Fear....

Tonight fear struck my heart

it came creeping from behind

like a shadow from the dark...

slowly loneliness was felt within me

and fear slowly consumed my soul...

the fear of losing you my love...

of not having a chance to kiss your lips

to hold you in my arms..

and feel you heart beat next to mine

was all to painful.

But I know I should be strong...

strong enough to fight back these feelings

cause for you may dear...

my love will prevail

no hunger nor thirst, nor pain and sorrow

will stop me from fighting for your love

and will keep hope within me alive...

to show all the darkness in the world

that our love can conquer even the darkest fear in our hearts..

I Love you more than "Love"

It is impossible to capture in words
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 phenomenal 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" was invented to explain
the deep, all-encompassing feelings that 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
"love"
