MY LOVELY FRIEND --- MY LOVE FOR YOU IS ..............

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade more, one ray less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Cause they smile,
Cause they understand just by looking in your eyes,
Cause they know you better than you know yourself,
Cause with them you aren't afraid to be yourself,
Cause you can say something stupid or expose your deepest secrets to them,
Cause everything you do together becomes a memory,
Cause you don't need to do something special to have fun just happens,
Cause you don't need to explain anything they just know,
Cause they believe in your dreams no matter how silly they may seem,
Cause they dry your tears,
Cause you are good enough when you are with them,
Cause they love you for who you are.

The love I feel for you is overwhelming, yet I'd be lost without it.

Never imagining when I first saw your smile, that I'd be completed by you.

The love I feel for you knows no bounds, has no limits or conditions.

You are my heart, my life, my soul.

The intensity of my love frightens me, each day I fall deeper.

I'll continually swim in this swirl of emotion, for the rest of our days.

With each day that passes, I realize-

I could never be alone after loving you.

My love for you is strong, deep, the most intense feeling imaginable-

The gift I give to you, besides myself- is all my heart.

I pray I have yours in return, without it, I am lost.

It began as all fires do,
a spark soon ignited into a blaze of warmth and colourful delight.
You held my hand, became my friend,
earned my trust and my future once again looked bright.

Loneliness turned to hope,
emptiness filled up with dreams.
Hunger was satisfied,
and the darkness lit by love's moonbeams.

Tears no longer hit the ground,
they fall on your loving shoulder.
I feel younger,
as our love grows older.

When sorrow leaves me wilted as a sun-parched rose,
your comfort is a river that flows and flows.
The sun's light, the morning dew,
they are all the beauty that is you.

When passion ebbs,
as tides do,
love fills the wake,
and carries us through.

Your strength is as the oak,
but if it is my need you bend like the willow.
My heart is filled,
like a lucky sail with wind to billow.

Harsh cold winters,
wet springs, blissful summer heat, and the fall of time,
They'll weather my spirit,
with grace and peace, your hand in mine.

Our love's sweet creations, joyous children,
blessed am I thanks to God and you.
What greater beauty could shed light,
on the love that came from two.

Love's sweet reflection,
laughing, growing, thriving, learning.
Words cannot express what my heart feels,
how strong my love is burning.

When God took one home,
I felt my heart would never again see the sun.
But you, my love, walked with me, through the sadness,
and together we share the memories that keep our family one.

The lines of age will etch their mark on us
and time will take the strength from our bodies.
But love's brush will paint for us a picture of such beauty,
That a hundred lifetimes could not remove their glory.
