A Silly Old Romantic...

[omahaman2]

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders. It's seen in the width of his arms that circle you.

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice. It's the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of his man isn't how many buddies he has. It's how good a buddy he is with his or "your" children.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work. It's in how he is respected at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits. It's how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't in the hair on his chest. It's in his heart...that lies within his chest.

The strength of a man isn't in how many women he's loved. It's can he be true to the ONE woman he's trying to love.

The strength of a man isn't the weight he can lift. It's in the burdens he can carry.

The strength of a man isn't in how much food he eats from your table. It's in the effort he puts forth when you are unable.

The strength of a man isn't in how he makes love. It's in the understanding that there is more to making love...than making love.

Just a Bump for the Ole Romantic



Truly, Madly, Deeply
Savage Garden

from "Savage Garden"

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on
A new beginning. A reason for living. A deeper meaning.

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me ...

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven then make you want to cry.
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest power. In lonely hours. The tears devour you.

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me ...

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on
A new beginning. A reason for living. A deeper meaning.


Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes 'cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come ...

I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do ...

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me ...


I want to stand with you on a mountain ...

Good morning romantics. May love fill your hearts and lite the way.

A young man saw an elderly couple sit down to lunch at McDonalds. He noticed that they had ordered one meal and an extra drink cup. He watched the man carefully divide the hamburger in half, than count out the fries evenly. than the man poured half the drink in the extra cup and set it in front of her. The old man than began to eat and the woman sat watching. The young man decided to ask if they would allow him to purchase another meal so they didn't have to split theirs.

The old man said," oh no, we've been married fifty years and everything has been and will always be shared fifty/fifty."

The young man than asked the woman if she was going to eat. And she replied, not yet, it's his turn with the teeth.

And yours as well filling your heart has always been the easy part for you


BTW Now that AV is YOU! *chuckle*

Haven't looked sinse this morning, very early.

I do declare, you presume a lot in knowing what it takes to fill my heart these days. Easy to love and loving folks in general is a quality I'm proud of. What it takes to fulfill me in love with a wench is another entirely. Heh.

Well, maybe not that different after all. Just degrees and depth of commitment.
Loyalty, honesty, service and gratitude extend to friends as well as lovers. It's just a matter of degree. Guess the difference between loving someone and being in love. I've learned the difference between the two along the road to patience.
Heh, patience and Aries ARE a contradiction of terms!!! But I'm light years ahead of where I was a couple years ago. Lessons learned.

Full circle? Yeah. It is at that. With a couple years of wisdom thrown in.

wow.....

Don't Be Scared
John Lennon

Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
Better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared

Don't be shy
Don't be shy
Don't be shy to tell
You may lose the chance to tell
Don't be shy

When your hearts are lit
Drop your survival kit
Then you never have to
Run or split

Sun in the east
Moon in the west
This boat's moving slow
There's no land in sight at all
Away we go

Don't be scared
Don't be scared
Don't be scared to love
It's better to love than never love at all
Don't be scared

Happy Mother's Day jazey. That goes for all the rest of the fine women here as well. Bless you.

Yeppy I am just a silly old romantic...and I do beleave in the truth...for you can never lose. For you that haven't got a clue...each of these were totally seperate from the other in timeing...I was said by one I was a player..now that was a laugh to several folks who know the truth....I know I will rufful some feathers...but this is Lit ..what else is new here.

One spins halves ...and butter never melts..which only lasted about two week maybe ok almost three weeks.. I ended it...and they still wanted to barge into a new relationship...I think of it as Grand Standing.

One wanted it in dark alleys..never wanting it to see day light..I wonder why..which ended quickly..I ended it...the problem for me was I never knew that she was still heartbroken over someone else ..of which I didn't know till later..a Sept love.

One had two on the string not to mentions me...good juggling act, but a nice person in all...I walked away..hopefully still remaining friends

One I regretted for I couldn't wait and I had gotten the wrong impression of what was going on...and they are such a nice person

One who I loved deeply...but I always told her to go if she found someone and she did...the nice part..she left a friend...I wish her and him many blessings ..she is a nice lady and fun was the time being with her.

Ah but aleast this is all now the past...time to move forward... Through all the past there has be one person..I own my sanity to...and their here but not here...LOL
The truth is never sugar coated..as love is never lied about or hiden...ask and you shall find what you seek.

The nice thing I never lied to any of these ladies and they all knew the truth going in....Just a silly old romantic here

No names were mentioned, but seeing as this is my house, I'll speak my piece.

Maybe it could be percieved as a contradiction. Being a hedonist and 'ole perv while also a consummate gentleman and romantic. Not to me....or many who know me in R/L. (I've followed through with relationships started here, whether just friends or more, in R/L whenever possible.)

I'm not married though, and I don't play games. Have I made some honest mistakes and errors in judgment? Of course. Did I EVER mean to harm someone?
NEVER!

When you've been married for decades, have no intention of leaving that relationship and use peoples feelings, love and trust for your own selfish gratification you lose the right to call yourself a romantic. Romantics have a code of ethics. A user portraying themselves as a romantic don't. IMHO

As for the woeful tales of leaving this one or that one...."here's a quarter, call someone who cares". The women involved know the truth.

I am a hopeless romantic also, and I find no shame in it. As my husband spends quiet a bit of time away from home we attempt to find ways to always keep it alive and I like to share it with others!

It is just wonderful to see others that feel exactly the same way.

Below are the lyrics to a song I sent to him the last time he was away...

Calico Skies by Paul McCartney

It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies
I will hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Long live all us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my...
For the rest of my life

{{{{{{ jasuma }}}}}} How very nice to see you join the tributes to a loved one here on the thread.

Given the chance and I believe the door is open for it, I'll have someone again.
Not to yearn for a holiday or when able, meeting of souls in a LDR. My heart and soul cannot live on that. I need a constant partner to love and cherish, to share all of life with.

 

[69forever]

Baby, I'm missing you this weekend. More than you could know. Thinking of something that you said, that took my breath away. It's there for us, I feel it in my soul. The past for both of us is the past. The future is ours to make.

Our House
Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)

I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase
That you bought today

Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you
Only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la,la,la, la,la, etc.

Something for K and T......

From This Moment On

I do swear that I'll aways be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better or worse, I will love you with
every beat of my heart.

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

 

[69forever]

that is so precious....

~sighs~ I'm struck....and pray things will work. I can't turn back the hands of time. But that I could. Then maybe, just maybe it took this for the both of us to come to this point. Who am I to question Lady Karma.


Since I Met You
Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)

In the time it takes to count
I'll be back and asking you
Is there more
Yes it is
All about your loving
I am yours
I can't get enough of your love
Since I met you

Might be all about I like
The things you say
I don't really care (do you?)
Either way
Yeah
Feeling very strong about you
I don't want to live
Without your love
Since I met you

I met you
I became a stronger man
Trying too hard
To prove too much before

If you're trying to relax
Don't ask questions
That will surely tax
You later on
You'll have your answer

Best of all you never worry
But always care
All you need to know is that
I am there
Yes I am
Don't know why you ever chose me
Heaven knows
We certainly have loved enough
Since I met you

Since I met you
Since I met you . . . (repeated)

I know you are darlin'... and I pray that everything works
well for you both.... you deserve it
