| **I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance and a church filled with flowers and friends. I asked him what kind of wedding he wished for, he said one that would make me his wife. **You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight long after they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spine. When they are the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning and say, "I love you" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When they are hurt just because of these tears. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them, and can't figure, how you did before you knew them. When they fulfull every need and without them you are incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and soul, and mind all at once. **The time I spent with you, yeah, maybe it was short but I will never forget it. Ever. **We came together underneath the stars above, what started out as liking soon turned into love. i sensed a certain something, that in my heart was true, I knew I waited all my life to fall in love with you. **Love is sitting together in the middle of the bench when there is plenty of room on either side. **When they ask what I liked most about life, I'll say you. **It's weird how if one little detail had been different...I may not have you right now...and that just scares me. It's like a near death experience. **To love someone is a very special thing, but for that someone to love you back is more of a miracle. If you happen to stumble upon such a miracle, make sure you realize it. Never take it for granted, never throw it away, never let it sit, and most of all, never let it die! **I fall in love with you just thinking about you, remembering all the memories we've made...falling in love for the first time, staying in love during the rough times, finding more to love about each other every day. And whenever I think about all the wonderful things that lie ahead of us, I fall totally and completely in love with you all over again. **When all is said and done, you are a part of me. That's the way it was meant to be. People are brought together for a reason, everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason that you and me were brought together was because we complete one another. We fill in each other's missing spaces, the empty holes, the blind spots with love. And if someday God decides to tear us apart, I trust that there is a reason. Cause if there is a reason for love, there is a reason for life beyond it. **I love you. And not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you call it. And it's not because you're unattainable. I love you. Very simply, very truly. You're the epitome of every attribute and quality I've ever looked for in another person. I know you think of me as just a friend and that crossing the line is the furthest thing from an option you'd ever consider. But I had to say it. I can't take it anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. I just had to say it, because I've never felt this before and I like who I am because of it. And if bringing it to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But I couldn't allow another day to go by without getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot down. And I'll accept that. But I know some part of you is hesitating for a moment and if there is a moment of hesitation, that means you feel something too. All that I ask is that you not dismiss that-at least for ten seconds-and try to dwell on it. There isn't another soul on this planet who's ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next level. Because it's there between you and me. You can't deny that. And even if we never speak again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me. **If he says he loves you and your heart doesn't skip a beat then don't say it back, because you don't. **Our path is a little clearer, our steps are a little lighter, and we appear a little taller when we walk beside someone we love... **Why is it that I tell you just about everything that I feel but not everything, and yet you still know that all of that isn't everything that's bothering me. **I'm not proud of you. I'm proud to be with you. **One word frees us from all the weight and pain of life, and that word is love. **And isn't it funny that no matter what happens, in the end we always end up running back to each other. **So maybe it all happened for a reason, you going with her, me going with him, and in the end you and I going back to each other. **It's funny how you can still get butterflies in your stomach even though you've known this person for years. |
