LOVE LETTER: TAKE A WALK WITH ME

Would you like to take a walk with me?Just take my hand and leave with me to go outside where now it's winter time and we shiver and cuddle down inside our coats just a little further;and I hold your hand a little tighter and tuck your hand with mine into my coat pocket and pretend it's for warmth as I smile up at you, and we walk.Time passes by and we talk some,and laugh a lot and smile some and we sometimes just walk quietly a bit and listen to the silence between us speak volumes of caring and the enjoyment of "us". And I just look into your eyes, and see my smile to you mirrored back into mine.Soon we realize that so much time has gone by but it really was just an instant, wasn't it? Wasn't it!! Do we really have to turn around and go back? Will the time seem longer as we return? I pray it does, but no matter - we're here.When we return, we just smile and know how special that little bit of time was just you and me, smiling and laughing as we walked and shivered just a little in the cold but not feeling anything but the warmth between us as we walked along and just shared "you and me".If this could be, as I picture it here would you, Dear One, take a walk with me?Come, take my hand..just "you and me" 8-) I'd love for you to take a walk with me.

There are so many things I want to thank you for and when I think I have thought of them all, I suddenly think of more.So here is a list of some things, just a few to let you know a little, about what I think of you.I guess a good place to start is your lips, sweet and soft to the touch when pressed against mine no words are spoken, yet they say so much.Then we could go to your hands, that are so gentle and so kind.When you brush them against me, it sends chills down my spine..Continuing on with your heart, so sensitive yet so tough you always give me your time and understanding, when I need it so much.Then there are your ears, that listen to me every day no matter if I'm happy or crying, you hear what I have to say.Next there is your humor, and all your silly jokes.You can always make me smile or laugh, just when I need it the most.I must also mention your honesty, I know you'll never lie. You always make me so happy, it makes me want to cry.Now there is your patience with me, that seems to have no end and I love you for the fact that I can call you my best friend.Then there are your eyes, that can see deep within my heart. I know that we'll always be together, that we'll never have to part. I think you are so beautiful, in every little way.There is a million and one more things that I could still say.But I have one more thing that I will leave you withIt will just take some simple arithmetic...You + Me, and add in some 'Forever' and that = a lifetime we can share together

PERSONAL: CHANGING THE PICTURE IN MY HEAD

We all have individual goals and aspirations that we want to achieve at different points in our lives.

We each have certain milestones we expect to happen by a certain age; by the time we turn 18, we expect to graduate high school, go to college and have a degree by age 22.Some of us also have a set picture in our minds of what our lives should look like.

I expect to date and marry someone only if she has “X” common interests,  or comes from “X” cultural background. I also hope to live in “X” neighborhood and have “X” lifestyle. All I have to do next is take the necessary actions, and voila! All will fall into place… right?

Despite my best efforts, sometimes life doesn’t always go as anticipated and opportunities just don’t present themselves. Then I start thinking in “shoulds,” “musts” or “have tos.” For example, “I SHOULD have a family of my own by now; “I HAVE TO date someone who likes the same music as I do.” We place extra pressure on ourselves to make complete that image in our heads.
It’s pertinent to have an easygoing disposition because we have no idea what the future holds. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict it. Sometimes, surrendering to the unknown is our only option. Embarking on new territory can be frightening, but also freeing. We don’t always have control over what will happen to us or who will impact our lives, and that’s okay!

There are a million unexpected possibilities regarding what could go wrong. Perhaps a family member gets ill..or lime me..I got divorce. We all have experienced some type of obstacle or setback. Though these events may not be what you had predicted for your life, there is no use in feeling dejected or immobilized by them.

“It would be nice if I were in a relationship, but I am okay being single for now.” This is what I say to myself.. I notice I started to i became less rigid and less anxious. There’s no proof that my original assumptions about life would pan out, anyway. Who knows; the harsh realities of situations could lead to better circumstances and be more rewarding than your original dream. Changing the picture in my head isn’t settling or lowering your standards; it’s cutting myself some slack, rolling with the punches and being okay with plan B. It’s opening yourself up to a world of opportunity you never knew existed..like being in this site.I am opening my life new possibilities. Remember, “What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it’s supposed to be.”

