Not Just A Word

“Love is just a word until someone you meet gives it a proper meaning.”
~Source Unknown

You have given the word “love” a whole new meaning for me.

I love you. 

Constant Longing

I’m sitting here now, writing this and missing you. It’s a constant longing that never goes away. I lie in bed at night wishing you were here. I only want to be in your arms. I wish I could see you if only for 5 minutes.

I want you here … I need you here. Now and forever.

But instead I am left alone, trapped in this hole… missing you.

Trying

Trying not to miss you is like trying to describe something indescribable.

I start strong, but end wide-eyed and stuttering. 

Final Destination

You have brought so much meaning to my life, you have filled me with purpose. I sleep and wake up with you not merely on my mind but inside every part  of my body. You are my ultimate reality, my only hope, my only dream, my final destination.

Here Without You

“…all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you
But you’re still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time

I’m here without you
But you’re still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me”

3 Doors Down – Here Without You

Forever Yours

The hardships of distance and time are teaching me to be humble and patient. I never knew I possessed these virtues. Endurance and resilience are not inherent traits in my character. I often gave up too soon when the road ahead looked tough. I would choose a milder slope, a more traveled path perhaps. I sat on the sidelines and watched the world goes by … then you came back into my life.

Time Passes

It seems like we are always looking forward and counting time by weeks and days.

Our World

I really like the world that we have built together. I always want to stay in that world and never want to come back to reality.

Today Is Our Wedding Day!

So our wedding is today. I am about to marry my best friend in the whole world and I am so happy this day has finally arrived.

Our whole relationship has been like a Nicholas Sparks novel and I feel like I have reached the end of a chapter that grabs your curiosity and forces you to go on to the next. I feel like my whole life has been leading up to this point and I am right on the verge of beginning of the greatest years of my life.

Now granted, it won’t always be easy but that’s what makes it fun. Maybe I’m naïve, or maybe, just maybe I know exactly what I’m getting into and I’m ready for this challenge. At any rate, I am the happiest woman in the world.

I love you!

In My Arms

Seems like you’ve been gone for so long.

You walked through the door at mid-night. At first you don’t see me but then you turn your head and you look at me with your penetrating eyes. Suddenly your arms are around me. I wrap my arms around you. And I don’t want to let go. I want to be one with you. Not gently. Not romantically. But the way we’ve always been… with passion…with heat… with energy and life. You whisper in my ear, “I’ve missed you.” And, I’ve missed you too, so very much. 

Need

Only 17 hours to go before you arrive at the airport. I’m dying to see you. I don’t want to see you, I need too. I need to see those green eyes. I love they way they look when you are looking at me. They light up my world and drown away my worries.
 
I’ve missed you. I’ve missed your voice. I’m struck each time you tell me you love me.

 I think of my future and how there is no one better than you.

 I freaking love you! 

It’s Our Turn

Many years and many miles have kept us apart for so long sometimes it’s hard to believe we have really found each other again. Now we must make time disappear and distance grow shorter. We have grown older and matured; now it’s our turn … it’s our turn to make each other happy. 

When You’re Gone

“I always needed time on my own

I never thought I’d need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I’m alone And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

Everything that I do reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

  

When you’re gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you’re gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you’re gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok

I miss you”

Avril Lavigne – When You’re Gone

Another Day

Today is another day that I will spend too far away from you. The house is silent as I am the only one awake and as I sit here with my morning coffee I have a moment to breathe before all the activities of the day begin. The peacefulness is allowing me to think only about you and to reflect upon the lovely words you email and text me. Your words are so eloquent and yet so casual … like an expert chef who doesn’t need to think about the ingredients for his special delicious. I can’t seem to do that adequately, in my mind, in the course of everyday emails. I try to convey how much I love you but in order to do so I have to sit quietly and construct each sentence just so – as I am now.

This is part of what has been on my mind this morning:

I miss you with me. I dream of you. With every message, every phone call, and every email from you, I feel more loved than I have ever felt in my entire life. And what I find so beautiful is the amazing connection of our souls. It’s knowing that no matter where we are or what we are doing there is one person who loves each of us unconditionally. It is safe and comfortable as much as it is beautiful. It is how we have overcome the physical separation. It is how we dream and hope and live. I’m already so close to you, I feel you inside me, but I want to be next to you, touching you, inhaling your scent, tasting your lips. Like you, I just want to be close. 

Defeated Thoughts

I cried myself to sleep last night you know. I was just missing you and I felt alone. There I was lying on the couch, a tear escaped my eye and I began to cry. (Seems the couch is my favourite place to boohoo.)

