  I heard what you had to say to me the other day.  I know you thought I wasn't listening but it's hard for me to explain to you how I feel.  I heard thouse words, you spoke out loud, which are echoing in my ear, "You know I'd fight for you, but how can I fight someone who isn't even there?".  I don't think I realized you were right about it all, everything you had sadi these last few months until those words left your lips.
  You once asked me if I still loved him and I dismissed you with a comment about how you were being insecure, you never brought it up again.  Did you know the answer the whole time?  Is that why you didn't dare ask again?
  I will answer all your questions now.  Do I have room left to give, or is my heart already full?  That was a hard question to hear because it is one I have asked myself for so long.  I think I now know the answer, I don't think a heart has a capacity.  I think it becomes consummed by one person and then grows to let another one in.  You're in my heart, you have your own place, a piece that will always belong to you and only you, just as others who came before have their piece as well.
  Am I still in love with him?  To be in love boht people must feel the same way, both must be committed and true to those feelings.  SO no I'm not still IN LOVE with him.  I did love him very deeply once, he made me feel things I had never felt before.  We had something that was great while it lasted, and now it's over.  And I do love him, but as someone who holds a piece of my past.
  You hold my future.  I look at you and see hope.  We have overcome many obstacles and jumped some pretty big mountains together.  You hold my entire heart in your hands.  Your world has become mine.  You are my every thought.  When you hold me I am in utter peace.
  I don't know how else to tell you I love you, there there is not one other person I want to wake up to in the morning, that you are my knight in shining armour and I treasure each second we have together.  He had my past, You are my future.

I love you.

This is a beautiful piece, very flowing and personal.  Great work.

I liked it Martini. Very well written, and very personal, I dont think I could ever put something so personal in such great words. God Bless

sweet Kisses

thank you, it was not something that was easy to write, or to feel, so many emotions flowed thorugh me while I wrote this peice, and I had to try to focus them, it was hard however I think it turned out the way I wanted it to.
