most of the effort,

you gave me the best times of my life…the best ever..
i’ve not known what it feels to be touched or to touch that special someone until i met you,
that time when i thought i kissed you in the lips.. when i actually only got your cheeks :p
that time you called me over to 209. the shisha. the sundae.
the times away from you had made me realise how much i really needed you,
but it was that same times that made you realise of what a jerk i’ve been
how i wish i had showered you with more love…sigh..
i wish you all the best in whatever you do wish you’d be happy with whomever you are with now

you will always have mi love. always

You are an angel sent to me from heaven, Bee.
I met you and I felt alive again. I’m even more passionate about life. Now I’m not just going with the flow and plans I made before, but realizing I can make new plans, change my plans and still have the same outcome I wanted to begin with. I’ve learned to be more patient about changes and that there are steps that need to be taken before they take place.

With you I experienced the deepest, strongest, most amazing feelings (both love and lust related). I gave myself away in a way I never imagined possible without regreting a single moment.

Because of you I have searched better things for me in life. Even better than I was used to before.

After I met you I was able to have a new perspective in life.

I really recognize how much I am worth now. When you treated me so perfectly I felt like the best person alive. When you didn’t treat me so well, that’s when I realized I liked and deserved to be treated perfectly, no less.

I am sorry I couldn’t tell you this before. I had to shut you off to let you go.

I just couldn’t allow you to hurt me again. I want to keep these nice feelings with me. I want to love you forever. And now I feel I can.

I can still say I’m not afraid of dying anymore, because it’s hard to wish for something bigger or better than what I have lived with you and after I met you.

Thank you for everything sweetheart.
I will always love you,

Jay.
