What is love?

How Do I Love Thee?

2009-01-23T15:53:00.001-08:00

How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being an ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,--I love thee with the Breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

History Of Valentine's Day

2009-01-21T15:20:00.000-08:00

Valentine's Day has been link as a day for love and romance where lovers exchange presents and spend the day together. This source of this day is believed to be tracked from both Christian and Roman tradition.

February might not be considered Spring for many of us today, especially in certain areas of the US where there is still snow on the ground. But for the Romans this Lupercalia on the 14 and the Valentine's Day on the 15th got blended into one day and occurred 7 weeks after the Winter Soltice, marking the progression from Winter into Spring. In the Middle Ages it was felt that birds chose their mates on February 14. So February 14th has been considered the official mating day for centuries.

Italy also had another Spring festival during the Middle Ages in which young singles gathered in the gardens to listen to love poetry and romantic music. Afterward they paired off and strolled through the trees and flowers etc. In France this pairing-off custom went on for a while, but it ended up causing a lot of jealousies and became more trouble than it was worth and was dropped. But in England the custom of young men drawing names for "Valentines" or sweethearts remained for centuries even after the Roman occupation ended. The young men in England would write down all the names of the young women on pieces of paper and then roll them up tightly and put them in a bowl. The young men (blindfolded) would take turns drawn a name from the bowl. The girl's name that he drew meant that she would be his "valentine" for the next year.

The Catholic Church recognised 3 different saints by the name of Valentine all of whom were martyred (According to the Catholic Encyclopedia 1908). The 3 of them are
- a priest in Rome who suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was buried on the Via Flaminia.
- a bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) also suffered martyrdom in the second half of the 3rd century and was also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than the priest.
- a martyr in North Africa, about whom little else is known.

According to legend in the 3rd century after Christ, the Emperor Claudius II did not want any of his soldiers falling in love and marrying because he felt women and families distracted the soldier's from their duty to him.. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

It was also rumoured that Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While Valentine was in prison awaiting his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

Your Name In My Heart

2008-12-29T11:47:00.000-08:00

I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in my heart,
and forever it will stay.

Never Have I Fallen

2008-12-29T11:34:00.000-08:00

Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest

I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight

Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away

When You Love Someone

2008-12-15T16:11:00.000-08:00

When you love someone so deep inside,
It seems like it's so easy to hide.
You've loved him for so very long,
You would think he could do no wrong.

Every day you would hope and pray,
That he would always stay this way.
He treated you like you should be treated,
You thought your life was finally completed.

You thought your love was growing true,
And then one day it was all so blue.
He started putting you down and it hurt,
You thought all you were to him was dirt.

He started ignoring you and you wondered why,
All you wanted to do was curl up and die.
You thought your relationship would never end,
But that was all so fake and pretend.

One night he was so sweet to you,
You thought all those things were maybe untrue,
Two days later he was back the same,
You thought you were the one to blame.

He thought the relationship was getting too serious
And that you had become a little too curious.
By this time you knew it wouldn't last,
All the nice things he said were in the past.

You thought that you would marry him some day,
But this time God wanted to get his way.
You wanted things back how they were before,
But you knew this couldn't happen anymore.

It was a Saturday night about ten o'clock,
You heard the news and it wasn't a shock.
You knew this was going to happen soon,
As you laid there and cried in the pale lit moon.

Love you forever more

2008-11-26T12:19:00.000-08:00

I love to feel your gentle touch,
It’s warm against my skin.
And the way you leave my heart in disrepair,
time and time again.
I love your smell and salty taste,
when you are going strong.
I could partake of you time and time again,
all night and all day long.
I wish I could hear the stories,
from the places you have been.
Many have cursed you horribly,
to others your a friend.
You’ve put many in a watery grave,
and carried many others home.
There’s not a place upon any shore,
where your dare not rome.
I’ll always greet you happily,
and enjoy your warm embrace.
I’ll enjoy the warmth and tenderness,
as you caress my face.
If your not there when I arrive,
I’ll wait at the shore.
Ocean wind I pray that you,
will blow forever more. …

Loser

2008-11-24T11:53:00.000-08:00

pain and pain
how so, hard we try

my heart longs for you
all i can do is to cry

winds will never flow again
memories are all, time can buy

pleasure is lost
wat lost is the charm of sky

stars dont shine anymore
how so, hard they try

you are lost
and so am i

lost is the spirit
can u tell me why?

