There is love of course. And then theres life its enemy.

When I first met you thats what I remember. I looked up at the sky and thought Im going to love this person because even the sky looks different.

When you meet someone so different from yourself in a good way you dont even have to kiss to have fireworks go off. Its like fireworks in your heart all the time. I always wondered do opposites really attract Now I know for sure they do. Id grown up going to the library as often as most people go to the grocery store. Jackson didnt need to read about exciting people or places. He went out and found them or created excitement himself if there wasnt any to be found. The things I like are pretty simple. Burning CDs around themes like Songs to Get You Groove On and Tunes to Fix a Broken Heart watching movies baking cookies and swimming. Its like I was a salad with a light vinaigrette and Jackson was a platter of seafood Cajun pasta. Alone we were good. Together we were fantastic.

Every time I read to her it was like I was courting her because sometimes just sometimes she would fall in love with me again just like she had a long time ago. And thats the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over

What is home My favorite definition is a safe place a place where one is free from attack a place where one experiences secure relationships and affirmation. Its a place where people share and understand each other. Its relationships are nurturing. The people in it do not need to be perfect instead they need to be honest loving supportive recognizing a common humanity that makes all of us vulnerable.

Yes I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark clouds have loomed over me. Let the rain come then if it must come And let it wash away the dust that hurt my eyes

Centrum permanebit.

Right now I had everything I could ask for. It wasnt a long list but it was a very satisfying one starting with the love of my life back in my arms.

Till I loved I never lived.

I have so much love for you I could fill rooms with it. Buildings. Youre surrounded by it wherever you go you walk through it breathe it...its in your lungs and under your tongue and between your fingers and toes... His mouth moved passionately over hers urging her lips apart. It was a kiss to level mountains and shake stars from the sky. It was a kiss to make angels faint and demons weep...a passionate demanding soul-searing kiss that nearly knocked the earth off its axis. Or at least that was how Poppy felt about it.