PERSONAL: TO BE DESIRED

All the bruised lives, searching hearts...Everyone wants a love story but few will risk what it takes to live one.To have a caring and committed heart toward someone—a heart so firm in its devotion as to sooner stop beating than neglect the object of its desire despite the person's state of health, appearance, reputation, finances, troubles, or challenges—that, dear world, is love. It is a rare find. There is something beautiful about watching two people lovingly act silly together; behaving as though no one else existed.How we take it for granted – those trivial conversations; those mundane moments that we think hold no meaning. We never realise how much we rely on the ordinariness of everyday life. When love is gone – when our entire world is gone – only then do we understand those moments are what we live for


Sometimes you want to stay with someone, not only because it's magic and it's promising and it feels like home; but sometimes you find someone and you want to stay with her—because you're the same kind of animal.Then there are the simple things. The way she fits against my side when we’re sitting together. How she can silence my addled thoughts with one look. The sound of my name from her lips. The way she can make a moment, any moment, a thousands times better when she is there. How the simplest pleasures in life become exciting with the promise of sharing the experience with her.Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain—-thinking of moments you long for, and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love


When you finally meet the right one for you, it suddenly becomes clear why everyone else was so wrong.All relationships are tough. Just like with music, sometimes you have harmony and other times you have cacophony. We are not written for one instrument alone; I am not, neither are you. It’s so evident to me now that just because someone is a great woman doesn’t guarantee we’ll make a great couple, no matter how much I work at it and want it. I don't want words, as seductive, pleasant and warming as they can be. I want to see that I am  worth some sacrifice or some great deed. And it's not that people are always worth it, it's that love is.Love is . . . needing to be with this one person. No—it’s more like wanting to need to be with this one person. I remember my English professor long ago  once read us this great Robert Frost quotation that went something like, ‘Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.In neuroscience, the brain scans of people newly in love look a lot like the brain scans of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In each case, your dopamine is suppressing your serotonin

There comes a moment in life when one must acknowledge that you just can't keep looking back into your past for reasons to keep someone in your present and future. Regardless of how much looking that cruel reality in the eye hurts...memories can't be enough.You can never recover from losing a person you love, but you can find a way to let it be part of your life rather than letting it take over every part of you

PERSONAL: EVERY PERSON IS ATTRACTIVE

Every person is attractive to somebody. You are. I am. Jim Bob over there is, too. Every person is probably ugly to somebody, too. You are. I am. Jim Bob over there is, too. Don’t take it personally.

And, we all need to do ourselves a favor. We need to believe people when they tell us we’re beautiful, handsome, sexy, attractive, hot, or hunkalicious, especially when that someone is somebody that we think is beautiful, handsome, sexy, attractive, hot, or babealicious.

Because you know what? They probably really think so. They probably aren’t lying. They probably don’t give a damn that you don’t look like Pamela Anderson.

Being with you today is worth all the broken hearts of yesterday. In a flash, all of the stumbling blocks of relationships gone wrong have become the stepping stones to our perfect love.

We fit. I now understand the feeling I used to think was pain that came along with love was actually the discomfort from being in a place I didn’t fit.

Thank you for being you… for sharing your love with me… for inspiring me to accept myself… for helping me see the unique beauty in imperfection… for showing me that love is something you do; something not just to be said, but also to be shown.

I am not perfect; neither are you. I love that!

Our love is perfect. And even though we may not be, our love creates a bridge that spans over our imperfections and joins us where it matters.

I love you

PERSONAL: SOULMATE

Soul Mate

When we are born, the soul we are given is split apart and half of it is given to someone else. Throughout our lives, we search for the person with the other half of our soul. Very few ever succeed.

I am blessed that we have met. In a sudden moment, warm within your loving glare, my soul said, “At last! I can rest. I have found my missing half.” When this happens, it is said we have found our soul mate. We are happy and at peace. When we shared ourselves, we were engulfed in eternity, dancing in a timeless universe. I am truly blessed because that day, my heart recognized you as a part of its own.

Thank you for blessing me with you. Thank you for dreaming with me - for seeing the same future as I do. For your beautiful eyes, reminding me of the truest bliss in life. I am forever grateful for you.

I will spend an eternity loving you, caring for you, respecting you, showing you every day that I hold you as high as the stars.

I am sorry that it’s taken me this long to find you – I shall make it up to you, my flower, as long as we live.

I love you!

