Day 39

Thirty years,
Thirty long year.
That's how long it took,
For true love,
To find its way to me.
I'd wait another million,
If it meant you'd be the one I'd hold.

How could it be,
Someone 8,000 miles away,
Was growing a heart,
That could be so fond of me?
Someone who,
Could appreciate my humor,
My empathy for others,
And has a love for music,
With only a talent for singing off key.

Why would we be placed,
So far away?
With a chance we may never meet.
Life is full of questions,
Which seem to have no answer,
Until they answer themselves.
Did the world need two of us?
Were we suppose to meet?
Was this His plan all along?

I think now,
I've learned not ask
Too many questions.
It only complicates the mind,
And leaves no room for surprise.
I am so thankful,
Thankful we followed His path,
 and ventured in to each others hearts.

Day 38

More of a breakup song, but the love is there (and always will be):

Your heart won't break with me,
An unhappy tear, you never will see.
These are words I've said and I stand by,
Don't walk out, don't say goodbye.
I've given to you, too much of my life,
To waste it on some little fight.

Stay with me,
Stay strong with me,
Don't fight any fights
Keep love in sight
Don't ever let the wrongs be right.

I can see your pain in the sunlight glare,
Let me hold you again, watch it all disappear.
This passion, it has not died,
It's there, buried inside.
Come back to my arms, awaken the past,
Show our hearts, true love can last.

Stay with me,
Stay strong with me,
Don't fight any fights
Keep love in sight
Don't ever let the wrongs be right.

Day 37

Time for another song:

Jason Aldean - When She Says Baby

When she says baby,
No matter what comes, ain't goin' nowhere 
She runs her fingers through my hair and saves me.
Yeah that look in her eyes got me comin' alive
And drivin' me a good kinda crazy
When she says baby.
Oh when she says baby.

Day 36

A mirror,
Tells one story.
A facade,
To what's inside.

The eyes,
Look though them.
The layers,
Peel them back.

Honesty,
Is found within.
The soul,
Let fascination begin.

Kindness,
The best of qualities.
Fun,
The only way to live.

Intelligence,
A powerful aphrodisiac.
Passion,
Arousing the heart.

Loving,
Always ready to give.
A Partner,
To walk the road of life.

You,
Re-defining 'beauty.'
Me,
The luckiest man.

Day 35

Dreams can become reality,
Wishing and hoping, just a formality.

Close your eyes and drift away,
Let yourself be taken to a special day.

Eyes on eyes, a locked in smile,
Slowly walking down the aisle.

Past crowds of family and friends,
Pretty red flowers and resounding Amens.

You're are ravishing in white,
Your heart races, filled with delight.

Words your repeating, they come from your soul,
As I echo back, we become whole.

I caress off a tear, formed by love,
A kiss on lips and thanks to above.

We walk out, husband and wife,
Dedicated as one, we will live our life.

Day 34

I can't speak for others,

How they see love,

Feel love,

Or seek love.

I just know, for me, 

Love is blind,

Love feeds happiness,

And love finds you. 

They say love is patient,

Love is kind,

And when it is real,

It permeates your mind. 

You can't force love,

Try to coerce love,

Or even control love,

It’s free until it finds a heart. 

Love can grow, 

Little by little,

Or by leaps and bounds,

There is no limit. 

If you treat it bad,

Love can die,

It can slowly crumble,

Turning to pain and tears.

So nurture it,

Honor it, instead of gold,

Make it ritual,

Reach out and never let go. 

Day 33

The sun is shining
My heart is beating
What else do I need?

A breeze is blowing,
Fresh air to breath,
What else do I need?

I close my eyes,
Have sweet dreams,
What else do I need?

You bring happiness to me,
Sharing love we thought we'd never find.
It's really all I need.

Day 32

Tonight I say, I love you,
With all of my heart.

Tonight I say, I miss you,
More than anything I have ever.

Tonight you entertain me,
With words of Passenger.

Tonight, like the others, you are beautiful,
Mind, body and soul.

Toinght, I would carry you to the moon,
And watch the world pass by.

Tonight is another night,
That I can't get you off my mind.

Day 31

As I stare in to your eyes,
I feel a sweet relief.
They welcome me in with love,
and caress me with serenity.

Your soft whispers in my ear,
Are a cool wind on a summer's day.
Refreshingly peaceful,
Calming my nerves and relaxing my soul.

Your kiss caresses my neck,
Warm and sweet, I'm easy prey.
Passionately we embrace,
Entwining in a knot of love.

With you I'd lay forever,
In arms so tightly wound.
Face to face and heart to heart,
Let the time just tick away.

Day 30

It's been 30 days, which brings us 30 days closer to being together. And no I did not forget your birthday which is today in your time zone and tomorrow in mine. I hope you have a wonderful, exciting, and relaxing day. You deserve it. Love you very much!

My Happy Birthday melody song:

All I know is, I love you
All I know is, I love you
All I know is, you're amazing
All I know is, you love me too

Day 29

A kiss in the morning
A kiss at night

Saying I love you
Saying I miss you

Walking hand in hand
Walking side by side

An impromptu dinner date
An impromptu love note

Sharing your thoughts
Sharing dessert

A word of support
A word of advice

Listening without judging
Listening and understanding

Opening your heart
Opening the door

Supporting decisions
Supporting emotionally

Working as team
Working, but not at home

Happiness lives in the little moments
Let the beauty of the mind, body and soul overwhelm

Day 28

Music is part of what brought us together, so I can't help posting songs I hear during the day which make me think of you.

Forever -By Kiss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_RKO5ozLVo&feature=kp 

I gotta tell you what I'm feelin' inside, I could lie to myself, but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes, girl I'm out of my head over you
I lived so long believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

It's forever, this time I know and there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl I'll be lovin' you forever

I hear the echo of a promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin' all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin' me this time

Day 27

Sometimes I sleep in,
Just to see what my dreams will bring.

