.... love....

                             They say that Love is Blind....

They say that Love Conquers all...

They say that Absence makes the Heart grow Fonder...

And They say that Time Heals all...

But They dont Know us....

I say that love,

True Love,

Is being able to look at the one you Love....

With your eyes wide Open...

Seeing all the Strengths....

Seeing all the Weaknesses...

Seeing all the Good...

Seeing all the Bad...

And still Loving what you See....

I say that love,

Though a Powerful and Dominating emotion...

Does not Conquer....

It Empowers...

When you are Loved...

And when you Love others...

You know the Strength needed to Love...

And with that Strength You can Conquer all...

 

I say that it is the Presence,

Not the Absence ,

That makes the Heart grow Fonder...

It is the Presence of Love...

Love is an emotion that knows no bounds...

It grows each and every Moment...

It is nourished by each and every Thought...

It feeds on every Action...

And it Never stops...

I say Wounds...

Are healed with Desire...

They cannot be healed by Mans Measurement...

You must have...

The Desire to learn...

The Desire to grow...

The Desire to understand...

The Desire to forgive...

And the Desire to love again...

And who are They?

Strangers on the Street...

Doctors in an Clinic...

Lawyers in an Office...

Teachers in a School...?

The Truth is...

They are just like Us...

They way we used to be...

Still searching for who They are inside...

Scared when they see Weakness...

Surprised when they see Strength...

Quick to Judge...

As to avoid being Judged...

And still unsure about how to Love...

All of my Searching

All of my Choices...

Led me to the path of Love...

To my one True Love...

With this Love...

I am no longer Blind...

I will Conquer all...

I have the Power to Heal...

And I know my own Strength...

 

... firsts....

I'll never forget our first...

our first Hello...

our first Glance...

our first Touch....

our first Date

our first Holiday...

our first Night...

But...

the first that means the most...

 is our last...

our first Kiss...

the Last first Kiss.

... a strong man ....

A strong man turns me on...A man strong in spirit that is... One who is strong enough to love me for me... with my strengths... and my weaknesses...A man who can look in the mirror and acknowledge his own strengths and weaknesses... One who is strong enough to love me as a woman... not as the mother, sister, or child that I am to others... A man that knows true love is not about control or possession... but about complimenting one another's lives... physically, emotionally, and spiritually... A man who provides me with support... and is not too proud to accept support from me... One who knows that with life... there are challenges, losses, and victories... but never is there failure... because every part of life has a value and lesson to be learned... And when hard times are upon us... I look into your eyes and see... that man... The man who is strong for me...

.... the rain.....

Throughout life we encounter bits of Rain...  Some are Sprinkles...  Some are Thunderstorms and floods... Regardless of the type of Rain we receive... One thing stands constant... The Sun always shines when it's over... Thank you for being a warmer, more brilliant Sun after every storm... Te amo...

.... It'z the Simple ThangZ....

I WANT A MAN....
WHO WOULD MOVE THE HAIR FROM MY EYES AND THEN KISS ME.
HOLD MY HAND IN LINE AT THE MALL AND MAKE ALL THE GIRLS JEALOUS.
SOMEONE WHO WOULD SING TO ME AT RANDOM MOMENTS.
WHO WOULD LET ME SLEEP ON THEIR CHEST.
A MAN WHO WOULD GET MAD AT SOMEONE IF THEY CALLED ME UGLY OR WAS MEAN TO ME.
I WANT SOMEONE WHO WOULD CALL ME 3 TIMES A DAY IF HE WENT AWAY.
SOMEONE WHO WOULD LET ME GOSSIP TO HIM AND WOULD JUST SMILE AND AGREE WITH EVERYTHING I SAID.
HE WOULD THROW STUFFED ANIMALS AT ME WHEN I ACTED DUMB AND THEN KISS ME A MILLION TIMES.
SOMEONE WHO WOULD MAKE FUN OF ME JUST TO MAKE ME LAUGH.
HE WOULD TAKE ME TO THE PARK AND PUT HIS HANDS AROUND HIMY WAIST AND GIVE ME BEAR HUGS ALL THE TIME.
HE WOULD TELL ALL HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT ME AND SMILE WHEN HE DID IT
HE WOULD NEVER BE AFRAID TO SAY 'I LOVE YOU' IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS
AND WE'D ARGUE ABOUT SILLY THINGS THEN MAKE UP
I WANT A MAN THAT WOULD KISS ME AT MIDNIGHT ON NEW YEARS AND COUNT STARS WITH ME.
WOULD STAY HOME WITH ME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT JUST TO HELP ME MAKE DINNER AND WATCH MOVIES TOGETHER UNDER THE SAME BLANKET.
SOMEONE WHO WOULD TELL ME I'M BEAUTIFUL... BUT NOT TOO OFTEN.
WHO WOULD MAKE ME LAUGH LIKE NO ONE ELSE COULD.
BUT, MOSTLY, I WANT SOMEONE WHO WOULD BE MY BEST FRIEND AND NEVER BREAK MY HEART.(it's funny... all of these things seem so simple.... and in some ways adolescent... but, it's these basic needs that make love timeless.... )