PERSONAL: IF YOU CLOSE YOUR MIND TO THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Single life is the best life until you get hit by lonely nights.Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. if anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear.Until we can receive with an open heart, we are never really giving with an open heart

If you close your mind to the endless possibilities of dreams yet to be fulfilled, and allow your heart to grow cold, merely due to the fear of it being broken yet again . . . When the time is right, how will one then be able to see you for you & accept you for all that you are?

You will not know from where, exactly when, or even how. When it comes to happiness, it is what it is! It will be there without any notice at all ~ If you open your eyes & seek out that strength within you to continue forever forward, will yourself to carry on & allow yourself to be vulnerable, imagine the possibilities!

The pale colors of the horizon just prior to that evening storm will suddenly appear brighter! And as you find yourself gazing upon the leaves dancing in a whirlwind with all the debris and foliage amongst the trees . . . in that single moment, it's almost as if you could actually hear the wind whispering to your soul 'Let me in, I'm wanting only to warm your heart.

A relationship is one of those things that builds upon itself, incident upon incident. Words and gestures and phrases pile up, and in the end, they either make something that's strong and pleasing, or they're a sort of ramshackle mess and you know it's time to walk away. To me....having a relationship with people of questionable character is like playing with a razor blade on your skin, and pretending to observe that it is harmful to your body.The search for the soul mate, the perfect partner to complete you, is a bit like searching for the perfect food when you’ve got a giant ulcer in your stomach. No matter what you find, it will never be good enough.And no relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater.

May the way I look at you, the way I speak with you, and the way I treat you reflect the truth that... I have loved you since forever

PERSONAL: WHY WOMAN DON'T WANT NICE GUYS: WANTS AND NEED

Most women go through life looking for love, and looking for someone to treat them like a queen. For some women finding real love seems to be something that will never happen. I believe that finding love is not as hard as people make it seem. The reason that some women can't find real love is because they look for more than just real love. A lot of women know what they need in a relationship, and thats for a man to love that woman with all of his heart, and to treat her real good. Most women have guys in their life or guys that try to get with them that could really love them and treat them real good. Those are usually the guys that get forced into that friend zone or rejected upfront. See those guys could give them what they need, but not what they want. “Wants” can be anything from a woman wanting a man to have certain materialistic things, or she could want him to look a certain way, those are a few examples of the things that some of them want, but they vary depending on the female. What some females don't understand is that none of the things that they want has anything with love or how that person will treat you. You could find a man that looks perfect, has a house and car, he can be a college graduate with a good job, and you could still end up being with a person that doesn't truly love you, and will treat you like shit. What I am trying to say is that the person who could treat you good and really love you could already be in your life, but you could have been blinded by the things you want in a man so you overlooked the person that you were really looking for. And by the way there are men that do the same thing; I just wanted to be clear on that

Real romance is not only about the love songs, the nice words or things that people do on special days to get you or impress you – it’s about a commitment of love. It’s being able to cook you a hot meal as often as necessary; cleaning up your puke at midnight and sitting at your side when you’re sick; going to an event that you don’t even like because your partner loves it; handling each other’s moods, their goals and desires and still being able to think they’re the best thing in the world


When it comes to love, your point of view, your imagination and your energy can carry you through anything. As you love, it will spill over to everyone and everything you encounter and beyond. There is no force imaginable that is more powerful than the act of love. Dear soulmate, Im gonna be a pretender the rest of my life. Pretending i dont wish every girl i kiss isnt you. Pretending i dont wish every girl i sleep with isnt you. Im gonna have to pretend i dont wish my next relationship wont be with you. Pretend that i dont wish the girl i get engaged to isnt you. Pretend i dont wish the girl i marry isnt you. Pretend i dont wish the mother of my kids to be you. Pretend its not you i want to spend the rest of my life with. Everything will be a lie the rest of my life. Thats so hard to accept

PERSONAL: EVERY HUMAN RELATIONSHIP BEGINS WITH A COINCIDENCE.