I can feel you next to me,
But when I look, it's just memories.

I want to feel your body warm beside,
Your lips right there, nowhere to hide.

I reach out, you're still not there,
Close my eyes tighter, breathing in the perfume you wear.

My heart races, as if it's one beat,
Your shadow moves closer, we're almost complete.

As the sweat pours, the sun shines his light,
Being next to you will have to wait one more night.

Day 26 (February 14) and 27 (February 15)

Having celebrated Valentine's Day on separate days due to our distance, I am combining two posts in to one massive letter of love. Some of you reading this may be sick from all the love I have to give, or all the love my girl gives me, but too bad. It is what it is, get over it. :)

This is my letter of love for the girl I can't wait to wrap my arms around again.

Dear Mandy,

At a time when life was seemingly never going my way, a pretty girl was placed directly in my path. I thank God every day that I hopped on a plane to Taiwan for school and that you were there studying. Did I have any idea I was on a trip to meet my soul mate? Not a chance. I was mostly running away from what seemed like a deteriorating faith in love and hope. Our paths crossed at the perfect time and allowed me to wipe out any memory of that dark place. You taught my heart to smile and to understand what it fells like to truly love another person.

These last year 20 months have gone by so fast, but the love that seemed to blossom overnight continues to grow. I feel it from you and hope you feel it from me. I know it is difficult for us to be apart for these lengthy periods of time, but once the dust settles, there will be lots of time to embrace, laugh and enjoy each other's presence. I am sure a good fight or two, or three, will take place, but I know we will not allow them to hastily knock down the bridge of communication and trust we have built between us.

I look forward to growing with you through the years. Whatever life throws at us, we will dive in and press through, knowing we have each other by our sides. Nothing in this life scares me (except snakes, I really hate snakes) when I know you are standing next to me, and supporting me 100%.

You are my rock. You are my most trusted companion. You are the best you for me.

I will love you to eternity.

-CJH

Day 25

Dream with all your heart,
Dream big and dream wide.
Dream me in to your arms,
Where I can hold you tight.

Dream of paradise under moonlight,
Dream of peace for all,
Dream my eyes staring in to yours,
Where pure happiness awaits.

Dream our children to life,
Dream dreams for them,
Dream they follow their hearts,
Where they will find love and happiness.

Dream of us growing old,
Dream us staying young at heart,
Dream of us rising up,
Where eternal love awaits.

Day 24

When you give me so much,
I only want to give you more.
A shared give and take.

Shouldn't this be love,
Sharing and caring for each other?
Equal parts of you and me.

Selfish thoughts are not welcome,
Let teamwork and communication reign.
Honesty will hold us like glue.

Strength and faith,
In all you do and the love you give.
A higher power watches over us.

Day 23

You are intelligent 

You are sweet

You are kind

You are funny

You are beautiful

You are giving

You are graceful

You are strong

You are fearless

You are honest

You are committed

You are determined

You are mine

Day 22

I dream of us,
All night and day,
What we have,
What we will be.

I close my eyes,
You are there,
Smiling, laughing,
A beautiful surprise.

I open my eyes,
You're lying next to me,
A warm body,
I want never to let go.

Take my hand,
Walk with me,
Pull me down for a kiss,
Never let this feeling end.

Day 21

It's nice to hear "I Love you" in return,
Not just echoes in a silent room.
Your eyes tell me not to yearn.,
My heart no longer wears a costume.

Having you in my arms,
Shows me how wrong the last ones were.
I've fallen for your witty charm,
Resulting in heartbreak's cure.

I'm looking forward to many years,
Covered in your sweet kisses.
We'll walk together to a new a frontier,
Hand in hand, me your man, you my missus.

Day 20

Was out of town February 8, so I am doubling up:

Watching the Beatles tribute on CBS and this song just fits perfectly:

"In My Life"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKQpRgxyyqo

There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more

Day 19

You never know how strong you are,
Until it's the only choice you have.
We will endure these moments apart,
And shine when we reach the other side.

Day 18

I'm walking all over town,
Talking all over town,
About a girl.,
A girl I've known,
For just a few days,
But my oh my, my hearts going insane.

I'm high, but drug free,
I'm drunk, no liquor in me,
She's got, got me weak in the knees  
Love's put a spell on me.

Day 17

You're the best love song I've ever written.
Your heart is the best thing I've ever stolen.
You're one soul among the masses.
And you have renewed joy in my life

Day 16

I'd like to rewind,
Go back in time,
To our first kiss,
Pressing your lips to mine.

As great as that would be,
The future you and me,
Husband and wife,
Is something I cant wait to see.

I'd like to take a peek
The kids, the cars and long hour jobs,
I know we'll be just fine,
Making our house a home.

On second thought,
Let's take life one moment at a time,
Creating special memories,
With the one we call, destiny.

Day 15

Happiness is within reach,
Don't have to dig too deep.
Open up your heart,
Let it bleed with joy.

Day 14

Ben Howard - "Only Love"


Darling you're with me, always around me.
Only love, only love.
Darling I feel you, under my body.
Only love, only love.
Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, Come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.
And I'll be yours to keep.

Day 13

I wander around my house,
Listening to songs about love.
You race through my mind,
A silent tear roll down my cheek.

I want to be happy,
I am in love!
But I can't feel anything,
Except alone.

Why am I stuck here and you there?
I want to pick up and leave,
Hop a ride on the wind,
Fly it straight to your arms,
Hold you and never let go.

It will be so perfect,
Surrendering to our hearts,
Standing together in happiness,
For a million years.
