A candle

A candle lit for hope
A candle lit for strength
A candle lit for one whose family love turned to hate
A candle lit for one i love
A candle lit for one i owe
Nothing more than my very soul.

It can't be true

I was at work the other day and mentioned the late birthday/early Christmas present i had gotten my lady of a new android phone from my cell company.  The guy said that the amount you spend on your girl shows the amount of your love.  What has happened to our society that we have hammered into us that money buys love?  I don't believe and can't believe that it's true.  Love is more than gifts, and happiness is more than money.  I'm happier with the woman i love now than i ever was with she- who- must- not- be- named.  That didn't involve gifts or money of any kind, just her.

Could i live?

Could i live without you, my love?
One who's opened up my soul?
Could i live without you, my pure white dove?
The answer i give is an emphatic no.
You are in my mind, my dreams.
My love for you bursts me at the seams.
You being here,
I have no fear.
My heart is yours forever more.

<p>I've just been through this weekend and a third anniversary (weekly) with the most wonderful woman I've known, age gap not withstanding.&#160; Granted we've been engaged a little more than a week too, still I can't imagine a time when I was happier.&nbsp; Even with the other women I've been with in my life, I don't think I've ever been as happy as I am now.  I love her so much that I can't think of anyone but her by my side.  I love you baby.