Every human relationship begins with a coincidence. Even the most fundamental relationship - that of parent and child - begins entirely with a coincidence. The child is produced by whatever serendipity brought its parents together, and the fact that the child was born to its particular parents instead of to another couple is pure happenstance. Thus, children have no choice over the relationship that is most important to their existence.By contrast, friends and lovers choose each other, but even these choices are reactions to whatever random coincidence made the resulting relationship possible

In this story.I am the poet.You're the poetry.Every person is a puzzle with a password. By solving the puzzle, the potential for emotional and physical intimacy is realized. Sensitive people like myself  are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them. They remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. I kept loving and loving and loving. Every waking hour, I marveled on how these moments would make made me feel. I wanted to love the world and be the change it so deliciously craved.Honesty is vulnerability. Sadly, not everyone can handle someone’s honesty. However, lying allows people to be comfortable


I was familiar with the little mating rituals of getting to know each other, of dragging out the stories from childhood, of having a portrait of yourself, all the while making yourself out to be a little brighter, a little more deep than deep down you knew you actually were. And though I hadn’t had more than three or four relationships, I already knew that each time the thrill of telling another the story of yourself wore off a little more, each time you threw yourself into it a little less, and grew more distrustful of an intimacy that always, in the end, failed to pass into true understanding. I am a nice guy and when a person thinks you are too good for them, they create a wall without even taking a chance. The best life that God has in store for a person is often thrown away because of what he or she thinks they deserve. True love is not the life you had, but the life you never realized you could have.For the woman who is meant for me..I love you with every little bit of everything that has ever consumed me and I will forever love you and forever find you in every life time and so on. Until the stars die out and the universe leaps but even then, my love will remain.Every broken piece of me fell on every broken piece of you and when I took the missing parts, like the emptiness of me I saw the emptiness of you and I poured my half upon you to fill you whole. I risked it all just to dream you complete and catch you one day free in the wild

PERSONAL: EVERY ROMANCE TURNS INTO A NEGOTIATION

I'd been around the block enough to know that sooner or later every romance turns into a negotiation. It's a matter of give and take. Give too little and you breed resentments, take too little and you start feeling used. How does a candlelight dinner stack up against changing the oil in her car? It is not your job to rearrange your whole life for someone you love when they won’t even try or give you a sign of their love in return. Love is proved by two people, not one. God might bring the right person into your life, but he can’t force them to meet you half way. He can only plant a whisper in their heart and a vision in their mind of a life they could have, if they have the courage to believe that there are no such things as coincidences.


Maybe that's what love is. Having someone who guides you through different experiences, coaxes you to try news things but still makes you feel safe.There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.My dear, if heaven is truly a place, then it is situated in your heart, that special place, that was reserved for me.The state of sharing a deep bond with a lover initiates changes in you, going far beyond the plain gift of what happens when you're together. Seeing that effect on myself every day, even during the times I was alone, I wanted to put a name to this special state when the loved one is not even near but still changes everything inside and around me, and I came up with these few words – having been granted the authorization to wait!


Let us find someone who will never break our heart, who will always be there for us, who will make us happy all the time, who will respect, love and cherish us in everything, and we can't go far in the search because such personality is within us, not in the world we are living now! i know there are thousands  of woman out there who are looking for someone like me, why should I get upset with those who doesn't deserve me and my love? When I give, it does not come with strings. I’m not keeping track of what you owe me. When I give, I choose to do so without ulterior motives. I give because I know what it’s like to be without. To long for and be ignored; to speak and not be heard; to care for and have nothing returned. When I give it’s because I know the value in what I have in my heart. And I refuse to let the world stop me from sharing that, But when things start being taken for granted, When you no longer appreciate my sincerity, I won’t switch, I won’t get angry, and I won’t be spiteful. I’ll just get smart, and change your role in my life. Because when I give, I’m all in. But when I’m done, there’s no turning back.

PERSONAL: HARDLY EVER WAKE UP TO NEXT TO ANYONE ANYMORE

For a while, I thought I might be in a love story, but I hardly ever wake up next to anyone anymore. It still happens once in a while. When it does, the first thing I do, doesn't matter where I am, in the ocean, on the moon of some minor distant planet, doesn't matter where, doesn't matter if she knows who I am of if I know who she is or how strong gravity is or if I feel terrible or if the world is logically impossible, the first thing I do if she's there, is I tell her how nice it is to see her.It’s hard to have a relationship in this world. Other people are not the same from day to day. I might wake up next to a woman three days in a row, or three hundred, but I never know if she’ll be there the next morning, or the next hour, or if the world will change completely while I’m not looking. She might even change into another person altogether. I might recognize something in her eyes, or she might not be a woman at all. She might turn into a man. Or a mailbox. Or a region of empty space. Or a feeling. Or a song. I might only recognize her as one recognizes someone in a dream, as in the way something is actually someone, and that someone is actually someone else.

