When I fall in love

When I fall in love,
I want to be with her always;
In happiness, to smile with her,
and be the one to hug her near.

In sadness, to cry with her,
and be the one to dry her tears.

When I fall in love,
I will spend my every waking and sleeping moments with her
and catch each moment in its eternally lovely form.

When I fall in love,
I will miss her the very moment I say ‘goodbye’
and my heart will yearn for the very moment I say ‘hello’.

When I fall in love,
all my old hurts and pains will seem lost and faded away
and I will be strong and brave once again.

When I fall in love,
I want you to be happy always, ever
and feel like the happiest person of them all . . .

Because that’s what I will feel,
when I fall in love,
with you.

Fall in love

If you are going to fall in love with me,
don’t fall in love with my Sunday best
don’t fall in love with the way I look
after spending hours getting ready
or my fakest smile or freshly done hair…

Fall in love with my body, the way it
widens quite a lot around my hips
and how I will never have that perfect figure
and how I honestly don’t really care…

Fall in love with my impatience, my jealous
moods and the times that I don’t feel anything at all
And fall in love with how sometimes I act like a child
whilst other times I can be the most mature

Fall in love with my scars, my marks and
all the things that makes me far less than perfect

And fall in love with every part of me, both good and bad,
and especially with all that I consider a flaw
fall in love with me as whole
or don’t fall in love with me at all…

A wise man once told me, “When it is real, you will know,”

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would meet a woman that could captivate and win my heart at “Hello”. Every moment from when I wake up till deep in the night, there is no place on earth I would rather be than holding and kissing you tenderly.

You are a special woman with unique and intriguing qualities that drive my desire for you far beyond any imagination. Never in my life until the day I met you have I wanted to bring a child into this world, share everything, offer all my love unconditionally, and grow old with someone to one day reminisce of the years we shared together. Just the thought of offering my total heart and spending my life cherishing every moment with you, brings these incredible emotions to me I have never experienced before.

The worse day of my life was letting you slip out of my life, because I was afraid to tell you, not show you, but tell you how I felt and feel about you…I hurt you, just by not standing up for what I believed in. (And I do believe in you, kleintje, I tremendously do!), but second chances do not come too often in life. I will not go on another day without giving us a true chance at a life with love and happiness I know we could embrace together.

A wise man once told me, “When it is real, you will know,” … I know.
