tink of a number.........now double it.......add 20 to that....now half that number.....and the number you 1st tought of take it away..................could i be reading your mind if i said your left with 10.....

Tell me why my girlfriend of 3 years and fiance for 2 years just suddenly says that she thinks im not happy and how are we meant for each other if we argue all the time? But the thing is we didnt argue all the time and if we did it was only because i wanted her to be happy. she swore she was but her mood never changed and she always looked un happy she said it was her personality......Well recently we have broken up and im wondering why a girl would leave someone when they know that they dont want to and there is no good obvious reason.My sis is her best friend i know she wasn't cheating.she seems to be taking it harder than me and still tells me she loves me but we cant be together.WTF? is going on

Just gotta know ladies what can drive u to leave a great guy even if u dont want to?

I am an independent man who is capable of looking after himself. I am an accomplished cook and have no problem with taking care of the laundry and cleaning the house. I do the grocery shopping and I take care of the household bills. I have a close and loving family and friends who are loyal. I even have a couple of 'true' friends that I know I can call on day or night. I don't live a boring life and find myself out and about three or four nights a week - I even have a gig I play and sing at every Saturday night. I am happy in my own company and enjoy reading and listening to music. I keep myself in shape by getting out on my bike every day.

Why am I saying all of this?

Well there's a reason.

There is one thing missing from my life.

I don't have a partner to share my life with and I want the world to know that I truly want a partner and not someone to look after me. I can look after myself very well and don't need help in that regard.

So are there any woman out there that want to know someone like me? A man that is only interested in the person and not what that person can do for him?

I am patient and in no hurry. I am an optimist and I believe in love. I have also been through the hard knocks including heartbreak so I am not naieve. I adore strong and intelligent women and fear very little. Does anything I am saying resonate? If it does than contact me and lets see where it goes.

The woman for me will be happy with this.....



I will describe you as pretty instead of hot.

I will call you back after you've hung up on me.

I will point at you and say: 'She's the one.'

I will not be afraid to make a point and say I'm beyond all labels and wear the clothes I want to wear.

I will make you smile in the darkest hour, and I'm not afraid to cry in mine.

I will stay up just to watch you sleep.

I will kiss your forehead.

I will hold your hand in front of the whole world!

I will constantly remind you of how much you mean to me and how lucky I am to have you.

I won't be embarrassed to lay down on the wet grass with you to watch the stars.



I am the one to make you happy. Don't expect me to be clever, or witty, or handsome. Those things I can't choose to be. I'm not scared of loving you and I want everybody to know.



I sure will wait for the woman that would be happy with that.

The first time we met, I could see,
That you and I, were meant to be.
Your eyes were so gentle, your smile so true,
When you first held my hand, I just knew.

Now the time has gone by, through laughter and tears,
These days I shall cherish, for years upon years.
Those memories we have, shall never fade,
For those are the steps, that we have made.

That was the past, the future is near,
I anxiously wait, for what will appear.
New homes, more laughter, and children so dear,
Everything will be wonderful, as long as you're near.

Slow me down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision
of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and
muscles with the soothing music of the
singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring
power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations,
of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat
with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few
lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to
send my roots deep into the soil of life's
enduring values that I may grow
toward the stars of my greater destiny.

a little more poetry for those interested in such....


In the Quieter Moments

In the quieter moments I sometimes hear the whisper of your gentle voice on the wind and I want to cry because I no longer can hold you. I walk the spots we once shared and feel you there and a tear falls because I can no longer see you smile. As I ride
down the roads we traveled together I reach back to touch you and realize that I am painfully alone. When I am near the water I hear you calling yet never are you found leaving me with but a memory of your existence.

In the quieter moments I remember our love and lament in the things that you needed to hear that I left unsaid. Never will I forget that the one time I did not come in your time of need was the time you needed me most. The torment of that memory will be with me always as will our love and the things I left unsaid.

In the quieter moments, a tear falls as my heart cries quietly while it remembers how much I love you.......

While He Sleeps....

I stand at your door
and look at your tiny body so peacefully wrapped in slumber and wonder what it is that you dream.

I think back to a simpler time when I too had dreams and wonder if life will treat you better than it had me.

I silently pray that you will not walk in of my footsteps and yet in some ways I hope you do.

For now sleep my little one
and remember that your Daddy loves you......
