BETWEEN YOU AND ME

THERE COMES A POINT WHEN
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO'S
WRONG OR RIGHT..
WHEN DEBATING ISSUES TAKES
TOO MUCH ENERGY AWAY
FROM OUR LOVE...
I'M REALLY,REALLY SORRY
THAT THIS DIFFERENCE IS
CAUSING FRICTION BETWEEN US
I'LL ADMIT I
DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.
STILL,IN MY HEART
AND IN MY MIND AND EVERY
SPARK IN MY SOUL.....
I KNOW THAT "I LOVE YOU"
AND THAT LOVE IS SO MUCH
MORE IMPORTANT TO ME
THAN EVER BEING RIGHT
SOMETIMES PEOPLE IN LOVE
JUST HAVE TO AGREE
TO DISAGREE,
PUT PRIDE ASIDE
AND COME CLOSER TO SEEING
EACH OTHER'S POINT OF VIEW
I KNOW I'M NOT PERFECT
AND THERE'S ONE THING
THAT I KNOW FOR SURE----
I CAN LIVE WITH BEING WRONG
BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
WITHOUT YOU................
JUST CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH!!!

LOOKING BACK OF YESTERDAY

FOR SO LONG I USED TO
KNOW YOU
I WAS PETRIFIED
OVERWHELMED WITH JOY
THOUGH TERRIFIED FROM
THE PAST
I DARE TO TRY
ARISING IN MY HEART FROM
THE BOTTOM OF MY SOUL
YOU'VE STIRRED WITH-IN
THE DEPTHS OF ME...
YOU BROUGHT ME UP,
FALLING INTO ECSTACY
THE LOVE WE SHARED
ERASE THE PAIN
EVERY SINGLE MOMENTS
WAS PASSIONATE......
WE HAVE HAD DREAMS
ABOUT TOMORROW,OUR FUTURE
BUT IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
TIME HAS COME AND LET
US PART
I WAS CRUSHED,DEVASTATED
TREMENDOUSLY.............
FINDING FOR SERENITY
AND TRANQUILITY I LEAD
ASTRAYED
STAMBLING INTO NOWHERE
BUT I DID REGAIN...........
LET LOVE EMBRACE THE PAIN
WITH COURAGE AND OPTIMISM
HOLDING MY HEAD UP HIGH
WEAR A SMILE.....
I DO NOT DWELL GRIEVING
ON THE PAST
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE BRIGHT
SIDE THAT IT WILL LAST
YOU LIFTED ME UP WHEN
I WAS DOWN
THAT MADE MY SPIRIT
SOAR HIGH AND STILL
REGRET,I HAVE NOTHING
FOR THE LOVE IS REAL
OUR MEMORIES TOGETHER
WILL LAST FOREVER
HOW HAPPY I AM
BEING PART OF YOUR LIFE
AND YOU ALWAYS BE
A PART OF ME..........
NOW I SMILE AND LIVE
MY LIFE WORTHWHILE

ON THE PHONE

As You Whisper In My Ear
Comforted by your thoughtsThose times I felt lonelyWishing you could be hereAs you whispered if onlyI savoured your sweet wordsListening to what you sayAs you expressed your loveSo near yet so far awayEvery time I hear your voiceIn a loving sensual toneIts like miles no longer existSpeaking on the phoneWhile embracing every wordI even wiped away a tearIt feels like your next to meAs you whisper in my ear

I LOVE YOU,I LOVE YOU,I LOVE YOU.

I love you with all of my heartWith a love I just can't controlIts a feeling thats not just a bond of our heartsIts more like a bond of our soulsTo hold your hand is not just a sweet jestureIts a connection of my life to youTo kiss your lips is simply perfectionIts all my lips want to doTo tell you I love you is not to speak mere wordsIts my heart screaming out from withinPut your ear over my heart and listenIt wants to tell you over and over againI love you I love you I love you

JUST ONCE

Looking through my windowOut into the nightSilver moon glisteningThrough partly cloudy skiesStars dance and twinkleAs clouds drift on the windEver moving onwardWho knows where they have beenThey never stop to wonderNever ask the question whyYet they have looked upon such beautyAs through the heavens they do flyOh that I could drift with themAlong their starry wayForgetting the worriesOf this human heartAt least for just a day

VICTORY...

