Come back to me

 

In the realm of heartfelt whispers and tender dreams,

Where emotions dance on silken moonbeams, There resides a love story, pure and true, Between two souls, Tate, and the essence of you.

With every word spoken and every touch shared, A symphony of affection, beyond compare, Your presence, a balm to my restless soul, A tapestry of love that makes me whole.

Oh, Tate, how your absence weighs heavy on my chest, Like a moonless night longing for a luminous crest, Each passing day without you feels incomplete, As if my spirit lingers in a world incomplete.

In the depths of longing, my heart finds solace, For it knows our connection transcends any chalice, Distance may separate us for a fleeting while, But our love persists, an unwavering smile.

Through the windswept fields and starlit nights, I yearn for your touch, your warmth, your light, The melody of your laughter, like a sweet serenade, Filling my world, bringing serenity unafraid.

The memories we've woven, a delicate tapestry, Etched in the depths of my being so gracefully, The way your eyes sparkle, your gentle caress, These fragments of you, in my soul, they coalesce.

For in your presence, Tate, I find sanctuary, A haven of love that surpasses the ordinary, Your essence seeps into the very core of my being, A love so profound, it feels like I'm dreaming.

So, hear these words, carried on whispers divine, Across the vast expanse of space and time, My darling, know that you're missed more than words can say, In your arms, my love, is where I long to stay.

For you are the compass that guides me true, The heartbeat that makes each day anew, Tate, my love, my soul's eternal plea, Come back to me, for without you, I am not me.

I am sorry.

In your eyes, I see disappointment,

A flicker of pain, my heart's torment.

I stumble and falter, but with a love so true,

That even my imperfections can't undo.

I apologize for the mistakes I've made,

For the times I faltered, and lost my way.

But my love for you, it knows no end,

Like an eternal flame, it will always transcend.

In your grace, I find solace and peace,

A haven where my flaws find release.

Please forgive me, my love, for my shortcomings,

Know that my love for you keeps on humming.

No matter the errors, big or small,

My love for you will never fall.

For in your heart, I see forgiveness and trust,

And it's in your love, I find my truest crust.

Beyond measure.

 Love is a symphony of emotions, a dance of souls entwined. In my life, I am blessed with a girlfriend who goes above and beyond, painting vibrant hues on the canvas of our relationship. With every gesture, she fills my days with joy, and my heart overflows with gratitude. Today, I want to express my appreciation for the incredible woman who has captured my heart.

From the very beginning, she swept me off my feet with her kindness and compassion. She listens attentively, lending me her unwavering support through every triumph and trial. Her words of encouragement are like a gentle breeze, lifting me up when I feel lost. With her unwavering faith in my dreams, she empowers me to reach for the stars.

Her love is a tapestry of selflessness and generosity. She goes the extra mile to make me smile, surprising me with little gestures that melt my heart. Whether it's preparing my favorite meal or leaving sweet notes tucked away for me to find, she showers me with love in the simplest yet most profound ways. Her thoughtfulness knows no bounds, reminding me daily of how blessed I am to have her by my side.

In moments of doubt or despair, she becomes my guiding light. Her unwavering belief in me ignites a fire within my soul, inspiring me to overcome any obstacle. With her unwavering faith and gentle touch, she helps me see the beauty in life's challenges and encourages me to grow.

To my love, my guiding star,

You shine brighter than the sun afar.

With grace and love, you touch my soul,

Making me feel complete and whole.

Your kindness knows no limits or bounds,

In your presence, happiness abounds.

You go above and beyond, my dear,

Filling my days with laughter and cheer.

In your embrace, I find solace and peace,

A sanctuary where my worries cease.

Your love is a gift, so pure and true,

I'm grateful every day for the love we grew.

With you, I am blessed beyond measure,

Our love I'll forever treasure.

Thank you, my love, for all that you do,

For being the one who makes dreams come true.