All I'd want is you.. -

2008-11-24T11:43:00.000-08:00

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride

Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

Broken Heart

2008-11-24T11:38:00.000-08:00

O Mistress Mine

2008-11-04T09:08:00.000-08:00

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear! your true-love’s coming
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no further, pretty sweeting,
Journeys end in lovers’ meeting—
Every wise man’s son doth know.

What is love? ‘tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What’s to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty,—
Then come kiss me, Sweet-and-twenty,
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.

The Definition of Love

2008-11-04T09:01:00.000-08:00

My love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis for object strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.

Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing
Where feeble Hope could ne'er have flown,
But vainly flapp'd its tinsel wing.

And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixt,
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.

For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic pow'r depose.

And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant poles have plac'd,
(Though love's whole world on us doth wheel)
Not by themselves to be embrac'd;

Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear;
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramp'd into a planisphere.

As lines, so loves oblique may well
Themselves in every angle greet;
But ours so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.

Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.

I Am Not Yours

2008-11-04T08:58:00.001-08:00

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love, put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

Ah, My Beloved

2008-11-04T08:52:00.000-08:00

Ah, my beloved, fill the cup that clears

Today of past regrets and future fears;

Tomorrow? Why, tomorrow I may be,

Myself, with yesterday's sev'n thousand years.

An Entrapment

2008-10-24T11:17:00.000-07:00

My love, I have tried with all my being
                 to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
                 but nothing seems worthy;

                 I know now why Shakespeare could not
                 compare his love to a summer’s day.
                  It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
                 of such a creature as thee,
                 to simply cast away the precision
                 God had placed in forging you.

                 Each facet of your being
                 whether it physical or spiritual
                 is an ensnarement
                 from which there is no release.
                 But I do not wish release.
                 I wish to stay entrapped forever.
                 With you for all eternity.
                 Our hearts, always as one.

A Special World

2008-10-24T11:06:00.001-07:00

A special world for you and me

A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Saying I Do

2008-10-24T11:00:00.000-07:00

Saying I do
Is more than saying I love you
It goes beyond describing how my love is true
Because words are not enough to express my love for you.

Saying I do
Is like saying I am here for you
That I am ready to see what the future may bring
Because we are together in everything.

Saying I do
Is saying I am now complete because of you
That the pieces of the puzzle called "my life"
Becomes a beautiful picture called "our love".

And now I am saying "I DO"
As I walk down the aisle with you
This is a lifetime promise that I will hold
A promise I make until we grow old.

You'll be forever

2008-10-24T10:11:00.000-07:00

It's perfect, and touches me deep
First thing in the morning, when I hear you speak
And last thing at night as you bid me sweet dreams
The brush of your lips lets me know what you mean

And all of the hours that pass through the day
Those spent together and when you're away
I think of you always, imagine your touch
Think how to show you, I love you so much

So when we're apart, and you long for me near
Just try to remember, you're already here
For deep in my heart, where no one can see
You'll be forever, together we'll be

Blessed

2008-10-24T09:57:00.000-07:00

How blessed I am that you are in my life
                Not a day goes by when I do not think of you
                You make everything alright
                To you I do not have to prove myself
                For you know me
                I love you

                 How blessed I am that you are in my life
                How honoured I am to be a part of yours
                Memories made and shared
                With you the one I love
                My friend, my lover, my queen
                'Til the end

A Heart Remembers

2008-10-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

A memory burned within, from a heartfelt second long ago
              a moment... one single moment, that only a heart can remember
              a fleeting thought, gone astray, but the feeling looms inside you
              a boy and a girl... so far apart, so long the days
              that it took their hearts to remind them...
              how fortunate they are, that a heart...
              can return a fleeting thought,
              one single moment, or a memory burned within...
              so they can now live as one
              as only inside true love, can such a past remain
              until... it's found again

One Fateful Day

2008-10-24T09:29:00.000-07:00

No river's span is quite as vast
No mountain's reach so high.
No rose's scent is quite as sweet
As the love I hold inside.

