When you love someone

Have you ever loved someone so deeply, that the thought of being without them caused such pain that you thought your very heart was weeping? A love so great that just the mention of his/her name makes your heart flutter and you smile like you have the greatest secret known to mankind? The kind of love that makes you say, he or she is my everything? That is how I feel about my husband. Mushy? Yes, but oh so true. Last July, I wrote a poem about my feelings for him, trying to get into words just what he means to me.
To Me
To me he is the sunshine
That brightens up my day
To me he is the laughter
That chases clouds away
To me he is the music
That makes my heart sing
To me he’s the voice I long for
When I hear the phone ring
To me he is that safe place
So I sleep in peace each night
To me he is that comforting hug
That makes everything seem right
To me he is an altar
Where I can go to pray
To me he is the blanket
On a cold winter day
To me he is a fire
With a warm, soothing glow
To me he is the angel
I make out in the snow
To me he is the anchor
On life’s troubled sea
And I will cherish him forever
For he is home to me

Actually yes, I feel this way about my boyfriend. He claims that he feels the same about me as well, but I don't really think he does. He works so much that he sometimes wont even call me, and we don't spend nearly enough time together. I don't really want to leave him though, because I'm not sure if I can find someone else to love the way I love him.

Well you may be right. I guess he hasn't given me any real reasons to doubt him...It just seems like he puts his work ahead of me all the time, and I'm afraid we can never really have a life together because of it.

That is about the worse mistake anyone can make. To me a love relationship is just like a garden, you have to feed and water it to keep it growing and you have to pay close attention to the weeds that would destroy it. Work , while a much needed thing, can become a weed that can choke the life out of any relationship. Finding a good balance between the 2 can be hard, but can also be accomplished.
Sometimes I think we spend way to much time chasing material things when really all we need is a roof over our heads, food on our tables, heat and cooling, you know, the things that keep us alive. Anything left over is a perk, but if you have nobody to share with, what good is it to you?

Take the time you do have and spend it with quality. Try not to doubt with little reason. If he is working that hard, then maybe he doesn't have the time to call when you think he should.
On the other hand, you can find true love in the strangest places and with the most unexpected people. I did, my husband and I are opposites in most things, but we work, it just is.

Yes I know how you feel. I wrote on for my husband a few years ago. So I went and hunted it down and am going to post it here to share also.
Thank you for everything you are
Your strength and friendship means everything
You stand by me even when I am wrong.
Thank you for everything you are
Thank you for everything you are
You encourage me to go after my dreams
You even keep me ground with my feet
Thank you for everything you are
Thank you for everything you are
When things are over whelming and I want to cry
You dry my tears as you listen with your heart
Thank you for everything you are
Thank you for everything you are
When I get caught up in some things that I do
I sometimes ignore you, but you stand beside me
Thank you for everything you are
Thank you for everything you are
You love me and I love you
You were made for me and I was made for you
Thank you for everything that you are

That is the coolest feeling ever isn't it? That is how I feel about my hubby too He was stationed in Kuwait for a year and with his training he was gone for 16 months! I was so lost without him I felt like I wasn't complete until he came home i love him so much. That is an awesome poem

when you love someone, that is the most happy time I think, at that moment, you will be a giver, you want give all of you to your lover, at the sametime , your lvoer willl give you all ,you are the receiver, you will find you are so happy when you get back from the love you pay out.
