Have experienced both love and what I thought was love, and found pain and hurt.

The real definition of love is Eric, who's given me everything and more. The time
we share with one another is breathtaking. I feel safe in his arms, he embraces me;
touching every bone in my body as it tingles to the touch of his warm flesh. His
presence lingers in my mind when he isn't physically with me, always on my mind,
and in my heart. He cares for me, the way no one can and ever will. Our time spent
with each other is blissful. The sound of his voice lets me know that I am safe
from all danger. His lips - oh, how sweet! The laughter we share is like no other.
My problems, which he has not caused, are but small deteriorating objects that
escape my mind when he comforts me. He respects me, not just as a girlfriend but as
a person and a young woman. He waits patiently for me, no matter whatever it may
be: getting ready, brushing my teeth, fixing my hair, waiting as long as it may be
take to make love. He is always honest with me, giving me advice which helps me to
become a better person.
He brings out the "Robert" in me, The Robert who has been shut away from her
feelings, worrying too much about the well being of others rather than herself,
neglecting what means the most. Our relationship could not, and would not survive
without forgiveness. The friendship we share is like no other. He looks out for my
best interests. Helping each day with the patience I need with others. If I fall,
he is right by my side to lift me up.
HE is perfect in every way, shape, and form. Happiness describes every moment we
share. We've gone beyond our limits, surpassing each other's barriers. What we have
may become stale at times but will re-make and once again be fresh.
When I am in pain he is my remedy. He replenishes the holes made by others in my
heart, mending them with his thoughtfulness, kindness, and well-being. He quenches
my thirst, whatever it may be. He serenades me as if I were a queen in a royal
family. Oh, how I cherish him. We were once strangers, but have become the love of
one another's lives.
Thank you, Derby, for stepping into my life; you mean so much to me. I love you!
Love always.
