You are everything I never knew I always wanted.

I wish upon a star. Wondering where you are. Are you out there thinking about me? Are you wishing we’d be together too? Because I wanna be with you baby boo. I wanna see what we could do togther.
I want you and me forever. You could be my night and day. So that in my heart you’ll always stay. I wish upon a star. Hoping you’re not too far. Because I’ll put you in my heart. And then we’ll ever be apart.

Love is you looking at me….and wanting nobody else.

I’ll sail across the ocean, bring you the sun, with you I see forever, you are the one. Girl you’re everything I need and more. You are my everything, my everything for sure.

Perfect love is not finding the perfect person to love. It is loving an imperfect person perfectly.

Shall I contrast our love with nature’s storms. Love is more divine and more glorious. Storms can come and go in different forms. Which makes the earth seem more notorious. See we are not like that one bit. I know a storm cannot break us in two because we are the total opposite. I love what we have between me and you. The fire that burns in us glows when lit. With that warmth I love, I can’ help but grin. And that special feeling when we talk and sit. Don’t you sense how warm you become within. I know storms could never keep us apart. Because I love you with my entire heart.

You do something to me, that I can’t explain. So would I be out of line, if I said I miss you? I know I’ll see you again, whether far or soon. But I need you to know that I care, and miss you.

I may not see you tomorrow, but I’ll be thinking of you. I’m always thinking of you. My love, my soulmate, my life.

Stand before my eyes, and let thy glance touch my songs into a flame . Stand in my lonely evening where my heart watches alone; fill her cup of solitude, and let me feel in me the infinity
of thy Love !

This thing and you shall never part, For the gift I give you, is all of my heart.

When travelling the path of life, and finding love along the way, Everything looks new and different. Little do you know it is the same old landscape you used to see all of the time; Love has just given you new eyes.

For hearing my thoughts, understanding my dreams and being my best friend... For filling my life with joy and loving me without end... I do.

Although the sky may be full of stars, My heart is empty without you.

My love Is the biggest thing in the world But still small enough for you to put in your pocket, Be careful what you do with it, The worst thing you could do is drop it.

You have my heart, And that's a permanent lock.

I want to be your wife, your lover And your best friend always and forever.

Fear? What is there to fear in love? Love is the very reason we live. To fear love is to lose all sense of living, And if we cannot love, then why have we been put here? Fearing love is like being afraid of breathing. It's not something to be scared of. It's something so natural that no one can resist.

And you learn that love, true love, Always has joys and sorrow, Seems ever present, Yet is never quite the same, Becoming more than love and less than love, So difficult to define. And you learn that through it all, You really can endure, That you really are strong, That you do have value.

Real love hurts; Real love makes you totally vulnerable and open; Real love will take you far beyond yourself; Therefore real love will devastate you. If love does not shatter you, You do not know love.

They say kissing is the language of love. Care to indulge in a little conversation?

I can't say anymore than I love you Anything else would be a waste of breath.

I wrote your name in the sand and the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay.

When your life falls apart, always remember that I will be the one who will stay to help you pick the pieces up. And when the rest of the world walks out on you, remember not to close the door, because I am the one who will be walking in to help you through it all.

Thy love is like a sweet, gentle breeze caressing the very essence of my soul.

I still miss my Ex, But my aim is getting better.

I tried to be patient, but it took too long

I’m not a coward I’ve just never been tested

The night I met you my dream came true. When I'm not with you my day is blue. That day you said we should part, made that deep pain in my heart. Friends say I should leave you alone but that really makes me want you to come home. So please try not to hurt me, and if your going to leave me.