To have a girlfriend who goes above and beyond is a blessing beyond compare. Her love illuminates my path, and her presence fills my days with joy. Today, I celebrate and express my heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary woman who enriches my life. May our love continue to bloom, and may we forever cherish the bond we share.

What is love?

 To love is to share life together,

to build special plans just for two,

to work side by side,

and then smile with pride,

as one by one, dreams all come true.

To love is to help and encourage

with smiles and sincere words of praise,

to take time to share,

to listen and care

in tender, affectionate ways.

To love is to have someone special,

one on whom you can always depend

to be there through the years,

sharing laughter and tears,

as a partner, a lover, a friend.

To love is to make special memories

of moments you love to recall,

of all the good things

that sharing life brings.

Love is the greatest of all.

I've learned the full meaning

of sharing and caring

and having my dreams all come true;

I've learned the full meaning

of being in love

by being and loving with you.

Forever and always

 Forever and always. Forever and another day is how long I want to spend loving you.

If I thought for just one moment that this would be my last breath,

I'd tell you I'll love you forever, even beyond death.

If I thought for just one moment that your face would be the last I'd see,

I'd take a million pictures and save them just for me.

If I thought for just one moment that your voice would be the last I'd hear,

I'd listen attentively and promise not to shed a tear.

If I thought for just one moment that your touch would be the last I'd feel,

I'd embrace you and know that this has all been real.

If I thought for just one moment that my heart would beat its last beat,

I'd thank the Lord for allowing us to meet.

I am imperfect.

 I am not perfect. I can never be perfect. I am flawed. Deeply flawed. I am broken but I am a work in progress for I am healing myself and in turn, I am trying to heal those I have hurt. Mainly my woman. There are times I have made her fell less of a queen, loved her less, cares for her less than I should have. But in all those instances, she has remained the one thing I love and adore. If ever there shall come a time when she shall walk out the door, I shall not force issues. I sometimes don't know Where I have wronged her but I try and make amends for my wrongs.... All said and done. She is my love and my destiny. No one will ever love her like I will. Even with all my faults. 

Anyone can tell you they love you.

Anyone can flatter you and tell you you're beautiful.

Anyone can make you smile and happy.

Anyone can promise you the world

And the stars and the finest things of life.

But I don't want to be anyone; I want to be the one,

The one who makes you wake up smiling,

The one who makes you walk down the street knowing someone loves you,

The one to bring heaven on Earth for you,

The reason for your joy and happiness.

You are my love,

You are my friend, my lady,

And one day the mother of my children.

In you I have seen my future,

And in the glow of your eyes and your smile

I know that I found my soulmate.

I love you, baby.

My love.

 Oh the way this woman loves me 'Sometimes' I say sometimes because there are days when she makes me feel unloved and it is no fault of hers. I have not been the best of gentlemen in the past and our pasts always follow us wherever we are but we try our best even in living lives of penance that we right our wrongs as much as we can. 

You showed me love that's so true,

Gave me comfort to believe in you.

You stayed beside me and held my hand,

Taught me in hard times you're always there to understand.

To me you never gave up.

Even in pain, with me you always stuck.

In dark and in lonely times

You were there to show that your love shines.

You told me that with me nothing else matter.

With that, it made me feel so much better.

You endure pain only for me.

True love you made me see.

You told me that you'll stay forever.

I promise I'll always be with you and never say never.

I mean these words from the bottom of my heart.

I'll always love you even if we're apart.

Please hear these words that I meant so true.

I'll always be loving and thanking you.

When I am without her.

 Bill Withers wrote a song back in the day saying that there ain't no sunshine when she is gone, only darkness.... I resonate with the words in his song for I am at a place where I am lost when she is gone. I go nuts, nothing makes much sense whenever she isn't in my day, when I can't reach her or when she is mad at me for some hormonal reason....

When I am without her,

the sun doesn't shine as brightly.

When I am without her,

the clouds are dark and foreboding.

When I am without her,

the birds don't sing as sweetly.                       

