How many times do I love thee, dear?
tell me how many thoughts there be
In the atmosphere
Of a new fall'n year.
Whose white and sable hours appear
The latest flake of Eternity:-
So many times do I love thee, dear.

How many times do I love again?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star-
So many times do I love again.

Once in a while

someone comes along,

someone who just naturally

makes everyone feel a little happier,

a little more alive to life.

You've been that someone to me.

You've given me a new perspective

on lot of things-including myself.

There are things you've said to me

I'll always remember

and ways you have helped me

I'll never forget .

The times we spent together

are always good times

that leave me looking forward

to the next time.

So thanks for being

the wonderful person you are.

You are an inspirations to me,

and I'm very glad and grateful

that you have come into my life.

New Faces

I have leared npt to worry about love;

but to honor its coming

with all my heart .

To examine the dark mysteries

of the blood

with headless heed and swirl,

to know the rush of feelings

swift and flowing

as water.

The source appears to be

some inexhaustible spring

within our twin and triple selves;

the new face i turn up to you

no one else on earth has ever seen

~Alice Walker

When the winds of change comes,

stirring things up in our lives,

friendship is what steadies us.

And you are steadied me time and again

You have helped me find a peaceful state

of mind just by being there, by listening

and assuring me that this, too will pass.

You have hung in their with me when things have

come up that took time away from our friendship.

You have not judged me when i have gotten slightly off course, and you have celebrated with me when things were set right again.

Though we don't always know what's going to happen tomorrow, it feels good to know one thing

for sure.. we will always be there for each other , we will always be friends..

Your My Love and My Best Friend

and the friendship we share

make the love and the romance

between us mean even more to me.

Our relationship is so much richer and more fulfilling, and I feel a special peace and comfort

when I'm with you .

It's like you soothe my soul

as well as excite me in so many ways.

I always wanted to be friends with the person

I fell in love with.

I always felt that was important somehow,

and now i know why....

I always felt that was important to somehow, and now I know why.

Knowing that you are there for me to lean on whenever I have a problems...

and kmowing I can do the same for you .... makes me feel incredibly lucky.

I know that not every couple feels such deep friendship for each other......

And it fills my heart with even more love for you to know that we share

something so special to the heart and sole..

Sometimes when I look at you

I can hardly believe you are mine,

I think about how attractive you are,

how caring and sensitive,

how interesting and funny,

and I can hardly believe

that out of this whole world of people,

I was lucky enough to find you.

Sometimes when I look at you,

I remember what it was like

in the beginning,

when we just getting

to know each other.

I will never forget

the nervous excitement

I used to feel every time I saw you...

and I smile every time

I relive the tenderness

of our very first kiss.

Sometimes when I look at you,

I get lost in memories

of special times we have shared,

in daydreams of happiness

we have yet to discover together.

Every time I look at you,

I realize how much I love

the love we share

and how very much I love you..

It Must be Love

It must be love.....
because I cant stop
thinking about you.
You're always on my mind,
and i want to keep you there
so I can look at you. , see your smile,
watch you do the things you enjoy.

It must be love............
because no matter how much time
we spend together.
Being with you feels so good
that I find myself missing you
even before we say good - bye.

It must be love....
because when we are alone together,
you take me to a place
I've never been before,
and yet it feels like home.

It must be love...........
because I know without a doubt
that I could never feel
as close to anyone
as I do to you

It must be love .

It must be you my love..