With all of my being I want your arms around me. I want to feel your lips on my neck and your fingers tangled in my hair. I miss spending the evening alone with you.

Most of all…I just wanted you here. I wanted to be able to turn over and see your face thisclosetomine.

And I hate that I’m so wrapped in emotions. Why do I cry like this every so often? It is so not like me. I am usually so composed, so in control of my feelings. Perhaps it’s because I don’t want to be in control all the time. Or perhaps it’s because I just really miss you.

Distance

“Distance between two hearts is not an obstacle… rather a beautiful reminder of just how strong true love can be”. – Source Unknown

I need you. I need to be in your arms. If only if you were here … I wouldn’t know the definition of this agony that time and distance inflicts day after day. 

I hope as you breath that cold, mountain air, you can sense me with you. As I sense your warmth on these cold, winter nights. 

Oh lover, if only you were here. For now we’ll both continue to dream that some-day dream. 

A Lifetime

“Some people say that love doesn’t last forever.

But I’ve met other people. And while over the decades their bodies have forgotten the ideas of who they were, their heads remember their hearts.

Maybe they didn’t love forever, just a lifetime.

But they still make liars of those people. You and I can make liars of them too.” …Source Unknown

Space

The space beside me is far too empty of you. I love you and I’m missing you … I cannot wait for you to come back to me.

Heart Desires

I once read, “that once your heart desires something, the entire universe conspires to help it achieve what it wants.”

I guess it’s true because you walked back into my life. And, everyday I tell myself how lucky I am to be continuing my life’s journey with you.

I will never stop reminding myself.

I love you!

Tomorrow

I look forward to tomorrow, knowing that I’ll be one day closer to seeing you again.

Three Simple Words

 


I…
Miss…
You…

I really do.

My Love In Technicolor

Before you, my world was grey.

Except, to my eyes, it was normal, this lack of colour was acceptable, relatable; my world was a lack of all that was vibrant and right.

Then you entered my life, like mellow and relaxing music, like a comfortable atmosphere, you surrounded me and put me at ease, thereby allowing snippets of colour to be injected into the monotony that was my day after day after day.

I heard your voice and listened to you laugh once again. I read your words, they touched me and brought back memories buried deep within my subconscious. You lifted me up, placed me next to you and commenced to tell me things about myself that I had forgotten. Things no one else had noticed, things no one else cared about.

More colours, more lights, into a world that had long since forgotten their meanings.

And I adored you; I was amazed with your actions and your wit, your love and your abilities. And I saw you, took in the handsome smoothness of your face, looked into the green eyes that captivated me so. I held your hand, was struck by the realization that my love was as solid for you as your hand in mine.

You guided me with love…and the life of the colours I had dismissed, were brought back in full flow.

I was dizzy from watching them, but you held me steady and delighted in seeing my childlike wonder in the new world we discovered…

…and then you had to go.

I had to leave the colours, leave the lights, leave the life that I enjoyed so much and was growing fond of…a life with you.

Now here, in this hell, comprised of cold and desolate plains, where there is nothing but grey and lifeless to be seen, I miss you with the fiercest passion.

And to alleviate the pain, I spend my time plotting.

Plotting my life with you.

I Need…

~ I need to wake up next to you.
~ I need to watch you sleeping for a while.
~ I need to tell you off for spilling beer on the sofa
~ I need to remember to hug you for as long as possible before you leave.
~ I need to think of you all day, making a few mistakes at work.
~ I need to hum when making coffee.
~ I need to daydream when my friends talk to me.
~ I need to spend the night cuddled in your arms watching TV.
~ I need to here you laugh when I complain that there’s nothing on TV, when I know neither of us care
~ I need to kiss you before I get ready to go to sleep
~ I need to fall asleep knowing you’re right beside me.
~ I need to remember to say “I love you today” before the next day dawns.

I need YOU.

Hope

I sit here at home, wondering how things are going, wondering how you are doing. Wishing I could be there by your side.

For you see…

I miss your voice that soothed me when I was scared and shushed the rising of tears when it was time for you to go.

I miss your touch that held me tight through the night, promising that you would never let go.

I miss your eyes that held love only for me.

I miss your ears that listened to every word I spoke we talked for hours.

I miss your kisses that were hot across my skin when you kissed me goodbye.

Most of all…

I miss you. You are all I ever wanted. All I ever needed.

Do me a favour my love … when you send emails from that far away place, tell me that you are coming home soon. Because that gives me hope, hope that soon I will hold you again.

I love you!

Just Longing For You

Every second of my day,
My body is calling for you,
My mind is calling for you,
My soul is calling for you,

And my heart is screaming for you.

