The Sweetest

--

Dear Beautiful,

You, you..and you alone, are the sweetest!

Can I say that for the rest of my life?

Can I never stop watching over you? Watching your every smile and listening to your every laugh dance upon my ears?

I know I'm the guy that's found someone so wonderful he had missed out on all his life till now

I mean really, my heart has never felt like this!

Never felt so happy, so wonderful, so..right

Today when I told my friend that I was going to marry you, it seemed oh so natural

To know that the love of my life was far, yet still ever on my thoughts, and ever a part of my dreams, is such a real thing to me now

I see my present and my future with you..the sweetest, most loving, most beautiful girl in the whole world..

And that's you!

Gosh...to say I'm lucky just wouldn't cover it

Such a special person as you are...you have taken my heart and cared for it like no one ever has...knowing you, well darling, you've changed my life

And I never ever intend to be apart from your side...the sweetest, the most lovely girl...well, you!

So hey, will you be mine?

:]

Forever Yours

Moonlight and lovesongs are never out of date..

Dear Beautiful,

Perhaps it was the slight chill in the air

Perhaps it was the walk through a sun lit beautiful countryside to get to class..

Perhaps it was the flashing pictures across my computer screen..each one graced by your beautiful smile..

Perhaps..it was all of them combined, that made me miss you with all my being


I realized how much I missed the warmth of your touch

..the joy of your love as when we watched beautiful mountain ranges and distant running rivers..together

.....the perfection of your adorable smile as it glowed so beautifully just inches away from my lips


Truly even in this evening..it could only be my most perfect happiness to be able to sing you to sleep as the moon yawns and lays down to sleep

Things such as these, with you and I..will never, ever be out of date

Never too mushy..too loving

No, for us -- every bit of our love is beautiful

And that's just how it will be

For all, all time

:]

Forever Yours

Knowing the warmth of your care..

Dear Beautiful,

Even from so far away, you are the girl who makes this guy's heart sing..

Knowing your care for me is enough to pull me along, and help me bear every little one of life's burdens that weighs heavy

Do you realize how much you truly do for me?

I could only hope to care for you in every way you deserve to be cared for..because seemingly, you know everything about making my heart so very happy...

Darling, through the miles of fields and forest and highway that take up space between our two lives, our hearts seem to have met and held fast to one another, even though the rest of our lives are still distant

But only for now...

I know for a fact that distance can't bind us for forever, and by the beauty of our love for one another, our end is secure

Together, Forever, and Ever and Ever, Amen

When the day comes that I can slide that ring on your finger, and grasp your hand in mine .. that'll be the moment I'll know for sure the beauty of the rest of my life

With you, Katie Nichole Martin, I just can't stop smiling at how wonderful everything is

You're the one who does this to me

You're the one who always will be my smile

You're the one...You're the one, You're the one!

I know so

So get ready for a lifetime of cooking dinner together, going on random roadtrips to places we've never seen, watching movies that make us laugh and feel happy at the same time..and when the lights dim, and it's just you and me, I'll hold you tightly in my arms as we drift off to sleep

Truly darling, all we are...is so special now, and always, always will be

:]

Forever Yours

In the silence of a gentle evening..

Dear Beautiful,

What is "somewhere" if your heart isn't there too..

Once the whirl of my day winds down, and I notice how empty my room is, how empty car rides seem back and forth to places I have no desire to be, how empty my heart feels without the one and only person to ever fill it..

Without you, I feel lost and confused

It's not this place, it's not the places I've lived in, nor the places I've visited..

It's me

You have so quickly become the light to my eyes, that without your glimmer, I fear they cease to see true beauty in all they gaze upon...

Here in this quiet place, I feel more alone then I ever have

I know over time I'll again adjust to your absence..and be "ok" in waiting once again for a moment to see your sweet face

But for now, for tonight, the rest of me waits to see you here again

Sweetheart, I will always wait, patiently, joyfully, until I can hold you in my arms again

Until I can kiss your lips and wish you into dream filled sleep..I will wait

How much I love you can't be measured...how much I care can't be contained

I always will, my lovely Katie -- for the rest of my life

I am yours

I am yours

I am yours...

Forever

--

Holding Fast

--

Dear Beautiful,

Waiting, I will wait

No matter what path your beautiful life takes you on, I'll be waiting, watching, for that moment when it leads you back into my arms

I know how hard distance can be..I never knew before now

I never realized how deeply one's heart can be torn -- between the place where it physically resides, and the place where it wants to be..

Darling, my heart will be with you always, even if for a time the rest of me is not

I will be holding fast -- holding onto every thought of you, every moment I can remember when we were together, every one..

