First,
marriage should be love
all encompassing, total, and free.
Love that grows stronger each days of murmurs of Thee, Thee, Thee.
Second,
marriage should be sacrifice
giving of self, regardless of reward.
Gift gladly given, with open heartshielded from life's harsh sword.
Third,
marriage should be commitment
utter loyalty, deep to the bone.
Absolutely, no questions asked
faithfully promised, never alone.
Lastly,
marriage should be forever
family bonded, yet all still free.
Lives joined with love, sacrifice, and commitment
an eternity promised with -
Thee, Thee, Thee

What can be said about loss
In love -
Those gaping wounds bleeding from aching spirits.
Rich libraries of memories calling from those
Cob- webbed shelves of the mind, of empty
Arms, and absent laughter, loving ways,
Sparkling eyes no longer there.
Of beakfast tables, lonely beds
And favorite things
Gathering
Dust.

What can be said about love
When loss
Rips the tapestry of a spirit apart, leaving thread bare
A soul unraveling.
When child,
friend, parent, or
Lover carries away with them irretrievably,
A central, vital piece of living.
When nothing is ever the same again.
When healing takes so very long,
leaving such
Hideous
Scars.

It sounds so fun, driving around in the sun.
She was so innocent, young, and sweet.
She had the world right at her feet.
Who would have known that she would die,
leaving everyone she touched to grieve and to cry?
Into the car she got so fast,
She didn't know that today was her last.
It all came up to fast for sight,
But she didn't give up without a fight.
Her funeral was the saddest day of my entire life.
Reality cut through me like a knife.
In another place in another time,
Her life no longer a part of mine.

In This Relationship,
I can tell you, Nothing will be perfect,
We will argue,
We will create distance,
We will have cold wars,
We wont forever agree,
We will be jealous,
We will face hardships.

But I can promise you,
I'll be trying,
I'll fix what went wrong,
I'll run the distance to you,
I'll put away difference,
I'll compromise to agree,
I'll believe and be better,
I'll walk through all weather with you.

Every argument will be a stepping stone to us,
improving us.
Every fight will make us stronger.
For till the day we meet,
in black and white,
to exchange our vows,
I'll take a step at a time,
hand in hand,
come what may,
we'll walk through it all.

love can bring you up, make you and create you,
into something unimaginable.
something so great, you've never thought of.
yet sadly, its the same thing that could bring you down,
destroy and ruin you.
i cant quite really pick my opinion of 'love',
its done both to me.
all these events, i just cant forget...
trust and i sought, in you,
was something i needed, something new,
for a different view of love..
so close, no matter how far,
yet i couldnt hold on, trusting..
letting go of everything, is where i am,
i want you, the better side of love,
but what will i receive?

Here i am, thinking, pondering, carefully chosing my words,


words that will build you, help you, touch you, all for the right reasons.


i cant seem to pick the right phrases, it all seems too cliche.


to put it simply, i wanna show you, with my own words,


how much you mean to me, together babe, theres nothing we cant do.


these are like special thoughts, for a special someone,


on a special night.


this night, seems to be made for love, alittle more perfect than most.


thats when reality meets fantasy, the result, love.


thats when a man finally meets his lady,


and truly can fit words of beauty,


the promise of marriage,


into words, and let it take flight.


"hey pretty, will you marry me?"

its becoming more evident,
much more obvious to me.
i thought much more of you,
than you ever thought of me.
my biggest mistake,
was thinking you cared.
was i just your plaything,
with heartstrings open and bared.
with me left here still thinking,
what was false, what was true,
so puzzling and complex,
no other clue left.
now im left wondering why,
with all the intrigue,
why am i left hanging.

thinking, cant stop thinking.
think of you, this, that, that life, that day.
that dream was mine.
you shone so bright, not like any star would.
as apparent as white chalk on a blackboard.
nothing could compete with you,
burning so brightly, so beautifully,
in my eyes you were more than a star.
but like all stars, you died.
the gas was gone,
no pull between us.
the atmosphere was dry,
i began to choke.
my world was crumbling and ending,
yours was just beginning.

i took the good times,
and i'll definitely take you at your worst.
you're definitely beautiful,
but its sad others dont see what i see.
hey girl, dont go changing,
i'll take you just as you are,
amazing as you are,
am i up to it?
hey girl, dont forget im here,
accepting you just as you are.

Learning to walk again,
Learning to talk again,
I believed i've waited long enough.

you say you cannot forget,
and you aint ready to forgive.
but i need your friendship,
more than you'll ever know,
i need you there to live.

if time is what you need,
then i guess thats what you'll get,
but be back soon i need you,
my friend,
i hope you forgive.

whats holding you back,

How do I live, without the one I love, I need you to know, you're something, everthing Im looking for, too many hardships have destroyed me, I need this to work. This journey never seems to end, so please just stay for awhile, can you take a good look, it's all a wreck, the day will come but I don't want to leave you, oh please do see the mr right, in me, hear the melody I'm playing for you. I'm too young to die, too old for these disappointments.

i wasnt thinking clearly,

its not measured by distance,

hey girl, is he everything you want?
am i, instead, everything you need?
you have me wanting more, im sure you do too.
is this fair, the way things are going down.
should have known better when i came around,
cus in time, i will leave, impatient.
i was ready to give you more than my name,
what a shame, things are going wayward.
hit me back, when you're serious.

what should i do, this is what i've been doing up till now.
running, puting up strong fronts, dawning new masks.
im not satisfied with life, how am i supposed to be happy,
everything came with a price, things i couldnt afford,
love i couldnt afford. time doesnt change anything,
except it increased my heartbreaks.
