My Love Song

by MsYvesDaffodil on Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 1:05am ·

Love is like listening to a love song...

As the song plays you stop at whatever you’re doing,

you savor the moment and you feel and think about all that’s beautiful.

You sing with it, smile at it and sigh on it.

But when the music ends...

you stand on your feet, do what u have to do next, and say

I’ll hear that song again and by that time I'll know the words

and I'll sing with it and its all gonna be easy”…

When you love, everything stops at that moment

and all you’ll do is smile and just feel

all the love deep within your being…

But when it ends, don’t let the hurt wallow in you.

Know that it ended for a reason…

and someday… someday…

there will be someone who will be singing that song

WITH YOU…a music that he will never let it end =)

Love Is ..

Only you can say what love really is for you, but then maybe I can help you define it by telling you what I believe it is not.

Despite what most people think, love isn't selfless.
You don't love for the sake of other people.
All emotions are selfish, self-centered.
No one can force you to feel anything other than what you really feel.
Emotions never lie, people just misinterpret or disregard them.

Love can't be "learned".
You can't "learn to love" someone you don't love.
You just delude yourself into liking them.
Love isn't alms.
You don't love someone because you feel sorry for him or her.
That's not love. That's just pity.

Love isn't need.
It's not love when you expect the other person to fill a gap in your life.
If that need disappears or is filled by something or someone else, then the supposed "love" disappears too.
If you love someone because you want security or happiness or contentment from him or her, you're not going to get those things if they're not within you in the first place.

Love isn't "completion".
You're already complete as you are, you just need to discover and acknowledge it.
It's not love if you think you need someone to feel complete.
If that feeling doesn't come from you, you're not going to get it anywhere else.

Love isn't just a "feeling".
It is both felt and known.
Your emotion and reason must be in sync.
"Love" without reason is just lust or shallow attraction.
"Love" without emotion is simply justification and rationalization.

Love isn't just in the present.
You have to love who that person was and who that person will be.
Love isn't supposed to drive you crazy.
It's not supposed to wreak havoc on your life.
Love is suppose to inspire you into being the best possible version of yourself.

Dear You (my Wonderful),

I will admit that sometimes I really do wonder if you exist.There is a part of every little girl’s heart that envisions her prince charming. At age three, it is usually of a man who can save her from the wrath of an evil stepmother, wake her from eternal slumber or give her that true love’s kiss.In elementary school, he becomes the boy with the least cooties, the one who’s willing to cross the playground to share his Oreos even if it makes him a target for the week of all the other boys.Come high school, it’s that boy you stand with at prom, who your father stared down at the door, who provided you with an experience complete with photos you will cringe at a decade later, a corsage that yellows in the refrigerator, and a faded memory of a night that seemed almost too magical to be real.Twenty nine years into this life, however, and still unwilling to give my heart away, I am still that same little girl who hopes for her prince charming. And although I wonder why it has taken you this long to sweep me off my feet and whisk me off to your palace on horseback, I know that it is probably because meeting you will be better than any fairytale I could’ve read as a kid.A couple of heartbreaks and a few years wiser though, I will admit that there are times when I question your existence. Because I have yet to meet the guy who makes me hear songs like “All My Life” or “A Whole New World” in my head when I see him does not mean I don’t hope that it’ll ever happen.I may already know you or may still meet you someday—something I leave completely up to God because I’m pretty sure our story will be epic. However, I can’t promise you that I’d make the world’s most perfect princess. In fact I’ll probably keep you on your toes and amuse you with my eccentricities—there are a lot of them. I’ll probably steal a bunch of your T-shirts and turn them into shirt dresses, or drive you slightly mad with my obsessive compulsivity and my need to fix your collar constantly.I can promise to be your best friend however—that person you can rant to after a rough day, the hand you can hold when you get sad, or the person you can text when situations get awkward.I’ll probably mess up your hair sometimes and hug you for too long, but that’ll only be because I absolutely adore you. I’ll bury my head in your shoulder during scary movies and make you feel like superman when you kill those flying cockroaches that really shouldn’t exist. I’ll cook your favorite food on your birthday and try my best to make friends with your mom.I’ll respect your nights-out with the boys and make you seem like the perfect guy to my barkada. I’ll watch basketball or soccer games with you, and not complain when you cheer too loudly at the TV set.I’ll know the difference between giving you space and being constantly there for you—even if it means sitting and playing video games with you or taking hot chocolate runs when it rains.I’ll listen to your music and we’ll go on epic adventures together—seeing the world, taking awesome pictures, eating awesome food, and never running out of things to tell each other along the way.I won’t be waiting for you to sweep me off my feet and take me on a magic carpet ride, because I know I won’t need anything like that to fall for you—I will love you for you.You will be that someone to make goofy faces with in pictures, to lace fingers with when I’m lonely, and to take long walks under the stars with on the beach.You’ll be the guy who takes me the way I am—and will laugh as I burst into Disney song or pick out pink wallpaper.You’ll be that someone I envision a future with—us filling out visa forms as we travel the universe, picking out our first dog together and arguing about what to name it, or being snap-happy stage parents in our preschooler’s annual mini-plays. And I keep hoping that maybe someday when we find each other, you will become that someone whose smile I wake up to in the morning and the last one I speak to every night.So to the man I know does exist, and who will help me maybe make sense of the world someday, this man I can’t wait to love. Please know that I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. But for now, I wait. Fingers crossed and palms held together, I hope that you’re out there somewhere, waiting for me, too.With the hope I will be yours for always.


Love,
Your Beautiful

You keep me Amazed

You dance over me, while I am unaware. You sing all around, but I never hear the sound. Lord I'm amazed, by you. Lord I'm amazed at how you love me.

You paint the morning sky, with miracles in mind. My hope will always stand,for you hold me in your hands. Lord I'm amazed, by you. Lord I'm amazed at how you love me.

How deep, how wide, how great is your love for me! Lord I'm amazed, by you. Lord I'm amazed at how you love me.

I can never comprehend this love. you hem me in and out. Tears just fall in my eyes, your greatness I cannot compare. I stand amazed by you. You keep this heart shouting. I stand in awe of you. This mouth does not have the right words to speak of your love, your beauty, your majesty, your greatness, your magnificence, your wonder, your Being. Lord I'm amazed at how you love me
Lord, I love how you keep me amazed!!

Your Words

by MsYvesDaffodil on Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 10:14pm ·

For so long I've been loving you from a distance
Because I was afraid of your silence
Because your silence speaks to me more deeply
than any words could ever say
Because I was afraid of who I would be when I was alone with you
Because I didn't wanna be rejected

For so long I've been loving from a distance
Holding myself hostage to the sound of you
Running away from the thought of you loving me so deeply
That I would lose myself and never be able to find who I used to be

For so long I've been trying to love you from a distance
But I can't even survive without you
You are not only the air I breathe
You are the lungs I breathe with
And without you there is this vacant void that causes me to collapse are the center of who I am
And that's what I mean when I say "You're breathtaking."
You care for me with a gentleness that made me want to love you more than I ever thought possible
And I want to give all of my heart to you even thought I have no idea what it feels like

You love me privately
Publicly
Lonely
Lovely
or ugly
And I want to give you the keys to every room in this house I call my heart
And that means nothing is off-limits to you.
