Dear Sweet heart

I expect to go away from here for nearly a month on a spot of coastal duty. There's a scheme starting soon and we from the holding units have to relieve some of the field units while it is on. So far the job I mentioned of Asst. Adj. hasn't materialized as there isn't room in the present office and they are getting some rooms in another building ready.

Did I tell you that I miss you? And Anne and Karen? I'd give anything to

have one of them on each knee and read the Highwayman to them again and to

be able to look up and see you. Just being in the same room with you would

seem too good to be true right now.

It's amazing how much we said to each other without words - just a look, a touch of the hand and no need for speaking. So many things come to my mind when I think of you that my heart is full to overflowing. Nothing but happy memories of six delightful years together. Remember when we used to go out to Mimico from Spruce Court when Anna was small and had to "bounce" her every time the car stopped so she wouldn't yell.

And a host of others we both know so well. I'd like to read to you again, to bring Sunday's breakfast to you and watch Karen and Anne try to get most of it even after putting away one of their own. And I remember things even further back than that.

Lovely memories of times we took the Shepherd youngsters out in "Penelope" - rides in the evenings and Sundays out along the Humber, over toward Brampton and Streetsville and again they're all happy memories. Everything that concerns you is a memory of something lovely and the future looks good to me. With such a beginning and then this break that has made us realize just how fortunate we have been, the future can hold nothing else but long years of happiness for us. I love you!

And now sweetness it's nearly bed time so I'll say good-night to you and

sweet dreams. With all my love to you, Anne, Karen and Nanny, I'm.

"Yours"
David K.
P.S: I love you!
 

I met you in my Chemistry class last year. It took some time for both of us to come into terms with one another. I have never met a caring guy like you earlier. Even though we don't get much time to talk as before my love for you is still the same.But I don't know what you think of me. I only know that I can't get you out of my head. You have a Physics class after our Chemistry class. A fortnight ago when the class was over your physics teacher was absent. So we could talk much more than usual. I felt so close to you then. When I said that I was feeling cold you even offered me your jacket. Even though you didn't take it seriously it meant a great thing to me.

All I wish now is to have an idea of what you are thinking of me. One glimpse of you and one sweet smile from you cost me a lot now. I can listen to your voice as long as you want. What you say even for jokes mean me a lot. Sometimes I feel that I'm treading on one way street.But still I can't help thinking of you. I feel that you are encouraging me to study well. I have never felt like this for any other guy before. So, I don't know for sure whether this is love. All I know is that I feel close to you.

I only meet you once a week. The smile you offer me then is enough to keep me going for a week.The feeling I have for you is so unfamiliar and strange to me.But really I love that. When one Sunday is gone I look forward to the next Sunday when I will meet you. This is true when I say that my favourite day of the week is Sunday.

I only wish that if you haven't still felt my love for you, try to understand it.

'Love' as you feel?

Love is a wonderful and unexplainable sensation.

What's the worst memory in your love life?

I have a few bad memories in my love life. But finally I met my soul- mate and now I'm happily leading a marriage life.

And the best memory?

Marriage

Does 'genuine love' exist in the world today?

Yes. To a certain extent it exist in the world. Today love has become an artificial thing.

Do you think a love affair should always end up with the marriage?

No.

Can a busy person be a good lover?

Definitely a busy person can be a good lover.

When you are going to choose a partner what factor would you consider most.....that person's beauty or the level of intelligence?

Both.

My Love

Your dreams are mine,
Your happiness
My destination.
Your today is my present,
Your tomorrow
My future.
My darling, you and your love
are inseparable part of
My LIFE

Love Hurts

love is like a knife
it hurts when it cuts you
love is this pain in my body
it never goes away
it stays for days and days
love hurts
love is like a broken leg
it feels like it will never heal
love is like a heart attack
it surprizes you
love hurts
be ready when you fall in love
you will be hurt
because
love hurts
