16 More Days

16 more days. And I will again feel the comfort and joy and safety of you beside me as I sleep. And I will again be able to give you the comfort of my arms through the night. And I can again lose myself in your closeness – releasing my fears being wrapped in your

Valentine’s Day 2010

My love wrote me beautiful poems for Valentine’s Day. They touched the very core of my being, lifted my heart, and filled my soul with joy. I bought her jewelry. I felt cheap by comparison. This is part of what I wrote back to her. The rest of it is only for her. No, it

Until We are Together Again

I now know the joy of being at your side. And I miss you every day now that we are once again apart. I think of you always and thinking of us together makes me ache for you. But it also warms my heart and brings comfort to my soul knowing that soon: … I

6 Days of Heaven

Looking Forward To

I am completely in love with a woman 2000 miles away. We’ve spent hundreds of hours on the phone together (really – just ask Sprint) and our time talking too often seems to fly by each night. We are finally going to meet. As each day passes, I find myself thinking about what I look

Love, Control, and Decisions

In the last two days I have read two writings that deal with the damage that control in a relationship brings. And it made me reflect on my own issues with control. I work with computers. At an early age I learned to program and enjoy being able to make the little beasties do what