I hope you read this, whoever you are, and imagine that there is a hypothetical person out there who needs your love, has been waiting silently, patiently for it all his life, is flawed and downright ugly at times and yet would have just eaten up any tiny bit of affection you had been willing to give, had you ever stopped your own happy life to notice. And then imagine that this hypothetical person is real, because he probably is.... Wish I’d met you.


Sometimes I feel like relationships consist of telling your same life stories to different people until someone finally appreciates them. I thought about the cast of The Wizard of Oz on the yellow brick road and wondered which character I was. Perhaps the Tin Man, in search of a red, pulsating heart. Or at least someone to give it to. That chain of relationships made me think of how connections are made--you read a book, you meet a person, you have a single experience, and your life is changed in some way. No act, therefore, however small, should be dismissed or ignored.

The dating world makes me feel incredibly vulnerable. You put yourself out there earnestly as available only to encounter some of the most disingenuous people. There seems to be no formula. Just a boat load of anxiety. Did I do this right? Will he call? If I just say I like him, will it backfire because he will know he doesn't have to earn my time and attention anymore? How do people do this......Seriously.....how?

POETRY: MY LIPS TOUCH YOURS

My heart was cold, my soul was empty,
I felt no reason to go on.
Then I met you and you showed me
what love really was.
You took my heart and I was yours
to have and to hold forever.
You'll always be with me in my heart
my love will never end.
Now matter how long we are apart
I'll be here waiting.
My love for you goes on and on
through good times and bad.
You are my heart, my soul, my everything.

2

Were my lips to touch yours, would my heart love you more?  
I think not.
Though, we have not kissed, I am spellbound in your trance.
I live each day, to make you smile.

It's, then, that I am rewarded, with the greatest of gifts.
'Cause when you smile, and laugh with me,
I realize, how life was meant to be.
And how special a look from your eyes is.

You do nothing, and own my soul.
For my heart is yours forever.
If, by chance, you never feel my love
Just remember how I opened my chest for you,
To give you, my every breath.


3


Out of the darkness, there lies a soul crying out my name.
A being so loving & kind, I wish to know more about her.

Your hair has the sweetest fragrance to it,
Your lips are left with the signature of red wine,
Your eyes, without a doubt, shine as sparking rare jewels.

Our love together is special & rather unique like no other,
When we are together you make my heart race
And you quiet my voice with your passionate kisses.
You treat me so gentle and are so willing to help me along love's path.

I whisper in your ears these five special words,
"I Will Love You, ALWAYS!"



4

I see my name on your lips,
feel your touch on my flesh...
tell me how it is to love me,
how it is to taste me.

To die
hearing my sigh
inside you.




5


Once I saw you for the first time
I knew that my heart and soul
Belonged to you.

Even though we have never met
I believe that someday, somehow
Our hearts will be joined as one.

I know to some people this may sound strange
To love someone you have never met
But when I first looked into your eyes
I could not help but fall in love with you.

There is never a day goes by
that I'm not thinking of you
Even in my dreams I see you with me
For this is how I know we are...
Meant to be.

Dark somber sky in a
    lovers dawning
Among the blue blackness
    of a stormy occasion
Night closing in; the starlight
    reflections
On a window pane
From a blue light; stars
    against dark gray curtains
A rainy day
         and love...

A blue evening; a special
    note
A day of special times
    in the grayness
Diamond bright stars
    glittering
Reflecting, in the window
    pane
A message of hope; radiance
Eternal love
Three bright diamond stars
    glittering
A blue evening
          and love...

FROM A FAN: GOOD PUSSY

Why always need pussy, and never have? It Is Very Serious problem.Don't you think. This is more important than anything like job, money, material things, don't you think.if you only feel at home when you have pussy. Does that mean without one you will never feel home at peace again.

What if you never have pussy again. What if last one you had was your last, what are you going to do. Why don't you seem that concerned about it. If you need vaginal to feel at home, happy, at peace and healthy and chances you will get one with whatever you've been doing is grim, what next?!Don't you think finding pussy, should be your top priority. When starting education and career you need to invest all time, energy,  and money into studying, making connections, paying school. If you had hard exam you didn't go out night before and do tequila shots, that would be dumb because you need to invest in education not bars and fun. in college your priority was getting good degree, and you did it. Why aren't you doing everything you possibly can to get pussy.  Why not invest everything you have, time, money, energy into getting pussy. If so important to you.