Every time I see your face and
Every time you smile,
Every time I kiss your lips,
My love grows all the while

I’m the luckiest man to walk the earth
To know a love like yours
Loving is so easy now
You’ve opened my heart’s doors.

And I'll love you 'til my life has ceased
And still more with my soul
Because that fateful day we met,
My heart you forever stole.

Awakening

2008-10-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

That morning whisper
A gentle kiss
A suspended moment
Of perfect bliss

That precious feeling
As eyes first meet
Bodies entwined
In sleepy heat

Fingers touching
Breath as one
Hearts in rhythm
We greet the sun

Content, in truth
Just to be
Simply enjoying
You and me

Freeze This Moment

2008-10-13T15:59:00.000-07:00

We were sitting on your rooftop
Staring at the skies
The sun was dipping lower
I looked into your eyes
You saw what I was feeling
I know you felt it too
We wanted time to just stand still
Then forever there'd be me and you
Why can't we freeze this moment?
Return to it in time
Stay together through the years
Proclaim I'm yours and you are mine
So let us freeze this moment
Store it safely away
Even if we leave this place
We'll return to it someday

A Perfect Moment

2008-10-13T15:36:00.000-07:00

Beautiful eyes open across a pillow top,
It seems for this moment time will stop,
The earth slows and sounds wane,
A frozen moment without stain.

Your body close to mine,
Our hearts beat in time,
With a smile of simple pleasure,
This moment should last forever.

Some say perfection is unattainable
For most things that's explainable,
But in your arms and with your heart's affection
I have found a brief moment of perfection.

Believe

2008-10-13T15:24:00.000-07:00

What Is There,
To Believe In During Life,
Nothing Lasts,
Aside From Strife,
Life May Perish,
Life May End,
Our Soul We May Give,
Our Soul We May Spend,
But Our Love,
That Eternal Flame,
Will Never Dim,
Will Never Change,
It Will Forever Last,
When All Other Lights Leave,
For You Light My Life,
You Make Me Believe.

Key To My Heart

2008-10-13T15:08:00.000-07:00

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again.

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.

That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...
You had it all along.

Still love with you

2008-10-11T06:20:00.000-07:00

When love is an affliction,

There's not much one can do.

Despite the way you've treated me

I'm still in love with you..................

Love's Trinity

2008-10-10T16:21:00.000-07:00

Soul, heart, and body, we thus singly name,
Are not in love divisible and distinct,
But each with each inseparably link'd.
One is not honour, and the other shame,
But burn as closely fused as fuel, heat, and flame.

They do not love who give the body and keep
The heart ungiven; nor they who yield the soul,
And guard the body. Love doth give the whole;
Its range being high as heaven, as ocean deep,
Wide as the realms of air or planet's curving sweep.

What is Love

2008-10-08T13:56:00.000-07:00

It is Love that gives me purpose
to change and grow and learn.
It is Love that guides me on this path
and helps me choose each turn.

It is Love that gives me courage
to stand against my fears;
to open up my heart to you,
to let you see my tears.

It is Love that gives me trust and hope
when things go wrong.
When distance stands between us,
it is Love that keeps me strong.

It is Love that offers harmony
and a friendship that is true.
How wonderful that I can share
a Love like this with you!

Here I Love You

2008-10-08T13:05:00.001-07:00

In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.

Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.
Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port.
Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.
The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

I Love You On Your Birthday!

2008-10-07T15:44:00.000-07:00

I Want To Say I Love You On Your Birthday!
I want to say I love you on your birthday,
Though love is something you don’t want from me.
Things didn’t go so well when I last said it,
And so I’ll keep it silent in my heart.
But how the words reverberate within me!
A song that I must struggle not to sing,
A music I must dance to without motion,
A poem that I must never read aloud.
Your wishes are a wall I would not scale,
Yet won’t abandon, loathe to leave behind.
I cannot have, and cannot bear to lose you,
And so I send you this in my despair.