It’s so much easier to be apart, when I know how long we are parted, and when that time is short. Then my body, and my mind, and my soul, and especially my heart, can try to wait patiently.

However, now we are separated, not by a weekend trip with family, or a Saturday job, or an outing with friends. We are separated by: an eleven-hour flight, a three-hour time difference, ever shifting work and stupidly expensive texting rates.

So of course my body, and my mind, and my soul, and especially my heart, start their loud and constant objection.

So now, at nights I am kept awake by thoughts of you. Then I am plagued by blissful dreams of you. And I am kept restless knowing I cannot be in your arms where I belong.

And what does my heart do?

It cries,
And weeps,
And screams,
And begs.

But most of all, it will lie there, feeling hollow and broken, because part of it, remains with you. And in these quiet moments, of longing you be reunited with you, I find myself drifting. And I clutch the reminder of you that I wear around my neck, in my small, tight fist.

And I just long for you.

 ♥

Something

There’s something about us. I can’t put my finger on it. But there’s something … something phenomenal.

I love you!

Change

You make me feel as though I am special. You are the only person I know who wouldn’t change one thing about me. You love everything about me, even my flaws you find hard to resist, because if you changed anything I wouldn’t be me, I’d be someone else. And that somebody else, whoever they were just wouldn’t be the same and that would never do.

A Picture

I have a picture. It’s one my favourite pictures. Not of a special person or a special place. It’s just one moment in time.

The moment I asked a question and you said, “Yes”. 

♥ 

Missing

I’m sitting here drinking my morning coffee, and thinking about “missing”.

Missing is a strange thing that I never thought applied to my life. But, now you’ve flown away, I miss you with a fiery intensity. It burns and burns. It has no end.

Missing is unfair. It creeps up sneakily behind me and leaps to my side whenever you’re not here.

I miss the warmth in your eyes. And the smile that plays on your lips. I miss the sound of your voice… I can’t hear it. I miss holding your hand and arguing over the colour of the sky. I miss waking up in the middle of the night, feeling your warmth beside me. Your chest against my back, your arm around my waist, your legs bending in line with mine.

I just miss things like this. And you.

Right

Stripped naked and left vulnerable, when the mask is undone. No one has such an effect on me before; your very presence seems to take all my blues away.

The walls just disappear with you around me. You’ve opened me up, you’ve made me smile. I see skins of myself that I’ve never seen before, I sit here undressed, but I feel liberated.

The mask is not required with you around; I am finally able to trust — completely and honestly.

The layers of skin peeling away, the caterpillar finally becoming a butterfly. Although naked and vulnerable around you, it sure feels damn right. 

I Miss You

I miss our funny, little jokes that only we could understand.

I miss sitting on the sofa together and talking, just talking.

I miss laughing with you, when we’d discover things that we both thought were really funny.

I miss you. What else can I say?

Missed The Most

The gentle teasing of your hand on my cheek. The way your arms wrap around my body. The way you say I love you and kiss my neck. The way you move my hair away from my face. The way your voice brings chills to my spine when you whisper in my ear. The luscious feeling I get when my lips meet yours. That jolt of chemistry I feel when I stare into your eyes. The way your eyes light up when you are telling a story. The way you smile when I smile at you. The way you chuckle when I mess up my words.

All these things and more will be missed.

The simple way we were just together and it was just us… will be missed the most. 

It Means…

… anyway you want to say it the meaning remains the same.

I love you.

Some Things Never Change

You know who I am. Not the me who changes masks for the world every hour of the day, depending on the audience – you know the me behind that. Beyond the tiny voice in my head. Beyond the compromises I make.

You accept me. You understand me. From the tapping of my fingers, to the corners of my mouth, to the look in my eyes.

You know me. And I love you. 

Reality

“For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.” -Judy Garland 

You are a dream that came true. You boldly stepped forward and said you wanted nothing more than a lifetime of love with me. We are an illusion that turned to reality. 

You Are A Part of Me

This is my…
Gift to you…
For all the things you’ve done for me
Lifting me up when I didn’t know what to do
You’ve told me your secrets
And I have told you mine
Our lives have come together
And now we have combined.
My words are my gift
To both myself and to you
Because for some reason
With all these words to read
Mine are the ones you choose

This is my…
Gift to you…
I show you the world
As I see it
I write this now
Because I mean it
You’ve stood behind me and held me up
Even when I didn’t know you were there
You have become such a part of me
I only wish that I could thank you as much
As you deserve to be

I guess we are bound now,
By what we read
As much as I am a part of you…
You are a part of me
These are my words,
My gift to you 

Perfection

“I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away and dreaming

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we’re together
And I just want to stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever”
 

- Aerosmith “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”

Last night you finally arrived on silver wings. In spite of cancelled flights, delays, lost luggage you are with me once again. Nothing could be more perfect. 