  And what of there is no more too grade A pussy left? The Harvard,  Yales, and Oxford of pussy is gone. Absolutely none left. Maybe there is a 2 percent chance a good one, will be widowed or divorced because husband was gay or something. But there is a waiting list of ducks for that 2 percent,  they invested time, and money to be on that list. You can't just hop on list, if you weren't already there and invested yourself onto list.When applying to universities you had number one pick, than two and then three.

Maybe is time to realize you can't get Harvard pussy anymore because there is none left, you didn't get accepted. And go on to next tier. There is a HUGE difference between settling and being aware of what you can get. Don't be in fantasyland and think you are going to get top grade A pussy,  people that think they deserve more than they actually do, usually end up with nothing at all.

   Put your best self out there, be humble, kind, generous, don't complain or be lazy and you will find yourself a nice grade B pussy, Virginia Tech of pussy. And move on it, because if you don't the Virginia Tech will be gone also. And you will be stuck with the Nassau community college grade D pussy. Sounds scary doesn't it.


You would probably not have thought my pussy was so amazing anyway. don't think you're missing out on something super great.I would have been the girl you would be talking about to the next girl saying I waited and I wanted this for such a long time and it was not even that great. I would have been your post marriage Vegas girl.sometimes we are just curious about someone else love, a better love, a different or more pure love.there is that feeling especially after painful marriage with sex that is especially bad because we kinda sense that our spouse doesn't really love us or love or bodies so much.There is this desire in us that wants something tasty. It is like eating entermen's Madeline cookies. Okay, but not the real deal. You might tell yourself just once I want to taste a real french Madeline cookie in parisAfter loving and not being loved you tell yourself just once i want to know what it feels like to be purely loved and purely desired. To lay in my bed and have someone lay on top of me like a blanket and look up into their eyes and see pure love.

PERSONAL: I BELIEVE TODAY MIGHT BE THE DAY THAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY MET THE ONE

I believe today might be the day that I might actually met the one for me. Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone. I am looking to settle down because..marriage to me is those two thousand indistinguishable conversations, chatted over two thousand indistuinguishable breakfasts, where intimacy turns like a slow wheel. How do you measure the worth of becoming that familiar to somebody—so utterly well known and so thoroughly ever-present that you become an almost invisible necessity, like air. You know ..relationship aren't hard. It becomes hard work once you have poured the entirety of your life’s expectations for happiness into the hands of one mere person. Keeping that going is hard work.

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.” I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. Let our scars fall in love.

To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because she was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope.This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw boy. he's up! I don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly...I lead the way!

What am I looking for?  Someone real, someone who never has to pretend, and who I never have to pretend around. Someone who's smart, but knows how to laugh at herself. Someone who would listen to a symphony and start to cry, because she understands music can be too big for words. Someone who knows me better than I know myself. Someone I want to talk to first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Someone I feel like I've known my whole life, even if I haven't.When you love someone, you don't see parts of her you don't like.


When I was a kid, I had this puzzle with all fifty states on it--you know, the kind where you have to fit them all together. And one day I got it in my head that California and Nevada were in love. I told my mom, and she had no idea what I was talking about. I ran and got those two pieces and showed it to her--California and Nevada, completely in love. So a lot of the time when i was in a relationship it was like this"--my ankles against the backs of your ankles, my knees fitting into the backs of your knees, my thighs on the backs of your legs, my stomach against your back, my chin folding into your neck--"I can't help but think about California and Nevada, and how we're a lot like them. If someone were drawing us from above as a map. that's what we'd look like; that's how we are.Trying to write about love is ultimately like trying to have a dictionary represent life. No matter how many words there are, there will never be enough.  When it’s going well, the fact of it is everywhere. It’s there in the song that shuffles into your ears. It’s there in the book you’re reading. It’s there on the shelves of the store as you reach for a towel and forget about the towel. It’s there as you open the door. As you stare off into the subway, it’s what you’re looking at. You wear it on the inside of your hat. It lines your pockets. It’s the temperature.The hitch, of course, it that when it’s going badly, it’s in all the same places

PERSONAL: DO YOU BELIEVE IN FATE?