LOVE IS LOVE

2008-10-07T15:43:00.001-07:00

LOVE IS LOVE
HATE IS HATE
SORRY BABY
BUT UR TO LATE
I PLAY MY CARDS
& I PLAY THEM KOOL
ILL BE UR LOVE
BUT NOT UR “FOOL”

Love is when

2008-10-07T15:23:00.000-07:00

Love is when someone likes your ways,
and you like their ways too.

that person will always have a loved one.
and that loved ones always you,

its on the inside,
not how they look.

some people steel other’s heart’s
but its not always in a book.

Heart and Soul

2008-10-03T16:39:00.000-07:00

Knowing life can be rough
You carry an image of being macho and tough
But the closer we get
The less you fret
Peeling off your tough skin
You allow my love to seep in
Seeing your softer side
I've made up my mind
So I give you my heart
Hoping you won't tear it apart

You treat me better than I think you should
But I love you more than I ever thought I would
So baby please take my heart and soul
Just promise me you'll never let them go

Love Is like an Iceberg

2008-09-30T13:22:00.001-07:00

Love is like an iceberg in that
Most is not observed.
The deep part grinds against far shores
No port has ever served.

My feelings for you are beyond
All words, all thoughts, all knowing.
My love lies deep beneath my sea,
With need and passion showing.

But the bulk of it moves silently,
Counting days in years.
I think of you and suddenly
My heart is wrenched with tears.

I feel within me something huge,
Unseen but lovely, move;
I know I'm just a breath across
This dark and awesome love.

My Mood Is like a Cloudy Noon

2008-09-30T13:20:00.000-07:00

My mood is like a cloudy noon
Waiting for the sun,
Or like a sailing ship that can't
Set sail without the tide.

I fidget in my emptiness,
Not knowing where to run;
Yet when you're near I can't explain
What's going on inside.

It's too bad feelings swim so deep,
Too deep for anyone
To grasp them as they squiggle through
And take them for a ride.

I Love You

2008-09-29T17:13:00.000-07:00

When April bends above me
And finds me fast asleep
Dust need not keep the secret
A live heart died to keep.

When April tells the thrushes,
The meadow-larks will know,
And pipe the three words lightly
To all the winds that blow.

Above his roof the swallows,
In notes like far-blown rain,
Will tell the little sparrow
Beside his window-pane.

O sparrow, little sparrow,
When I am fast asleep,
Then tell my love the secret
That I have died to keep.

You're The One

2008-09-23T14:15:00.000-07:00

Is it possible
That someone like you
Could complete me?

You're the only one I want
The only one I think about
The only one I truly love

You've treated me wrong sometimes
As I've done the same
But everyone makes mistakes
And your not one of mine

Be with me for the rest of time
I'll give you my heart
And you give me your mind

Everlasting Love

2008-09-23T14:14:00.000-07:00

What is it about you?
That makes my stomach turn
My heart beat fast
My mouth curl

Is it your beautiful smile?
Your sexy lips
The sweetness of your voice
Or just what whisper me

The many things we had and shared
The sunsets
The candlelight dinners
Our passion and love

The ways we talked and laughed
Were only dreams before we met
Now turned into reality
How I wish this will last for eternity

Feeling

2008-09-23T14:13:00.001-07:00

Feeling your love caress my heart
Feeling your light touch my soul
Feeling like the golden sun
Feeling the way you move me
Feeling your mind touch my life
Knowing I can't lose you
For you are my life, heart, and soul
Forever I am yours

Why I Love You

2008-09-23T14:10:00.000-07:00

I've never seen you
Or touched your skin
I've never felt your lips
Or held you tight
But I know I love you

Not because of the way you look
Or because of that sexy voice
Not because of the things you say
But because of whom you are

