A Silly Old Romantic...

[69forever]

Good Morning Romantics.....

Romance. It's lighting candles and setting them around the tub. Running a bubble bath for two. Soft music playing. Gentle kisses and caresses. Washing each others back and snuggling close. Softly talking of things done and yet to do.
Dreams, fears and hopes. Intimate sharing that gets lost in the day to day rat race of life and it's struggles.

Romance is that slow dance, hands running up sides, gathering each other close.
A kiss that makes two....one. Leading to the bedchamber, trembling in desire of fullfillment. Romance is that desire to please your partner more than yourself, watching, feeling and bringing them to the edge.

Romance is....

I see me with you and all the things you do
Keep turning round and round in my mind
Forget the weather we should always be together
And any other thought is unkind

To have you with me I would swim the sevens seas
To have you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together tonight

We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah

I see you with me and all I want to be
Is dancing here with you in my arms
Forget the weather we should always be together
I'll always be a slave to your charms

To have you with me I would swim the seven seas
To have you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together

Call me baby. You can call me anything you want
Call me baby Call me Just call me
We'll be together, yeah
We'll be together, yeah

I see you with me and baby makes three
I see me with you and all the things we do
Forget the weather we should always be together
I need you as my guide and my light
My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together We'll be together tonight

Sitting here studying and sorting out the last of the boxes from the move, listening to a CD or 5. Afraid and more content than a long, long time. Uncertain and yet determined. Contrary emotions for sure. Kind of like what someone special is feeling. I don't think she really understands how connected I am to her feelings through my love for her. These next few song lyrics say how I feel quite nicely.

Crash and Burn
Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door
And you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

An Innocent Man
Billy Joel

Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by

Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie

I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am

Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before

Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore

I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand

Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began

Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man

I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

 

[Satin Kitty 69]

In my love's eyes there holds a trust I will not break,
regardless of life's thorny path
for he matters more than deadlines and dues.

In his kiss a promise that will last eternity
and a desire rippling beneath the surface
calling for unity of our bodies and souls.

In the quiet moments when we first wake
the new days calls for us to arise
but it is he who calls me to find a sweet reality

Good evening romantics...

Just because I love this song. Actually a duet version It is for someone.

Love Is
Vanessa Williams

They say it's a river, that circles the earth
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe
it conquers all, it changes everything

They say it's a blessing, they say it's a gift
they say it's a miracle
and I believe that it is
it conquers all, but it's a mystery

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
and it fades away so easily

In this world we've created
in this place that we live
in the blink of an eye the darkness slips in
love lights the world
unites the lovers for eternity

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
to the beauty that remains

Look at this place
it was paradise, but now it's dying
I'll pray forlove
I'll take my chances that it's not too late

Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
and fades away so easily

Oh oh oh

Love breaks the chains
Love aches for everyone of us
Love takes the tears and the pain, and it turns it in-
to the beauty that remains

There is a dance of two souls that may not come along everyday.
I hope if I meet my dance partner I have enough sense to realize
who he is.....

Yanno...sometimes I think of all the pieces of my heart I've given out over the years....and I feel the holes left in that heart....I get sad....but then upon thinking it over more closely....I know that I have so much more than someone who never loves.

You might understand that, my friend...but I'm sure not many will.
Only us romanitics....the ones who stand back up and face love again...

Good Lord. More than a bit pensive tonight. Reflecting on where this heart has been, where it is and where it is going. Heh....going grocery shopping, listening to Savage Garden and reading this. I don't regret any of it. All part of as you say, loving that some people never know. Growth and learning.

I remember about two years ago, talking of starting a thread like this. *was it that long?* We were just friends talking....and unknown, becoming more. Funny how life gives and takes.

We've had the highest highs and lowest lows together. Yanno, I think I can count on two hands, maybe less, the cross words or feelings we've shared. We've morphed, grown through it all. And many do not comprehend how we have done it. Life is to short....you and I know this. We can and do share an unconditional love that will transcend any future relationship we have with another. On a different plane than before....but there.

If only the rest of the world would get that....what a wonderful life this would be.

Hugs and Kisses,
~S~

Jeez....that was ages ago that I wrote that. It almost felt like I was reading someone else's words.

