When Love Begins, Florence

 

I always knew that love would come find me someday,
but never did I know that it would be you who was headed my way.
You caught me off guard and took me by surprise,
but you simply captivated me, the same way you do when I look into your eyes.

It's true that every good and perfect gift is from above.
You were presented to me as a beautifully packaged gift full of humor, talent, intelligence, beauty and love.
"It isn't finding the perfect person but learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
We all have our flaws, but when I view you through my eyes, perfection is all I see.

From when you laugh to when you're upset, I still love the little things you do,
especially hearing you laugh and seeing your nose wrinkle the same way mine does. too.
Coming into this relationship has been hard at times, but we've made it through.
I know as long as we're on this journey together, there's nothing that we can't do.

Sometimes I wonder if what we have is too good to be true.
Too scared to get my heart broken and scared of the thought of losing you,
but in the end, I trust in the author and perfecter of what I believe
because what we ask for in Him, we in return shall receive.

"Where your treasure is, your heart will be also" is how the saying goes.
I may not know what tomorrow may bring, for God is the only one who knows.
The one thing I do know is that you are my one and only,
a treasure in my heart that I want to devote my whole life to completely.

I know I don't need to prove my feelings to know they're true
because what I've known in my past doesn't come close to the experience I've shared with you.
I've had the experience of being in relationships before,
however, this is the first time I've been truly happy... I couldn't ask for anything more.
It's an honor to know that I am yours, as you are mine,
and I trust God that He'll bring us together in His beautiful time.

For now, I'll be waiting patiently for that day when we'll be together,
that precious moment in time when I'll say, "It's you that I want to be with forever."
God made everything beautiful, precious and new,
just as beautiful and precious as the day will be, when I look into your eyes and say, "I Love You."

Mora, Abdulah Sidran

Što to radiš sine?

Sanjam, majko. Sanjam, majko, kako pjevam,

a ti me pitaš, u mom snu: što to činiš, sinko?

O čemu, u snu, pjevaš, sine?

Pjevam, majko, kako sam imao kuću.

A sad nemam kuće. O tome pjevam, majko.

Kako sam, majko, imao glas, i jezik svoj imao.

A sad ni glasa, ni jezika nemam.

Glasom, koga nemam, u jeziku, koga nemam, 

o kući, koju nemam, ja pjevam pjesmu majko.

Unending Love by Rabindranath Tagore

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,

That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,

In life after life, in age after age, forever.

Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age-old pain,

It’s ancient tale of being apart or together.

As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,

Clad in the light of a pole - star piercing the darkness of time:

You become an image of what is remembered forever.

You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.

At the heart of time, love of one for another.

We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same

Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell—

Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.

Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you

The love of all man’s days both past and forever:

Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.

The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours— 

And the songs of every poet past and forever.

Come, and Be my Baby, Maya Angelou

 

The highway is full of big cars

going nowhere fast

And folks is smoking anything that’ll burn

Some people wrap their lies around a cocktail glass

And you sit wondering

where you’re going to turn

I got it.

Come. And be my baby.

Some prophets say the world is gonna end tomorrow

But others say we’ve got a week or two

The paper is full of every kind of blooming horror

And you sit wondering

What you’re gonna do.

I got it.

Come. And be my baby.
