'LIKE LIFE ITSELF'

It is impossible to capture the feelings I have for you.

They are the strongest feelings that
I have ever had about anything yet when
I try to tell you them or try to write them
to you the words do not even begin
to touch the depths of my feelings.

And though I cannot explain the essence of
these feelings, I can tell you what
I feel like when I am with you.

When I am with you it is as if
I were a bird flying freely in the clear blue sky.
When I am with you it is as if
I were a flower opening up my petals of life

When I am with you it is as if I were the
waves of the ocean crashing strongly against the shore
When I am with you it is as if I were the rainbow
after the storm proudly showing my colors

When I am with you it is as if
everything that is beautiful surrounds us.

This is just a very small part of how wonderful I feel when I am with you.

Maybe the word "love" is invented to explain
the deep, all-encompassing feelings I have for you
but somehow it is not strong enough

But since it is the best word that there is
let me tell you a thousand times
I love you more than
"Life itself"



'YOU'LL NEVER KNOW'

You'll never know
how much
your smile lights up the room
or your laughter fills my soul,
making all the little problems of the day disappear.

You'll never know
how much it means to me
when you do or say something
thoughtful and totally unexpected —
usually just at the moment I need it most.

You'll never know
how much pride I hold in my heart
for the person you are and the things you do —
for your strength and your gentleness,
your courage and your determination,
your accomplishments and your dreams.

You'll never know
how much I need you by my side —
in the best of times and the worst of times
and all the times in between.
It really doesn't matter where we are
or what we're doing,
as long as we're together to share it all.
I love you with all my heart and soul.



'HOW IMPORTANT'

I know you probably wonder
from time to time
what you mean to me,
So I'd like to share this thought
with you, to tell you that
you mean the world to me...

Do you know how important
you are to me?

Think of something you can't live without
...and multiply it by a hundred.

Think of what happiness means to you
...and add it to the feeling you get
on the best days you've ever had.

Add up all you best feelings
and take away all the rest...
and what you're left with is exactly
how I feel about you.

You matter more to me than you can
imagine and much more than I'll ever
be able to explain.



'NOT ONLY.. BUT ALSO BECAUSE'

I love you not only because of your sweet loving caress
I love you not only because of your warm gentle touch
I love you not only because with you I feel so blessed
but also because of your smile that I love so much

I love you not only because you are thoughtful
I love you not only because you care
I love you not only because you are wonderful
but also because of the love we share

I love you not only because of the words you say
I love you not only because of the things you do
I love you not only because of what you make me feel everyday
but also because you love me too

I love you not only because you hold my love in your heart
I love you not only because you made my dreams come true
I love you not only because you promised we never will part
but also because with me you are you



'I LOVE YOU'

I thought I would never find the right person to love until I met you.
And since I have always thought that love is the most important part of my life.

I want our love to last and to be as beautiful as it is now.
I want our love to be the backbone of our lives forever.

Our love came naturally but I know that we must both work at making it last,
so I will try my hardest at all times to be fair and honest with you.

I will strive for my own goals and help you achieve yours,
I will always try to understand you. I will always let you know what I am thinking.

I will always support you , I will try to successfully blend our lives together
with enough freedom to grow as individuals.

I will always consider each day with you special regardless of what events occur in our lives,
I will make sure that our relationship flourishes as I will always love and respect you.

I love you
