Deep and Unshakeable

My Darling…
At first it was a small love. As the years have passed it has grown larger and larger as we made it through every challenge thrown at us. This love for you has grown to be deep and unshakable.

when you’ve
suffered
together,
cried together,
laughed together.

I Am Yours

My Darling…
Loving you has changed me forever. Life will never be the same again. Through the ups and downs; the chills and spills; the good days and bad days; and everything living can throw at us I am yours.

Deeply Into My Heart

My Love…
I’ve told you my dreams and my worst mistakes. My hopes are safe with you and you accept me in spite of my old wrongs from long ago. I have never dared to let someone see so deeply into my heart.

Always Will

My Love…
We have been through hell in many guises. There have been times I wondered if we’d make it, but we did. Though all that has come at us our love has always prevailed and I believe it always will.

‘One’ Made of ‘Two’

My Darling…
The tenderness and understanding of our love is rare. We’ve never had a serious fight! Disagreements, yes, but never have we lost control and emotionally damaged one other. It’s impossible now to separate this ‘one” made of ‘two’.

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.

My Dear…

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.

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.
