......i have always held to the
feeling that it is so easy to fall
in love......the hard part is falling
in "like" with someone! 

It has been 
some sort of unexplainable event
that has brought you into my life.

I have never believed in coincidence.
All events occur for a reason. I try
to never question any (which does
become very difficult at times). Your
entrance into my world has been 
beyond what my limited use of words
could ever express.................

indeed, your presence brightens my
days, sweetens my coffee and colors
my dreams.......
please stay for a while.

There has never been a feeling like this I have with you. 
I could try to find the right words for it....................but I won't.

There has never been a day in my life when I have felt happier than our time together.
I could try to express this in a better way....................but I won't. 

There could be a better way of saying “I love you” each time I say it to you. 
I could look for a new way of defining it....................but I won't. 

There might be a more proper way of expressing my love for you,
rather than the way I stumble over my words and feelings.
I could perhaps seek lessons on proper etiquette....................but I won't. 

There could be a more mature way of greeting you each time I see you,
rather than kissing you through tears of joy and happiness. I could try to learn more discipline and control....................but I won't.

Waking this morning with the most wonderful
and loving thoughts of you.
Remembering our first “hello”,
being so thankful you took the time to notice.

Smiles brought with sweet memories of neither
being able to say “good-night”.
Silly laughter covering the obvious.
What a wonderful walk we have taken.

Holding hands, silly giggles,
secret kisses, sly winks.
Falling in love with you,
all over again, with each step taken.

Loving thoughts of our times spent together,
each memory being a portrait masterpiece.
We have traveled so far together.
Looking so forward to the rest of the journey.

Each day, this love shows through.
Colors shining brighter than ever shone before.
Having you in my life has certainly been Heaven-sent.
Feeling the Angels presence the day you entered my life.

The smiles shared, with each saying
more than the one before.
Love being shared, as it was meant to be.

Two worlds forming one.
Messages being sent forth on a 'sea of love'...
Delivered by wave after wave of happiness.
Feelings spoken directly with the heart.
Words being said that have never been said before.

Somehow, they all seem so very natural as does
this precious and special love we are sharing.

Our forever days have come to their end.
A love, even made in heaven,
can’t exist without life.
Having your love to hold,
even for but a moment
in time was indeed a wonderful moment.

Someone to share with sure made
everything so much better.
Of course we both knew we were
only fooling our hearts.

I even managed to fool myself for a while.
Saying goodbye like this is so very hard for me.

Not saying it is, indeed, harder for both of us.
You would allow our charade to continue,
rather than hurt me with the truth.
And for that I thank you.

However, life must be allowed to grow.
This love we had must be allowed to rest in peace.
Saying goodbye is being said with a very heavy heart.
But, I really knew, from our first kiss,
that the day, however far away at was,
would have to come.

I knew you had to leave

So much thanks must be given for this
friendship you and I share.
Such a wonderful gift we exchange daily.
Each given unconditionally and with
so much love.

Your belief in me has allowed me to believe in myself.
What a wonderful feeling that is.

Thanks given for listening to all my failures
and troubles.
More thanks for being there for my successes
and achievements.

You have never allowed me to forget just “who I am”.
While always reminding me of “why I am.”
Thanks for those wonderful handshakes and hugs.
So glad you loaned me your shoulder on occasion,
never questioning why it was wet.
Thanks for those times I needed you the most.

What wonderful advice you have given when needed.
Especially those where not a word was spoken.
At the end of each day, I am reminded of just how
lucky I am for our friendship.

Thanks for being a friend.
Thanks for sharing.

The words have all been spoken.
All been said before, each and every one.
Now, the feelings begin to take over.
Feelings held deep within, hopes they wouldn’t become a part
of this world we once danced through.

Feelings coming to life, taking control,
or rather, losing control.
Arms aching so much from their reaching out.
Hands hurting from trying to hold on.

Saying goodbye has indeed, all been said.
Words have all come to their end.
Feeling goodbye now begins its journey.
Knowing within my heart, this journey will never end.

I saw him again today looked right at him looked deep within his soul oh sure, I turned away he stared me down, once more How long ago? How far away? Memories of memories blocking my view fears once thought forgotten brought to the surface pain is remembered breathing once again back to life indeed, a life of its own I saw him today looked directly at him didn’t really like who I saw sure made shaving easier though

I will stand again. Maybe not as tall as once before, but I will stand again I will walk again. Walking may be a bit unsteady at first, but I will walk again. I will see again. Being blinded by my feelings for you is only temporary. I will see again. I will smile again. Smiling is not a sin. Simply a language I forgot for a while. I will smile again. I will love again. Because that is what living is. I will love again! ©1997 Frank B. Holcomb

Reaching out ~ softly touching ~ gentle smiles
What a wonderful gift ~ holding hands
You have allowed me to enjoy what once was taken for granted
Knowing you are here ~ somehow assures me of just where I am
Having you reach out when needed gives so much comfort
Your reaching out ~ when not needed ~
this is a gift only those truly in love can understand and share
So much comfort ~ so much giving ~ so much sharing
Holding your hand means you are also holding mine
both being held ~ both holding ~
both becoming one
What a lovely path we are sharing ~
this path to your heart! ©Frank B. Holcomb_1997

I believe today is a gift, as is each day.

I believe "Victory" is within, as is "Defeat".

I believe the world does not revolve around me, but rather a Sacred Trust, which I need to reflect on daily.

I believe that "events" do happen for the best, never forgetting I am only a guest here.

I believe this path I am walking is of my own choosing. These feelings I hold are true and sincere. 

I believe life is for living. 
Smiles are for giving. 
Love is for sharing. 

I believe in you. 
I believe in me. 
I believe in us.

.....thinking of you, sweet thoughts all. .....holding your hand, without your being there. .....crying your tears, while kissing them away. .....laughing your laugh, bringing you happiness. .....sharing your soul, baring my own. .....saving you the last of the butter pecan ice cream! ©Frank B. Holcomb
