I'll Never Love Anyone the Way I Love You
In loving you , i have experienced
the happiness, the hurt,
the feeling of forever,
the need to be with you and love you.
It's all here inside of me.
it's you i always think about,
It's you i always miss,
and it will always be you,
because you are the one i love.
To me love means forever.
No one will ever take your place
or know me as you do.
You always know what i'm thinking
and what i'm feeling deep down.
I'll never love anyone
the way i love you...

Seems like after all we've been through
We would have learned by now
never to fight for who gets the last word
It doesn't matter anyhow
But around and around we go in circles
Trying to work things through
And sometimes it feels like miles between us...
But i love you so much that in spite of the struggle
I keep coming back to you
- Beth Nielsen Chapman and Bill Lloyd,
(from the song, "I Keep Coming Back to You")
I'm Sorry for the Times When I Get Angry
I'm sorry for those times
when i'm not who i should be,
when i grow impatient
and frustrated
because things don't work out.
I know that you, too,
have things on your mind,
and i have no right to become upset with you.
It's just hard sometimes to understand the way things go wrong,
and i wanted you to know
that i'm sorry for those times when i become harsh and angry with you.
I hope ou can understand and forgive me.

I Thanked You Deeply for Being the
Person Whom I Love
It seems like the more I love you
the more sensitive I become
I find myself becoming hurt too easily
and for no reason at all
Sometimes you do something completely normal
but it might not include me
and I feel so slighted
I appear cold to you
but really I am just hurt
Please bear with me during these times
and understand that I am not trying
to put pressure on you
It is just that my love for you
has made me extremely vulnerable
and though I don’t like feeling hurt so easily
love has opened up for me
a new sense of awareness
of myself and of other people
I thank you deeply for bringing out
the new depths of emotions
that I now feel
and I thank you deeply for
being the person whom all
these beautiful and intense
feelings of love
are for.

Getting Through the Hard Times
Is Part of What Love Is All About
Do you remember when we first met?
Do you remember how close we were,
and how much we loved being together?
It was as if we could conquer the world --
Just the two of us.
I wish sometimes that we could
feel that way more often,
We seem to have drifted apart,
So much has happened to us since we first met.
Our lives were simple back then;
now we have many responsibilities.
We've been through a lot of changes.
Yet one thing has never changed --
my lov for you.
Somehow everything else doesn't seem
as overwhelming as long as you're here
changing and growing with me.
So even in these times when things seem harder;
I think we can take comfort in knowing
that we'll make it with the help of
that very same love that brought us together
not so very long ago.

It Isn't always Easy to Be in a Relationship
...but there's no place I'd rather be than in love with you
It's not always easy
to be what we want to be for one another.
Sometimes it's difficult to keep our relatinship
growing and moving in new directions,
instead of feeling too much the same,
day after day.
Sometimes we struggle for an understanding
of one another's feelings; of what it means
to be in a relationship; of how to find
some kind of fulfillment as individuals;
and how to bring ourselves together
to make one better union.
It isn't always easy.
But what matters to me
is that we're trying.
Sure we have questions.
But i can't tell you how much it means
when we search for the answers...together.
To my way of thinking, that's the second
most important thing we can do.
The first is for you to keep on
believing in me,
the way i will always
believe in you.
That's how love works.
And I do love you.
-Alin Austin
I Wish We Could
Spend More Time Together --
Just the Two of Us
The times we spend alone with each other
are so important to me,
and when we don't have those times,
there's a feeling of loneliness
that seems to touch
every part of my life.
You are the only one that
I always want to be with
and whom i never tire of.
The time we take just for us
always adds a new dimension to our love
and strengthens the closeness between us
that I treasure.
Without our special times,
my life seems like an empty shell
and my heart is a weak and lonely place.
I love being with you,
and i never want to be without
everything we share.

If I Sometimes
Hold On to You
Too Tightly...
It Is Only Because
I Love You So Much
If I want to take up a lot of your time,
it is because your presence
gives me so much pleasure.
if i worry about you too much,
It is my own fear
of losing the one i truly love.
If i don't want to share you
with anyone else,
it is because my heart wants
to be with only you.
If my eyes see only you,
and my heart holds room for
no one else...
It is only because I love you
so much.
-Nancy A. Prunty
Will You Meet Me Halfway?
Will you meet me halfway
on the road back to understanding
as we try to overcome the tension
and the silence?
As we recall all that we were in better days gone by.
As we try to capture all those loving feelings
that seem so distant now.
As we try once mor eto cement
the bond of our love
so fragile and so young.
As we try one more time to heal our pain
and disappointment.
I will meet you more than halfway,
if you will meet me halfway.
-Tim Connor
As Much As I Love You,
I Still Need to Be Alone Sometimes
Sometimes i just need
a little space to myself:
a little room to breathe,
a time set apart just for me.
It isn't that I don't love you,
because I do.
Sometimes I just need
to be alone for a while,
so i can recharge myself
and become a better person.
it is no reflection on you
or on our love;
it's just that some solitude
is necessary for me.
Sometimes I just need
to sit back and relax,
taking in all the things
that are happening in my world,
and sorting through
my feelings and thoughts.
Taking some time for myself
is as vital to me as breathing;
it keeps me going when stresses come.
Sometimes I just need to pull back,
to stand apart,
to focus on what is urgent.
itis at these times
that i most need you
and your understanding.
it is then that i need
a friend as well as a lover.
At these times. please know
that i still love you,
I still care,
and I want you to be happy.
it is just that I cannot
love you the right way
unless i love and take care
of myself, too.
