Loving You

I enjoy sharing my life with you.

I enjoy the way we balance each other out, how we share the good times and support each other through the tears.

I enjoy the knowledge that we'll make it through whatever life brings with courage and love through the years.

I'm glad that we can be ourselves with each other, and that we can say the things we honestly fee.

I love the way we are together, the way we're making a wish come true, and our dreams real.

And more than I can ever say, I feel a wonderful thankfulness in my heart... just for you.

It's not easy for us

Whilst distance separates us.

As each day passes into the next

We must look forward to tomorrow,

Knowing that we are one day closer

To the dreams we hold.


It may be frustrating when we need a hug

Or want each other's presence.

If we feel alone we should close our eyes

And remember a moment in time

When we held each other...


Remember our smiles

And listen to our warm voices

And feel the love that surrounds us.


We must live each day together,

Even though distance keeps us apart.

It may seem unfair at times

If we feel neglected by the other...

We must take time out of our separate worlds

To open our hearts and minds.


Let's live each day side by side...

And feel comfortable with our love,

For then the loneliness we feel will leave us

And missing each other will help us

Gain confidence in our togetherness

And we will grow

Even though we are apart.

I know this is sort of a funny thing to say, but

I'll say it anyway...

I like liking you.

It makes me feel good to be alive in this world with you.

So much happiness comes from your gentle ways

And from our together days

Right from the very beginning I realised your importance to me...

I like the way your eyes smile at me,

The way we touch,

The way we laugh,

The way we are.

I like having dreams we both want to reach out for

I like knowing that we only get closer

As time goes by.

And I want you to know that in addition

To all the wonderful things I like,

It's also true that I love loving you.

It's all your fault, you know...

I've hardly accomplished anything today

Every time I being something,

You creep into my thoughts

Softly, slowly at first,

And before I know it,

My imagination is filled

With thoughts of you.

Warm thoughts,

Nice thoughts,

Such loving thoughts.

But this is getting out of hand,

And I have to get something done today.

So maybe I'll begin

By doing something very important.

I'll give this to you,

Just to let you know,

How much I want you,

How much I need you,

And how very much I love you.

Loving you...

Means days are brighter,

And every little care seems lighter

It means that dreams become reality.

Loving you...

Means daily living

Holds the sharing and the giving

That makes a home a happy place to be.

Loving you...

Means everything

A happy life could ever bring...

For loving you means all the world to me.

It's love that builds a happy home,

It's love that warms each day,

It's love that follows every dream,

It's love that shows the way.

The dreams we share will one day come true if we have faith in each other.

For faith can move mountains and miracles do happen to those who have the belief, the trust and faith in their special person.

And you, beyond any doubt, are very special to me, to my life and to my future.

You are the lynchpin of my world, and without you my life would be cold and so empty.

Be strong my love, as I will be for you, and we will travel the rocky roads of life ahead together, secure in the knowledge that our love can conquer all...

And I have faith in you.

"Special" is a word that is used to describe something one-of-a-kind, like a hug or a sunset,

Or a person who spreads love with a smile or kind gesture...

"Special" describes people who act from the heart and keep in mind the hearts of others...

"Special" applies to something that is admired and precious, and which can never be replaced...

"Special" is the word that best describes you.

This is what I'm really saying every time I say I love you...

I'm really trying to say so much more than just those three little words;

I'm trying to express so many wonderful feelings about you...

I'm trying to say that you mren more to me than anyone else in the world.

I'm trying to let you know that I adore you and that I cherish the time we spend together.

I'm trying to explain that I want you and that I need you and that I get lost in wonderful thoughts every time I think about you.

And each time I whisper "I love you" I'm trying to remind you that you're the nicest thing that has ever happened to me.

Once in a lifetime
You find someone
Who touches
Not only your heart,
But also your soul.

Once in a lifetime
You discover someone
Who stands beside you,
Not over you.

You find someone
Who loves you
For who you are,
And not for who you could be.

Once in a lifetime
If you're lucky
You find someone...
As I have found you.

You are so important to me that I can't even begin to explain the significance of having you in my life.

I think of you so many times during the course of the day; and the times when I can't be with you, I try and think of things I can share with you that I know will make you smile.

With you I am totally happy. You make my life feel so utterly complete. I can't ever imagine living my life without you being a part of it, because you are everything to me and I love you for it.

Alot of people know the surface side of me,
The side they see while I'm working, or just going through the day.

But there's another side of me ~ an inside that people never see.

It's a part that's full of a thousand thoughts,
A part that embraces love and cherishes friendship,
A part that understands without need for words,
A part that has yearnings and desires and prayers.

The inside of me has so many moods that the outside never shows,
For once in my life, though...
I trust someone implicitly
And I care about someone in a totally understanding way.

I feel like it's okay to let that someone in...
To let them see me emotionally and physically,
As naturally and as naked as I can be.
I have given myself to you and told you things that I've never told another soul.

You are the one person who has seen me trembling
And fearful as an injured bird.
You are the one person I always want to take with me
When I feel exhilarated and my spirits are soaring.

I trust you with my secrets, and you know now that you can trust me with yours.

This sharing... this special sharing is one of the richest dimensions my life has ever known.

Bid me to live, and I will live

Thy Protestant to be;

Or bid me love, and I will give

A loving heart to thee.



A heart as soft, a heart as kind,

A heart as sound and free

As in the whole world thou canst find,

That heart I'll give to thee.



Bid that heart stay, and it will stay

To honor thy decrees:

Or bid it languish quite away,

And't shall do so for thee.



Bid me to weep, and I will weep

While I have eyes to see:

And, having none, yet I will keep

A heart to weep for thee.



Bid me despair and I'll despair

Under that cypress-tree:

Or bid me die, and I will dare

E'en death to die for thee.



Thou art my life, my love, my heart,

The very eyes of me:

And hast command of every part

To live and die for thee.

I really miss you...

I have other friends whom I talk to but it's not the same.

You have such a deep understanding of who I am.

I hardly have to speak and you know just what I'm saying.

I really miss you and I want you to know

That no matter where I go, who I meet or what I do

I'll never find as deep a friendship with anyone as I have with you.

When you care about someone as much as I do about you,

Being apart is a hard thing to get used to.


I thought I'd handle it just fine...

And that I'd be happy just to keep you on my mind.

But it isn't always that easy.


Sometimes the one thing that would please me most...

Is simply seeing you.

I knew that I'd miss you.


I just didn't know I'd miss you as much as I do.

I used to think that love was only real in the movies
And that I enjoyed being alone.

I used to think that I was independent

That I didn't need anyone because I was so strong.

But after meeting you, I realise that my attitude toward love

Was merely a cover-up of my disappointment with relationships.

I put on a strong, non-caring front so no-one would know how I felt.

But after meeting you, I could no longer pretend

My feelings became transparent

And now I want to tell the world something I always knew,

But was afraid to admit.

That love is the most important feeling one can have

And I want to thank you for causing me to be honest with myself and others.

... I love you ...