When I am without her,

the walls close in on me.

When I am without her,

in the depths of my hell, whispering her name sustains me.

But when I am with her,

she lifts me up.

When I am with her,

I have the strength to move mountains.

When I am with her,

I can withstand anything.

When I am with her,

her smile warms my very soul.

When I am with her,

the angels sing her name.

When I am with her,

I fall in love all over again. 

For she is my queen, my lifeline, my saving grace. 

My vow renewed

 I’ll date you because I choose to. I will desire you with every dawn and I will desire you with every dusk. I will date you because you make me laugh, because despite your flaws and your temperaments, my heart feels safe within your hands. I will date you and I will pay no mind to the alternative, I will turn a blind eye to the people who stare because my gaze was made for your gaze. In this generation option creeps into relationships like a dangerous siren, but I will never be swayed by its song, for when I date you, I will date only you.

I will date you in a forgetful way. I wont be able to recall the time you were born, or your mothers middle name. I will forget mini anniversaries, I will forget appointments. However, I will never forget the way you looked when you told me you loved me for the first time. I will never forget the way you smell, the colour of the freckles in your eyes. I will always remember what makes your heart race, the moments of smaller magic that bang and clash against your ribcage when my head rests on your chest. I will immortalize you in my fingertips; I will never forget the way you make me feel.

I will date you outside of social media. I will hold your hand, I will kiss your soft mouth, I will be your biggest fan, and that will exist between you and I. Two people, unfiltered, completely unedited, simply loving each other without validation. I wont need a certain amount of likes to know that I admire you, I wont need a specific number of views to understand that I could watch you all day. Our relationship will be one that is incubated within the confines of our inside jokes, our humorous memories, our deep connection – it will never be subjected to a 4×4 square; it will never be two-dimensional.

You will not be my mcm, my wcw, or my bae. You will be my heart. You will be my home. I will not post my love for you on your Facebook wall, I will not take photos to prove to the world how much I adore the way your hair feels in the morning, or how you can never keep a straight face when you see someone fall. There will be no public evidence of our infatuation, but I will love you deeply in the most beautiful places. I will kiss you in your favourite bakery; I will brush your cheek with every tree that lines the most darling streets. We will create memories in the world, not for it. We will see our relationship dotted across the town like Christmas lights.

Most importantly, I will date you in the image of tenacity. I will endure for you, even when we fall on hard times, even when we struggle. I will not flee or abandon you when we disagree, I will not sleep within foreign arms when I feel hurt. I promise that when I date you, I will fight for you. I will fight for the beauty in which our hearts have felt, and though it will be difficult at times, like worthy things are, I will believe in you – I will believe in us....

Journey to love.

I don't know how it is, I don't know how it became, I don't know anything. At this point, all I know is that I am in love. I am in love with this woman... I could narrate and say that it is a fairy tale, that she is a perfect princess, that she is flawless and that ours is a match made in heaven and it is a happily ever after tale. But that would be a pen and paper tale. One that is not only a cliche for books but one that is false. 

The truth, the unvarnished truth is that she is perfectly imperfect. She is flawed. She has her faults and the best part of this is that I too am deeply flawed. Yes we disagree, yes we have our faults, but at the end of the day, we are in love with each others flaws. Because if we were any perfect than we are, we wouldn't fit. It is these perfect imperfections, that and the unconventional nature of our union that does the path to the journey to love. 

Many times we have heard and seen likenesses and ideas of what love is, I do not in any way claim to be the ultimate proof or ideal on what love is, but I believe my version, my faith, my truth is the best definition yet. The reason I say this is because despite being mired by family issues and personal biases, we have found a peace, a comfort, a contentment that is 

So fulfilling. This ladies and gentlemen is a blog that will document that journey every single day through tales and poems. My darling Tate. Consider this our shrine. This is ours. Unblemished by other works that had others in it. 

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,I love you directly without problems or pride:I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love,except in this form in which I am not nor are you,so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
