Passionate:

All I am and all I will be

Everything in this world

All that I'll ever need

Is in your eyes

Shining at me

When you smile I can feel

All my passion unfolding

Your hand brushes mine

And a thousand emotions

Seduce me

Because I cherish you

For the rest of my life

Think once but never twice

I will love you with all my soul

It is beyond my control

I've waited so long to say this to you

If you're asking if it is true

That one could love you as I do

I wish to reassure you

My Love is TRUE!

I do love you this much
Yes, I do

In my world, before you

I lived outside my emotions

Had no clue where I was going

Then on that day of "Margarita at Chachos"

You began to unfold the man I was meant to be

Taking me to a new paradise

I am here to claim til my dying day

I will always love you this much

Affectionate:

I want to walk with you while holding hands. Strenghtening our bond daily. When you are cooking in the kitchen I will sneak up behind you, embrace you, then give you a kiss on the neck. Showing you how I love and adore you.  I want to touch you when ever possible. Loving you and caressing your skin keeping our relationship strong and sensual. I want to hold you when you are near. If you are sitting in front of the television or lying in bed I will hold you close. I will grab you as you walk in the door and tell you how much I have missed you and how much I appreciate you. I will tell them you how lucky I am to have met a woman as great as you and strive daily to show you how much you mean to me. My affection towards you will be the physical manifestation of my feelings for you.

Attentiveness:

What is attentiveness? It is a simple word, but complex when applying. When you love someone you must be attentive. Giving attention, being watchful for details that would maintain or improve your love of each other. This is marked by offering devoted and assiduous attention to the pleasure and comfort of the one you love. Expressing affectionate interest through close observation and gallant gestures with and to your love. Never missing an opportunity to please her.

Love is like an island

An island is in a body of water, difficult to reach. One can not simple walk there. A boat would make the trip to any island easy. Boats are not very plentiful and often not available when an island is seen from shore. If an island of beauty is seen from the shore, what do you do? You are enticed to be on this island, to enjoy its splendors. A desire wells within you to be there. The perfect lush green trees past the clear blue water pulls you to it. How do you get there? You must get there!? You decide to dive into the water, not knowing what lies in the water, not knowing how far this island is or if it will be true to you when you finally get there. But you dive in head first. Fear wells within you as well as the excitement thats comes with adventure. Is this island your dream come true? The swim is long, and you struggle to stay above water. Sheer determination allows you to persevere and finally arrive on the island. Exhausted you fall asleep. After a short period you awake and begin to explore this island that tempted you so. As you walk this island you fall into a trance, amazed at this island. It is more perfect than you thought it would be. You smil, knowing the risk you took swimming to this island was worth it. You are now truly home.

Why a rose?

I never knew why a rose is the gift men give to a lady. One day while thinking of this random thought, I decided to look closely at a rose. A rose is visually stunning, yet simplistic. Colors are vibrant, but not overpowering. The smell is aromatic, yet so subtle that you have to want to smell it. The more I looked at this simple sweet smelling red rose, the more I wanted to know about it. Then a thought came through my mind, this rose is like my wife. Simply stunning, vibrant, lovely in all ways. My wife, like the rose, draws me closer. Always making me want to know more, making me yearn to enjoy her beauty.