Do u believe in fate? Do u believe in true love?A voice tells me I am a messenger sent from above...the one who is destined to pour the joy of love all over your soul...With no regret nor asking for anything back... it's just part of my life...part of my fate.We both have been in love before...in different dimensions...uncertain if the love I pursued was true until I met you.
I entered your world...don't know what lies ahead of me.Maybe it's pain, maybe it's sorrow...even with a slim chance of getting a forever happiness...I am willing to try. You redefined my view about love...The true love you can only read in fairy tales Do u believe in fate? Do u believe in true love?I know I do...and my fate is to show the true love to you

I used to think that finding the right one was about the woman having a list of certain qualities. If she has them, we'd be compatible and happy. Sort of a checkmark system that was a complete failure. But I found out that a healthy relationship isn't so much about sense of humor or intelligence or attractive. It's about avoiding partners with harmful traits and personality types. And then it's about being with a good person. A good person on her own, and a good person with you. Where the space between you feels uncomplicated and happy. A good relationship is where things just work. They work because, whatever the list of qualities, whatever the reason, you happen to be really, really good together.It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.Maybe we all just want to feel special, even for a little while, to be fooled for a bit into feeling something besides the truth of our own ordinariness. I no longer have the energy for meaningless dates, forced interactions or unnecessary conversations. If we don’t vibrate on the same frequency there’s just no reason for us to waste our time. I’d rather have no one and wait for substance than to not feel someone and fake the funk

I had always had a little problem looking out for myself in love.So I put up with bad behavior in the name of loving the way I thought you were supposed to love. I was afraid people would leave me. So I sort of clung and did everything possible to keep someone around. I didn't have a hard talk with myself about who I was keeping around. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. I clung to people like human life preservers. I thought i'd die if someone left me. Its ironic because now I'm the one who's leaving.But, finally, I had to open my eyes. The truth, thankfully, is insistent. I had to see people for who they were. I had to understand why I made the choices I did. Why I had given them my loyalty. I had to make changed. I had to stop allowing love to be dangerous. I had to learn how to protect myself. But first… I had to look. Maybe I was being too picky. Maybe I didn't want to be close to anyone. Maybe I'd just be the type who couldn't feel love all the way or something. I couldn't tell what was wrong, but what was wrong was that it just wasn't right

Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take..There is no formula to relationships. They have to be negotiated in loving ways, with room for both parties, what they want and what they need, what they can do and what their life is like. In business, people negotiate to win. They negotiate to get what they want. Maybe you’re too used to that. Love is different. Love is when you are as concerned about someone else’s situation as you are about your own.Between hello and goodbye is I love you


POETRY: UNBREAKABLE

1

The way I fit in your arms,
The way you cause me no alarm
Your eyes have me in a daze
I want to stay like this alwayz
The way your lips are so soft
They make my body feel aloft
I love the way you hold me tight
Everyday and through the night
To be with you is a dream come true
And I mean it when I say
"I love you too."

I write about so many things
What my mind tells me to
What my heart shows me to

I write not just in words
But motion of words
Like a wave splashing to sandy beaches.

Like the wind that surrounds us
Like every beat of my heart
With every feeling it let out

I write what my heart and mind feels
What my dreams see
The hurt, sadness, happiness and love.

I write while I am dreaming
While my thoughts are flying
My mind exploring.
 
I write in simple gestures of what I feel
What I believe
What my emotions express

i was lost and lonely
waiting for someone to find me
then you took me out of the cold 
into yourself
to the warmth of your arms
your love rules my heart

like a precious jewel in the world 
i'm lovesick, 
hold me now
join me to yourself
you are the love that completes me
 
i want to spend my life loving you

come, let's ride the night
let's touch the sky
let's soar like eagles
and kiss the moonlight
'cos many waters cannot quench love
neither can floods drown it

you are the smile that never fades
the bliss that never wanes
the light that shines in my darkness
welcome me close to yourheart
make us one
UNBREAKABLE we will remain

I asked 12 men over 60 what they miss most about their 40s and not one of them said their career, their body, or their social life — every single one described a moment so specific and so small that I had to pull over to write them down by Tommy Baker

You know what I miss? The sound of the garage door when she’d get home from her pottery class on Thursday nights.” That’s what Frank told m...