We have been through a lifetime of events together in this short time.
Thank you for being there for me no matter what it has taken. You will always be a part of me and my soul. No one or anything could ever change that.
We've learned from each other things that others will never know.

I love you more than anyone can understand.

*sniffs* <blowing nose and wiping eyes> We're saps and yet so much more.

Yeah, two years and all that's transpired does seem a lifetime. At my age that's saying a lot. LOL! You've done the same, my friend. Knew across time and distance when I needed a shoulder or ear. It's a mutual connection, unspoken that we have. From friends to lovers to family.

Through it all....and what many will never know, is unconditional love. Romance on different levels. I'm blessed knowing and loving you.

Wow

This IS the "Romantic" thread.

*slips out*

If not for a promise, I'd say more. Much more. There is only ONE. For now, I can live with this.


Be Here to Love Me
Norah Jones

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,
I want you to stay
Just to hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Well, the moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on to the sky
The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me to ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothin' to say
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today

 

[69forever]

Sometimes things happen to make a man question....
Will there ever be an end to these long, lonely nights?
You want to believe this love is for real....
To trust what your heart and soul feel.
In the darkest of hours....
There just aren't any flowers
Only tear's on a pillow.

Right Here Waiting
Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted,all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter,I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh,can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh,can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Good afternoon romantics....

Just leaving a song for someone always on my mind and in my heart.

Now and Forever
Richard Marx

Whenever I'm weary
From the battles that raged in my head
You made sense of madness
When my sanity hangs by a thread
I lose my way, but still you
Seem to understand
Now and Forever,
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see
I'm holding a fortune
That Heaven has given to me
I'll try to show you
Each and every way I can
Now and Forever,
I will be your man

Now I can rest my worries
And always be sure
That I won't be alone, anymore
If I'd only known you were there
All the time,
All this time.....

Until the day the ocean
Doesn't touch the sand
Now and Forever
I will be your man

Now and Forever,
I will be your man..

I love you.

 

[69forever]

'Cause it's how things happen sometimes. Maybe just how I'm feeling at the moment. Who knows. Lack of communication leads to a lot of feelings. Some right, some wrong. See, if you don't take the time to talk.....it leads to this.

There's a reason for the one unchangable thing in my sig. line......my words that I put in a wedding card for a friend. Both families opposed the match, but they were in love. I could see it in every nuance of their being......together.

Love Is The Answer..... Communication Is The Key.

Sometimes in the hectic stress of everyday life, I forget.

Hold Me
Savage Garden

Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Hey Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I wanna scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me

Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

 

[69forever]

Good evening romantics...

Watching "The Horse Whisperer". Robert Redford says a line that just grabs the soul in speaking of his ex.....

"Wasn't about if it was wrong or right....it was love."

No matter if things work out or not....I'll never stop loving. It's lifes breath.

Almost Paradise
~ by Ann Wilson & Mike Reno


I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close
They'd fall apart again

I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you?

Whoa
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise

It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must have read my mind

And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands

Whoa
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise

And in your arms salvation's not so far away
It's getting closer
Closer every day

It's almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise

Whoa
Almost paradise
We're knockin' on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise

Paradise
Paradise

Oman....all I can ever do is bow my head and smile for the happiness you and Jenny have. I know life's not a beach. Things....no satisfaction, come to some of us who seek it only after a long and arduous quest.

I'm not giving up my friend. I want and need what ya'll have.

 

[whspr]

For some reason, the holidays make me reflect on my life and I become melancoly....Been listening to this song...pulls at my heart strings...miss so many people who meant alot to me.....

Home Lyrics
by Michael Buble


Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aerorplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

 

[babydoll2u]

I love that song... ^

 

[omahaman2]

You’d think that people would have had enought of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn’t so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what’s wrong with that?
I’d like to know, ’cause here I go again
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
I can’t explain the feeling’s plain to me, say can’t you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can’t you see,
What’s wrong with that
I need to know, ’cause here I go again
I love you, I love you

Love doesn’t come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn’t come at all
I only know that when I’m in it
It isn’t silly, no, it isn’t silly, love isn’t silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)
How can I tell you about my loved one?
