Fate of Your Heart

My Love…
My Dad thinks you’re not good enough for me. My Mother wants me to end up with a girl I have known since kindergarten. My Sister thinks I should end with her best friend. But my mind, heart and soul chose you.

Only Saw Beauty

My Love…
How well I remember the day we met! You had on blue jeans and an old t-shirt with grease all over your face from helping your Dad fix your car. My eyes saw only beauty then, but see it even more now.

Flame of the Heart

My Love…
Expressing the contents of my heart is difficult, but please don’t let that cause you to misunderstand. Notice closely when my hand touches you or I look into your eyes because it is then my love is most fully expressed.

Secreted Away

My Dear…
You don’t know it yet, but in your suitcase are hidden a bunch of little hearts. I cut them out for you to find while away. They’re in your backpack too. Every one was carefully secreted away to say “I love you” from a distance.

Be With Me Always…

My Love…
We breathe the same air and inhabit the same space. It has been you and me together for so long I can not remember life any other way, nor do I want to.

So Much Better

My Dear…
The love I give you is short payment for all you have giveN me. I am so thankful for you. Its been years now. Life is good. We’re stronger than ever. We’re not the same two people as when we started. We’re so much better now.

The Beginning

My Love…
Through our ups that never seemed to last long enough and our downs that always lasted too long, I have loved you in a unordinary way. There is nothing common about my feelings for you.

Every Breath I Take

My Love…
If you live to be a hundred, I want to be a hundred minus one day. Then I won’t have to live a day without you. The longer we are together the more you are the reason for every breath I take.

The Power of Angels

My Love…
I am still the person I was, yet much more. Through loving you the good within is made bigger and faults become smaller. The transformative ability of true love has the power of angels within.

What Is In My Heart

My Love…
My determination has always been strong; my will a formidable force. With aim and purpose I sculpted my life to match my desire. Then I discovered something more powerful: loving you. By what is in my heart I’m being made over.