When we meet I will kiss you
And hold you all night

I love everything about you
Because it's you

One Kiss

2008-09-23T14:09:00.000-07:00

One kiss is all I want
To take away my tears
And give me a healthy smile

One kiss is all I want
To give me hope
And take on life as it comes

One kiss is all I want
To know your lips
And hold them forever

One kiss is all I want
To show you I love you
And be there for eternity

Without You

2008-09-23T14:07:00.000-07:00

My tears are flowing for you
As my mind wonders and heart beats
My body is nothing without you

And as the wetness of my cheek are beginning to dry
And my thoughts weaken and try to forget
I feel like nothing without you

The beats within my chest were real,
Something that no one will ever steal
When there is nothing without you

But as I try to forget you more and more
My body grows weaker and begins to wear
Mind floats, rises to react

I know I'm nothing without you...

Wanting You

2008-09-23T14:02:00.000-07:00

You are so amazing
When I look into your eyes
I feel nothing but cravings

You make me feel so ecstatic
Chills rush down my spine
My heart beats fast
I feel warmth throughout my body

All I hope for is just one kiss
Your sweet lips against mine
My arms around you
Holding you until the end of time

AN ONLINE LOVE STORY

2008-09-18T11:48:00.002-07:00

Five years after registering with Thaimate.com, the matchmaking web site connected Suphakan Tiangpoonwong, 31 and her husband Phaiboon with each other. The two married in March last year after dating for nine months. Suphakan is an office worker, while Phaiboon is a navy officer.

"I just broke up with my boyfriend when I first registered with ThaiMate, feeling a bit lonely and bored with the same old circle of friends and people I met everyday. I hoped the web site will enlarge my world, and allow me to meet new people, " says Suphakan.

Many guys approached her before Phaiboon, but she turned them down after a few phone calls and dates.

"For some I can tell they're not the right ones just after the first talk. Many guys turned out to be so impolite and tricky I don't hesitate to reject them after the first date. People from the cyberworld can be good or bad, so we have to use our careful judgement with them," she says.

For Phaiboon, Suphakan didn't trust him at first.

"He introduced himself in his first mail, saying he wanted to know me, and asked for my phone number. I think that's weird. How can a man I never know ask for my phone number since the first mail? I was afraid he's a psychopath and didn't reply," she says.

But Phaiboon kept writing to her. He explained he didn't have much time logging into the net, so he would like to get to her on the phone.

After four to five mails, the woman replied. Then they started talking on the phone, and Suphakan felt something click between her and Phaiboon. He kept calling her everyday.

"He's always nice and polite. We continued emailing and talking, and I felt that despite many differences, we share a lot in common and can get along very well," she says.

Four months after they are connected, she decided they should meet. Phaiboon at first was reluctant, fearing she would be disappointed when seeing him. But Suphakan insisted on her decision.

"I felt our relationship had progressed to certain level. I told him we had to meet so as to know if we can go any further. If it didn't work, then we should quit. We're getting older and I don't think we should waste more time with the wrong one," she explains.

Their first meeting was in front of the Government Lottery Office on Ratchadamnoen Road. They had dinner and talk. Since then, love begins to blossom.

"Truly, his look is not my type, but the experiences teach me I can't get all I want. As long as he's a good guy, always nice to me, and we can get along well, I want nothing more," says Suphakan.

They decided to marry each other nine months after dating.

"We know we're not at the crossroads anymore. We've lived our lives and are ready to settle down with someone. It's our luck that we've found each other," she says.

A Silent Love

2008-09-18T11:48:00.001-07:00

From the very Beginning, the girl's family objected strongly on her dating this guy. Saying that it has got to do with family background & that the girl will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family's pressure, the couple quarrel very often. Though the girl love the guy deeply, but she always ask him: "How deep is your love for me?"

As the guy is not good with his words, this often causes the girl to be very upset. With that & the family's pressure, the girl often vents her anger on him. As for him, he only endures it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies in overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl: "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?"

The girl agreed, & with the guy's determination, the family finally gave in & agreed to let them get married. So before he leaves, they got engaged.

The girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas, continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls. Though it's hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a car that lost control. When she woke up, she saw her parents beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. She has lost her voice......

