TO LEIDEE

The first time I laid eyes on you
A seed was sown within me.
Since then it has grown,
Its creeping tendrils ensnaring my heart,
Filling my head with thoughts of you.
Now a fiery blossom is blooming,
Radiating passion, stirring up longing.
Each day with you,
These feelings grow stronger.
Standing near you I am enchanted
For I am in the presence of an angel.
No longer can these feelings be held in.
From my chest they burst outward
In this confusion only one thing is certain.
LEIDEE,
I love you.

MY ANGEL

I once saw a girl with perfect chinita eyes, It wasn't just the size but the
color of her soul reflected so hard that my heart almost stopped beating, I
wanted a second meeting. I stopped eating for days cause the unforgettable
face always was on my mind, I wonder why my heart was so kind...Her body was
like watching a million stars crashing, my mind was just seconds from collapsing.
I cant breath, I cant think, I cant see... but still I wonder how it
would be.

Words are becoming small and I finding myself hitting the wall.
She smells like a endless smell of roses that none of this earth has smelled
before, that I adore.
I suddenly thought is this real, or is it just a silly dream...it all seem so
clear but why isent she here, I start to fear...is the end near. will I
wake up and see life as it is. I'll never forget her wherever she goes,
whatever she does. Cause she is worth dying for, or living without...its no
doubt, I have found my angel on earth.

i love you leidee...

3 times a day^^

There was a time in my life I became afraid to love. Because all those times I fell in love, I got hurt. I thought maybe that's why it's called "falling" in love.

I would give my all, loving deeply and wholeheartedly. It would be a truly emotional, extremely euphoric experience. I would dream about the object of my affection all day and all night, imagining good times together, thinking of what I can do or give him to show how much I cared. I would feel light as a feather, energized and excited, literally blooming with the joy I felt inside. Then somehow something would go wrong and my whole world would crash. Disappointment. Resentment. Anger. Pain.

Why? Can we not love without pain? Is disappointment really a price to pay for all the happiness we feel when we're in love? Should we blindly accept that because we love we get hurt?

It was only after many years of soul-searching and internalizing inspirational writings that I discovered that I can love without getting hurt. I finally understood that unconditional love was the answer.

Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It is the fire that burns inside, the essence of being. Love is the source of all our comfort and contentment. It is a precious gift that defines our purpose in life. If we keep in mind that we can indeed preserve its true meaning, we can love to the fullest and be happy the rest of our lives.

Accept that people express love in different ways.

How do YOU express your love? You say "I love you" three times a day, you kiss and embrace him every chance you get, you never forget your anniversaries, and you always prepare his favorite dishes. How does HE express his love? He rarely says "I love you", he seldom kisses you, he forgets your birthday, and he doesn't even try to cook. But he works overtime, walks the dog, helps you with the laundry, takes you to the movies, and calls you "Honey". He probably loves you as much as you love him, he just shows it differently. If you can accept that difference then you can have a healthier perspective of your relationship.

Derive happiness from giving love.

When you love, do it because you want to. There is indescribable joy in loving. Just give it. And cherish the satisfaction in having given someone something of yourself. It's like giving a gift. Whether it is appreciated or not, find joy in simply giving.

Love without expecting anything in return.

Now this is where pain comes in: when you demand something in return for the love you give. You are actually setting yourself up for disappointment because love cannot always be reciprocal. Love between two people can never be of the same intensity at the same time and place. No matter how much your partner loves you, she will never be able to fill all your needs all the time. And you are worst off if you believe you should love only when you are sure to receive equal love in return. Sad to say, you will be waiting in misery forever.

Love now.

The past is gone and the future is just a dream. All of yesterday's aches and pains, even the joys and laughter, are mere memories. Let them go. And your fantasies and worries? They may never come. So why dwell on them? Live now. Give love now. Do it now and enjoy the moment. That is the secret of inner contentment.

Throw away those destructive habits.

When you insist upon yourself that you always have to be in control, that you always have to be right, that others must always please you, you mold unreasonable expectations of yourself and the ones you love. Loving relationships are flexible, dynamic, and evolving. Give room for change and interaction. Allow for new behavior and learning experiences. When we welcome these into our lives, we open ourselves up to love and affection rather than anger and frustration.

Yes, you will say that unconditional love is easier said than done. Especially when we have always believed that love is give and take. Try believing that love is simply giving. They say "Give until it hurts". Let's say "Love until it hurts no more".

Dearest Leidee,

Hey Beautiful, I just wanted to do something simple to say I love you and to put that smile I love so much back on your face. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me. Ever since you have entered my life, I've been flying on Cloud 9 and I have not come down yet.

I tell you this everyday, but you are the most beautiful person I know, inside and out and I see that more clearly with each passing day. I love everything about you, about us. You do something to me that no other has, you have made me so happy, the happiest I've ever been. You give me the most amazing feelings inside, the feeling of being in love with you.

I still don't know what I did to be so lucky to have you in my life, my dream come true... I am so thankful though. In this short time that we've been together, we have grown so much and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. I love you, Leidee, with all my heart and soul, always and forever!

always
arbel..

Once Upon A Time..

Once upon a time, there lived a young fair princess and her charming prince. The charming prince longed to win the affections of the princess, but she hid in her heart her growing affection for him.

One day the faire princess and the charming prince were riding upon the prince's trusty white stead, a brand new 1994 Geo Prizm with... a cracked windshield. The faire princess rode next to her prince. She sat only close enough so that the charming prince could reach with his right hand and rub her knee. He did this to demonstrate his affection for the princess and to remind himself that she was truly with him and it was not just a wonderful dream. As the charming prince's trusty stead crested a hill, the faire princess pointed out the nice sunset to her prince. The charming prince was directing his trusty stead with his left hand, rubbing the princess's knee with his right hand, attempting to watch the course of his trusty stead and glance up at his princess when he had a chance. He was a bit distracted. Distracted though he was, the prince commented that the sunset was indeed pretty and nice. Upon returning to the castle, the faire princess gracefully strode to a nearby window. Once again, the princess admired the colorful sunset. The princess called to her prince to fix his gaze upon the setting sun. The faire princess secretly wanted to be close to her prince and be held in his arms. She hoped that he would come and snuggle close to her, so that they could enjoy the setting sun together. The charming prince came to the window and saw the beauty of the sunset, but was even more transfixed by the beauty of the faire princess. The prince longed in his heart to be close to the faire princess, so he snuggled up to her from behind, his arms around her waist, his head upon her shoulder. As the prince snuggled close to her, the princess placed her hands upon his and they admired the colorful sunset together.

As the weeks went on, the charming prince wooed the faire princess with flowers and chocolates, warm hugs and tender kisses on the cheek. Her love for the prince grew and she could keep it secret no more. One day, the faire princess proclaimed her growing love for the charming prince. The prince knew well of the princess's growing love, but was very pleased that she could no longer keep it hidden in her heart. The charming prince and the princess soon after, shared their first kiss. It was a tender kiss, a loving kiss. The kiss was full of the passion and desire that the charming prince and faire princess had in their hearts for one another.

As the days, weeks and months went on, the love that the faire princess and the charming prince had for one another continued to grow. They shared their secrets. They shared their dreams. They even shared their hope for a lifetime of love together. With love the charming prince held in his heart for the faire princess and the love the faire princess held in her heart for the charming prince, they did have a wonderful life full of love together. And they lived happily ever after...