Truly such love has never existed in my heart before, never such attachment, never such dedication

I could have never expected an angel to walk into my life and change every thing into such color..like the first few days of spring, when you can tell true beauty is beginning to span across your vision

You did, sweetheart

You changed my life so perfectly

What I thought I knew about me, my heart, and where my heart found its peace..all changed

And I will always, always hold you tightly in my heart because of it

Every part of you is so very special to me .. I know you are the one I want to give all my care to for the rest of my life

You..you who are so special, so lovely in every way .. you whose heart I have fallen so hard for

Sweetie, I always want you to know..

I love you so very much

Forever Yours

--

I'll never stop loving you...never

--

Dear Beautiful,

Through talk of a beautiful future..

Through talk of dreams, of desires, of an amazingly purposeful life, for His kingdom

I am in awe

I am in awe God chose me to bless with your wonderful heart..

To know personally all the beauty His hand can place into someone -- my dear, you have it

I'll never stop loving you..I know it

I see in us a life lived not just for this earth, for the dirt that sifts under our feet, but for the love of a Savior who's grace is so very needed to so many a heart..

I know how very special our time will be together..

So special that every moment will filling my heart with such ever present love for you -- yes my darling, you inspire me in love I've truly never experiened before..

When we laugh together, sing together, pray together, or even just sit quietly together..every moment will be held special to me

Darling with all the time we have left in our lives together, I know my heart will be soothed and put at peace by being in such a beautiful place

Sweetheart..I love you, with all my heart -- I always, always will

:]

Forever Yours

Through days, through nights..

--

Dear Beautiful,

It's not just those ever perfect times when I could look into your beautiful eyes..

See your perfectly adorable grin that makes me smile on, and on..

Not just those moments when I can run my hand across your cheek and look at how beautifully sweet my wonderful Katie can be

Truly, every one of those moments is special

But even when I noticed that you want to name a cat Tomkins, and a dog Wally Wallafred

When I hear your laugh across the smile as we jabber on and on about elephants with pants, or ridiculous tv shows, or our own antics throughout the day in reference too everyone who sees us..

When these little but special things to me make me realize that our love is based on so much more then just, affections, or mutual care..

Beyond every bit of that, my days, and my nights with you, are spent in perfect happiness at all, we are

When I can think about you, and realize that truly, I am the man in every disney movie I've ever watched, who has been lucky enough to meet the princess, and have her love him with her whole heart..

Sweetheart, you are my princess..you will be for all and every moment of the rest of my life

You may not have a crown, or a crystal slipper, or a beautiful gown for every moment of your every step..

But your smile is that of someone so utterally beautiful that when you smile, the rest of the world smiles with you

You see life with eyes of love -- that when you gaze on the world around you, you see the perfect hand of your ever watchful Father..

Every part of you is truly as a princess is -- beautiful, graceful, and oh so loving

I love you so, so very much darling

You are the light of my eyes, the sunshine of my day, and the star of my sky

Forever and ever

I will always, always be yours

:]

Forever Yours

You shine so bright, darling..

Dear Beautiful,

Today is our very first valentine's day together

It means so very much to me!

When I couldn't sleep last night -- as I paced back and forth, tossed and turn, unable to find a place of rest..

The thought of your smile gave me hope

In the darkest room, alone and by myself, you still were my shining star through it all...

Knowing I had someone who was praying for me, caring for me, so completely loving towards me -- it gave me hope

Knowing my own desire to spend every hour, every minute, every breath with you, for the rest of my life, gave life to my prayer through those quiet moments

Truly, sweetheart, you weren't even here with me, and yet I could still feel your care all the way across the miles

I can tell so quickly, so beautifully, how much I'll look forward to every Valentine's Day from now on

One's spend there in your presence, where I can wrap my arms around you and tell you how much I, care for you

How much I love you

It's because I always will, forever and ever

You shine so bright for me -- and you're someone I'm going to care for, to love, for the rest of my life

:]

Hey...I love you!!

Forever Yours

--

My heart..

--

Dear Beautiful,

Oh how I miss you

Words can't express it

Really, they can't

I seem to have been unable to find words the entire day -- going from one happy moment of thinking about you, to the next disheartening moment of realizing you aren't here anymore

I do love you, with all my heart

It's the reason my chest tugs and pulls when I realize I'm not with you -- the reason my heart hasn't been able to find happiness in any part of my day

Not being able to see that beautiful smile, hold you in my arms, or just be present with you has left an empty feeling my heart has never felt before

Never have I loved someone so much

Never have I missed someone so much

Just know that I love you..so, so very much

My only joy comes from knowing I will spend the rest of my life with you -- every moment

I miss you so, so so so much sweetheart

And I love you with my whole heart

Forever Yours

Today

--

Dear Beautiful,

No more distance, no more a thousand miles, or 750 miles, in fact, today, tonight, we'll be together again

There is nothing which can contain how absolutely happy I am

I know when I wake up in the morning I'll be just as excited as I am now

Knowing that truly the most beautiful girl I've ever met is coming to see me..