I love you!

Longing

51 days have pat since I last saw you. In a few hours you’ll be arriving on sliver wings. I am so excited; it seemed like this day would never come.

The longing twists the days around. I’ve been missing you. Counting the days until I could see you again. I long for your embrace … for the touch of your lips … the feel of your hands … the way you look into my eyes … the way you hold my hand … everything about you.

What I long for most is forever with you.

 

The Missing Piece

“She been like a caterpillar in a cocoon until he had drown her out and shown her that she was a butterfly.” - Pillars of Earth

I realise there have been parts of me that have been empty my whole life waiting to be filled… by you. I have found the last piece of the puzzle that has been missing… that piece is you.

Two Hearts

As I look out the window on this cold winter night I see the snowflakes swirling. I stare at all of the twinkling lights; they are alone in the darkness just like me. I sit here quietly thinking, remembering our last Christmas together. You sat and talked with me while I stuffed the stockings.

It’s Christmas and the whole world smiling. I’m just trying to get through it all with out you here. Although I know time and distance cannot separate two hearts guided by the hands of destiny, the thought does little to stop me from missing you this day.   I tell myself only two more days until you step off that plane; it’s comforting but still not the same. 

I love you. 

More

You are more than just the man I love. You are the friend I can share my deepest secrets with. I feel that I have so much love to give and that it’s been bottled up inside me for so long. No one but you has been interested in opening the bottle to see what’s inside. You have not only been interested and willing to open that bottle but you inspire and encourage what’s inside.

You are the man I want to share’s life’s adventures with. I think we have been brought together at this time in our lives for something very special. I can’t wait to explore what life has in store for us.

I know I write these words several times a day; I hope they never lose their meaning and I hope you never get tired of hearing them  … I love you … now and forever. 

The Best Feeling

Telling you that I miss you is not something new because you already know I miss you – all the time. I can´t stop thinking about you, even if I try my hardest to think of something else. You never seem to leave my thoughts. You are my most constant memory. I think missing someone who is absent is the saddest feeling of all.

I must confess how happy I am to have you back in my life. How good it feels to love you. And, even though you are half way across this vast country and not here by my side, the affection and passion that surrounds us is strong. I see it in our texts and emails; I hear it in our phone calls; I see it during LiveCall; and most importantly I feel it everyday in my body and soul.

You know, loving you and being loved by you is the best feeling I’ve ever experienced in my life. 

Thing Called Love

Words never seem enough but, right now, they are all we have.

The word “love” has failed to describe our intense passion for one another, the word even seems inadequate. But, in it’s simplicity, this word means so much more.

I love you!

 

Time Passes

“Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.”

Stephenie Mayer – Twilight, New Moon 

Time is passing too slowly my love. I am counting the hours until you are with me once again.

Our Dream

We have a mutual dream. The one we both carry in our hearts and minds. The one that propels us forward when we might have been held back. The one that is our buffer from the burdens of our separate lives. The dream of one day being together…forever.

Distance

Can miles truly separate us…? If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there? If you love someone more then anything, then distance only matters to the mind, not to the heart.

My Dream

For years I’ve dreamed of a man. The man. The one who answers to every call of my soul. The one who understands without explaining, who does without asking, who hears without words. The one whose love for me is reflected in his eyes like stars, whose touch makes me tremble, whose strength keeps me forever within his embrace. The one who has danced through every one of my fantasies. After the daydreams I would laugh at myself and say “There could never be a man like this, but it was fun to think about.”

But there is a man like this. There is you. You are the only man I see now and always. You are the man in all my fantasies. You are the master of everything. You are my dream and I dream of being in your arms forever.

 ♥

Gift of Love

How pleasantly surprised I was to receive your gift yesterday. I mentioned something in passing and you remembered. It is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received. It is something that will make memories last forever. Thank you so much.

But did you know it is your gifts of words I hold closest to my heart? Its your words that make me feel loved like no other, that make me laugh, sing, and cry, that make me burn with more passion that I’ve ever experienced before.

I love you.

 ♥ 

In Love

“When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.”
- Dr Seuss

Love, Lust & Longing

Love is the light that fills my soul whenever I think of you.

Lust is the fire that boils my blood making my skin a warm red hue.

Longing is the ache that breaks my heart because you are so far away.

Loss is the darkness in which I live without you every day.