VICTORY...When winds and storms assault meWhen darkness is all I seeI keep my focus eternalAnd thank God for the victory...In fellowship with His peopleI find it lightens my taskAnd when we agree before our FatherThere s nothing we cannot ask...Life isn t easy on planet earthNor did He say it would beBut He paid the price of salvation s worthHe paid it for you and for me...Each day I look for the SonshineI know He is always thereHis light dispels my darknessAnd fills my heart with cheer...So though the winds may buffetAnd storms beat on my soulMy victory is in JesusWhatever be the toll...The cost cannot be measuredFor the price is already paidWe are the Father s treasuredForever and for that I will thank him...So rejoice with me, friendMake a joyful noise unto our fatherLets praise and worshipOur lord Jesus christ...

Online Relationships - The Art Of Misperception

Is “real” love possible to attain via computer? There are many factors that come into play when two people fall in love. Some cannot be described in a definitive way; such as chemical attraction. Other factors are qualities that we find in another person that compliment our desires of a “perfect” mate. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, caring, a fun loving personality and good morals are just a few of these qualities. Many woman and men alike, have “fallen in love” over the internet. They have done so, without the possibility of truly seeing any of these qualities in the other person. So before we put our hearts on the line, we must ask ourselves; is it truly possible to love someone via computer? The majority of people who believe they have discovered true love without actually meeting the other person, have done so by implementing a type of instant messenger or video conferencing. We will focus on this element, as the element of a webcam can be misleading. When two people find each other and begin to chat online, one of two things happens. Either they do not feel a connection or they do. If a connection is felt, this can quickly escalate into chatting every day. They believe they have discovered the excitement that one feels when meeting someone new. However, they have not really met, have they? It is a fact that many people are lonely. This is not new to us, many single people are busy with work, single moms are busy with their children and it can be very daunting and difficult to find a meaningful relationship in the “real” world. With personal computers in the majority of every household, many people turn to this internet environment when they are lonely and wish for someone to talk to. It is important to realize that the world inside a computer is not, and never can be, the real world. When craving acceptance, love, caring, attention and a relationship, one can easily be led astray into the art of misperception. Often, this misperception is not done on purpose. Both people involved in the online relationship do not even realize this is happening. The truth of the matter is this: the key elements of a true and loving relationship cannot materialize through a computer. You may wish for them, daydream of them and tell yourself they exist, but they do not. Starting with physical and chemical attraction: a person may feel they are attracted to the image on a webcam but this in no way is the actual person that exists. Anyone who owns a webcam surely understands that it is very easy to show yourself in a good light via cam. If you feel that you are completely attracted to the other person, ask yourself this: Do you entirely show your true self on your cam? Webcams are an image of you, a moving image and very far from what you are perceived as in person. If you are attracted to someone via cam, ask yourself, have you stood close to him or her and taken in the presence of his or her body? Do you love the fragrance of their cologne/ perfume? Do you love the feel of their kisses? When they hug you, is it done strongly or softy? Do you love those hugs? When you touch their hair, do you admire the feel of it? The smell of it? The answer, of course is no. You have no idea what this person is like in person nor how you feel physically and emotionally when touching them. Qualities such as honesty, loyalty, integrity, caring and general overall mood are extremely important to a strong and loving relationship. If a person possesses these qualities, it can then free you to respect the person and set a ground for trust and a feeling of safety. Someone who is in love online, may debate that they have seen these qualities already. To this, I ask; Are you there in the house when they get home from work and see what they do with all of their spare time? Are you witness to their work ethics? Do you sit around a table with their family and see the loving interaction? Have you gotten in an argument and have seen if the other person stays to talk or walks out the door in anger? Have you stood by them when they hear some unpleasant news and are witness to how they react? Have you greeted them at the end of a long day, a day that tested their nerves, and then received a hug? Did you cook and then burn dinner and they told you it does not matter, they love you for trying? Did you forget to run an important errand that you promised you would, and they told you not to worry? The list is endless. The conclusion is that there is no possible way to know of how this person will interact in a relationship without physically being with them. Love can be confusing. Craving a relationship or marriage can send people in a blindness that prevents them from understanding the misperception that occurs online. Again, this misperception does not need be by intention. The mere fact that there is no actual “in person” interface is what causes this misperception to arise in the first place. A person can be intrigued, in lust, in “like”, or in a false reality of love when online with another. Only in spending quality time face-to-face, will the true colors of the other surface. It is at that time, that one should decide if they are in love
