Being In Love With You

Being in love with you is like being in a tornado, 
Where you cannot stop it, so you hold on and enjoy,
Wondering how soon it will toss you into Forever-land.

Being in love with you is joyous, and wonderful.
You turn my way, and I see the way you look at me.
Like a man who has received a five hundred dollar bonus.

Being in love with you is as lovely as painting twilight with
Magic paints that twinkle and glimmer with purpose, love, and truth.

Being in love with you keeps me half mad with lust. When I look
Into your eyes, I do not see my seasoned husband, I see the seventeen
Year old who thought up all kinds of tricks to entice me to marry him.

Being in love with you is the first thought I have in the morning and 
The first thought I have in the evening. 

If that ever changes, I will be honest enough to let you know and let
You go, so someone else has the opportunity to be in love with you.
I would never want to keep you from her, for I love you that much, my love.

Paradise is loving you, and this includes wanting you to always have bliss
Even if the bliss does not include me, 
as I know you would selflessly honor me by wanting the 
Same courtesy for me.  
All the best, my Valentine. 
I am so glad we both found our soulmate.

CayCay Godwin January 26, 2019 at 1:02 PM Oh, to love selflessly from a joyous, fulfilled heart is to write a flowing declaration such as this. That you know and live romantic love is apparent in each sentiment expressed. You express this blessing tied in love-hued ribbons. All the best ...

Brandy Nicole January 25, 2019 at 10:14 PM Oh my!!! This is the definition of True Love!! To love someone this much, that you would let them go. Your thoughts express how much in love you truly are, and I feel he loves you more than words. This is so beautiful and romantic. ~ Brandy Caren Krutsinger January 26, 2019 at 1:16 AM Brandy, he is nuts about me, and has been since he was trying to lure me to the back of his parents' store with candy when I was four. Naturally my twin and I both went where we were amazed to see toys and bunk beds!