Let Me LOVE You

2008-09-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, there was once a guy who was very much in love with this girl.

This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of papercranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small executive in his company, his future doesn't seemed too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualise any future for the both of them, so let's go their own ways there and then... heartbroken, the guy agreed.

When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself. Finally with all these hardwork and with the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company...

"You never fail until you stop trying." he always told himself. "I must make it in life!"

One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realise those were his ex-girlfriend's parents. With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore, he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it in life!

Before the guy can realise, the couple was walking towards a cemetary,and he got out of his car and followed them...and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone... and he saw his precious papercranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.

Her parents saw him. He walked over and asked them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with cancer.
In her heart, she had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want her illness to be his obstacle ... therefore she had chosen to leave him.

She had wanted her parents to put his papercranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again he can take some of those back with him. The guy just wept ...the worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them but knowing you can't have them and will never see them again.

My Love

2008-09-16T17:26:00.000-07:00

An empty street, an empty house
I hold inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller.
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together.(oh yeah)

And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems soo far

Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take it there
Where the skies are bule, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again... my love.

I try to read, I know the work
I left them with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking. (oh no)
I wonder how, I wonder why, I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we sang together.(oh yeah)

And all my love, I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that seems soo far

Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take it there
Where the skies are blue, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again...

To hold you in my arms
To promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of

Reaching for the love that seems soo far

Soo I say it in a prayer
And hope my dreams will take its there
Where the skies are blue, the sea is once again... my love.
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again... my love.

Say it in a prayer (my sweet love)
Dreams will take it there
Where the skies are blue (woah yeah),
the sea is once again my love. (oh my love)
All the seasons coast to coast
Find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green, the sea is once again.... My Love.

My Love for You Is like the Surging Sea

2008-09-16T11:18:00.000-07:00

My love for you is like the surging sea,
Wild and passionate against the sand.
I'm the surf withdrawing helplessly;
You're the firm and finely sculpted land.
I love you as the wind caresses grass,
Running gentle fingers through its hair.
I whisper my sweet nothings as I pass;
You bend away as if you didn't care.
Sometimes I feel that I am like the sun,
Shining down on you with hot desire.
You tan yourself precisely 12:00 to 1:00,
Then shade yourself from my too ardent fire.
Ah, words! Why do I care? What do they say?
But I'm in love, so there's no other way!

All I Ever Wanted Is in You

2008-09-16T11:17:00.000-07:00

All I ever wanted is in you:

Love, laughter, a pillow for my fears.

I want to give and to be given to

So I might feel myself flow through the years

Alive in you, the wonder of my tears.

My Love

2008-09-15T13:54:00.000-07:00

My love is like an ocean
it goes down so deep
my love is like a rose
whose beauty you want to keep.

My love is like a river
that will never end
my love is like a dove
with a beautiful message to send.

My love is like a song
that goes on and on forever
my love is like a prisoner
it’s to you that I surrender.

What is Love?

2008-07-26T04:21:00.000-07:00

What is love? It is one of the most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by, relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper definition of love. To some “Love is friendship set on fire” for others “Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it”. No matter how you define it or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.
You can only understand Love by knowing what it is not... because there is no way of knowing what it is.

Most people think that there are many different kinds of love, but this is not true. There is only one Love and that is unconditional Love. You hear people say they Love this or that when, what they really mean is like or they have great affection.
Take for instance your mother or father, many people will say they Love them, but this not true because this thing they think is Love is "CONDITIONED" and is therefor not Love.

Anything that has a condition has a beginning and ultimately an end... and Love has no end or beginning. Please be aware that not even your thoughts can touch Love because they too have an end and a beginning.

Love is akin to "TRUTH" in fact they are one and the same thing. When you have that thing that touches you inside is it a reminder, or recognition to that which is experienced from the outside. In other words what you see outside is also inside and you respond to it accordingly.

So in fact you actually are Truth... That's why it makes sense to Love all those you meet even if they don't like you, they can't help it because they have not realised the Truth.
It's a very difficult thing to put into words because words are so limited and Love has not limits... Hope this helps.