That her attentions have looked on me as someone special to her

That you, you who are so special to me, you...will finally be back in my arms

Well, it makes my heart skip a whole lotta beats

God has been so very faithful to us, in bringing us together, in cultivating a love so strong it gets only stronger even though we are distant -- truly you and I are meant to me

Before you know it, it won't be a plane ride separating us anymore, but a car trip, made every night..to give my most beautiful wife a kiss on the lips and a "I love you" -- for the rest of my life

But until then

We have tonight

Gosh, i can't wait to see you

:] :] :]

Forever Yours

--

Knowing you're this close..

--

Dear Beautiful,

There isn't much time left now till you and I are reunited again..

The space which separates us can't hold us any longer

Watch it disappear in just under two days

Can you believe it?

I most certainly haven’t been this excited for something in a long, long time

The girl of my dreams, the most beautiful, special girl, to ever come into my life, is coming to see me

Gosh...the amazingness of just everything completely awes me

First, you, the most special girl I have ever met, chose me -- I'll never get over that

And now, I'm going to be able to spend that treasured, amazing time with you

Every moment of it will be so very precious to me

Darling I know these bits and pieces of our lives we've been able to spend together are only precursors

Before you know it, we'll be looking back on these days -- to the time when we were "kids", still completely in love just as always

We'll look back -- 10, 20, 50 years into the future

Just as in love as we are know

Hey..

I love you

Forever Yours

--

There is no one else for me..

--

Dear Beautiful,

Do you see in yourself what I see in you?

I would hope everyone would..

When I look at you, I don't just see someone beautiful, formed by the hand of the most masterful artist to ever convey his work upon humanity..

I see so much more then that

I see happiness dance in your adorable green eyes

I see your smile -- filled with more then just mere joy -- a show of all your care, love, beauty

It may just be romantic words, but I see your heart

It's certainly bigger then most -- far deeper and more vast then any other normal heart I've ever met

I am amazed it looks upon me as something special to it

You, darling, I see in you more then just a lovely young woman who has already used her life for the care of others

I see His light in you

I see His mission in you, His purpose

It graces you from the tips of your toes to the crown of your head

Can I always be a part of your beautiful life?

That's all I could ever want

I love you, my darling beautiful katie

:]

Forever Yours

--

Your care is so very special to me..

--

Dear Beautiful,

When you tell me that you were thinking about me, worrying about me, it's something I take very close to heart

My life has been filled with wonderful friends, loving family, just everything that God has blessed me with..

But when I hear that someone I love with my whole heart truly worries that I'm ok, that everything is well with me, that is so, so very special about me

I know you are the one, that I love you with my whole heart, and when I know i'm on your heart too, it just speaks wonders to me

I love you so very much my ever sweet ever loving Katie

Please know that even in our distance your name is written across my heart

We're only three days now darling -- three days till I can hold you in my arms again

Three days till we can sit and watch the emperor's new groove, together!

Three days till finally everything in my life makes sense again -- all because in my heart I'll know that the one I love is with me again

Your absence has been hard -- not having you here with me

But I know it has only deepened in me my love for you

Deepened that knowledge that as long as it takes, you are the one I want to care for

You are the one I want to take care of -- for the rest of my life

I love you

:]

Forever Yours

--

Truly knowing, truly loving..

--

Dear Beautiful,

I am the type now to truly know that I am truly be in love -- such a thing that I have never truly known before..

Ask my friends, my family, anyone close to me

They'll tell you

They tell me how they know how deeply I care for you, and how my thoughts and my words continually seem to dwell on you

In the best way, I have finally found you

Finally found the one that I know I want by my side for the rest of my life

To go somewhere to look at God's creation, or somewhere to buy a swell sounding kazoo, or somewhere to watch the emperor's new groove...disney world, europe, our very own house - yes, I want every part of that life -- you and me

I know God has brought together two hearts just set for one another..in His will, in His plan

My darling Katie -- you should know, I am so very much in love with you

I know I will be for the rest of my days -- throughout sunrise and sunset -- through sunny day and storm -- you and I will remain..together

I love you

:]

Forever Yours
