But until forever is here, until a lifetime is lived, and until eternity gives me a chance to say everything, I will hold you in my heart more gently than any feelings. I will feel blessed by your presence more than you will ever know. I love having you in my life and I'd love to go on loving you forever.
Life is a lot like swimming. You can swim hard and strong and push yourself to great lengths. You can paddle and leisurely enjoy yourself for a while. Or you can just float and let yourself be brought to where the current might bring you.
And we are swimmers... different kinds of swimmers. The folks who swim on competitions usually have a lot of rewards for themselves. They go far and they sacrifice everything to attain those medals. They are at the top...for a while but eventually some new breed of swimmers come along and take the place of the old ones.
Then there are the recreational swimmers who are good but he is not out for rewards. Their goal is just to enjoy themselves. They like other swimmers. They make themselves stay afloat and paddle until they are tired and then then give up and stop. They know that swimming is dangerous and the moment that you get into deep water and stop stroking to stay afloat, you are not only in danger, you are going to drown.
And then you have the floaters. They may never learn to swim well, or to even be a good recreational swimmer, but they do know the one thing they have to do...they have to stay on top of the water because the moment they quit floating they are dead ducks so to speak. Yes, they too have learned that being in that wonderfully cool and blissful water requires effort.
There are times when the water is placid and calm and there will be times when the water will become rough... dangerous even for the most skilled swimmers. Sometimes we find ourselves going under...sinking fast. What then? Sometimes we flail around and manage to get stay afloat. Yet other times we would surely drown if someone was not there to throw us a life jacket...to pull us through and to help us.
Sometimes other swimmers help, sometimes you manage to get out alone. But for me, I want to cling to the life guard... the life preserver that I am sure will always be there.
I have faith in God that no matter what I know I can count on Him... that no matter in what kind of water we swim into, we would definitely stay afloat.
When men fall in love, they fall hard. Men may often get stereotyped as single-minded and sex-seekers but the truth is that a man's stomach churns like a slushy machine when he's in those initial stages of a perfect relationship.
After ruling out the obvious intangible laws of chemistry, attraction, and being in the right place at the right time;
WHAT MAKES A MAN FALL AND STAY IN LOVE?
WHAT KIND OF A WOMAN DO MEN LIKE?
WHAT QUALITIES DO MEN LOOK FOR IN A WOMAN FOR THEM TO CONSIDER HER "THE ONE"?
It is said that soul mates have known each other in past lives and will know each other in future lives. But sometimes your paths may not cross. And although the two of you are destined to be with one another, your meeting may be delayed, postponed, perhaps much later in life.
When you do meet your soul mate, the two of you will know instantly. The chemistry... the feeling... the easy conversation will be there. As you look into each other's eyes, you will know. You will have the feeling you've known this person before. And maybe it is true that you have known this person before.
I do believe that soul mates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not.
"FATE BRINGS YOU TOGETHER, BUT IT IS STILL UP TO YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN."
How about you, do you believe that soul mates do exist? that there is one for everybody? How would you know if that person was meant to be with you?
Once upon a time, on a tiny island, lives many different abstract people: Love, Sadness, Wealth, Beauty, Happiness..and many others. And They live peacefully with each other.
One day, a big storm came out of nowhere to the island and the water from the sea rise up and eventually will sink that tiny island. All the people in the island was in a hurry, trying to save their lives. Love was so confused because she can't swim nor she had a boat. She stands close to the beach looking for someone to help her. meanwhile, the water rised rapidly, beginning to reach her legs.
Not long, Love saw Wealth rowing his boat. "Wealth! Wealth! help me!", Love Shouted.. "uuhh... I am sorry.. Love!",Wealthy said.. "my boat are full with my possesion. I can't take you along, this boat might sink. Besides, there's no room for you in here". Wealth rowed his boat fast and disappear. Love was so sad, but then she saw Happiness passed with his boat. "Happiness!! help me!!", Love shouted.. But Happiness was very happy because he found his boat and in return he couldn't hear Love calling his name. meanwhile, the water rised higher, reaching to Love's waist...
Not long, Beauty passed by.. "Beauty! take me with you!", Love shouted. Beauty replied: "ohh..Love, you're wet and dirty. I can't take you along. you might ruined my beautiful boat". Love was very distressed and began to cry.. Then, came Sadness... "Oh, Sadness..please take me with you!", Love shouted.. "Sorry, Love.. I am very sad right now. I want to be alone..." Sadness replied while kept on rowing his boat away from Love.. Love was getting desperate for the water was up to her neck.
In that crucial moment, Love heard a voice: "Love!! come here quick! up to my boat!" Love turned her head toward the voice and saw a very old man with his boat. In a hurry, Love climbed up to the boat, just in time before she was totally drown by the water.
The old man rowed his boat to the nearest island, and after Love thanked him and jumped out from the boat, he quickly left.
At that time, Love realized that she didn't know who that old man was. Immediately, Love found a lady who live in that island and asked who that old man was. "ooh, that old man?..... His name is Time", She replied. "but, why did he save me? I didn't know him.. even my friends who knew me, wouldn't help me", Love muttered.
Then the lady said: "Because only Time understands how valuable Love is"...
i have loved you since the time i realized i had feelings for you. in you i found the person whom i want to love for the rest of my life.
i have missed you every single day of my life...longing for your sweet embrace... your gentle kiss...
i had often wondered if i will get to spend my whole life with you before my hair turns gray... take care of you... cook your breakfast.... prepare your lunch and dinner as well...
i was afraid that it could never happen because of the barriers we have between us, yet i still have high hopes. i waited and will wait...yet sometimes i wanted to give up and not prolong the agony of longing for your presence.
sometimes, i was in doubt if i would be a great wife, a partner and a friend to you... If i would be capable of taking care of you... if i would be worthy of your love.
i love you and the love becomes deeper as the days pass by. i remember i started saying it through my short notes...hoping i could express more of my undying love for you. i try not to be obvious though, because you might leave me or get tired of me for loving you too much. you might find a lot of reasons in the world to turn your back on me which can be so cliche at times.
through this letter you will then find out how much more i wanted to give,not in kind, but more of myself. i have always been prepared to adjust, to please and to love you unconditionally. just always remember that I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH....
