a.

You are the beauty I will never let go Throughout life you are the first and last thought I have as the day breaks and my mind starts to stir and even before I have opened my eyes my thoughts are of you and how you make me feel alive Lucky enough to wake up next to you each day is a day to savour the memories we’ll create and some days the world may feel against us but we are one taking on the world together as together we win All that keeps me going from morning till night is the beauty that you are and mean to me and it is beauty I will never let go Even the fondest of memories I look back upon and think of them as if they were yesterday as the smiles have grown from then until now remembering how we have grown is to show how we have learnt to become one and love I may not remember the first laugh we had together but there are numerous amounts of laughs we’ve had keeping the heart alive in love and in love with you You are the beauty I will never let go as you are my friend who became my love and letting go in not an option all I want is to hold you closer and keep you safe.

b.

The source of love From the naive heart came the words I always wanted to say to you: ‘I love you’ Words so pure I never thought of nothing else but there was never a good time to tell you what my heart wants to say about you so I stayed quiet thinking my own thoughts dreaming one day I’d say: ‘I love you’ My quiet voice always said these words but you never heard what I said that day so I smiled to you and said goodbye and as I waved I whispered to you: ‘I love you’ Naive was the heart but I knew it was you that my life was all for you to make me true I just never knew when was best to say those three little words to you: ‘I love you’ I didn’t know if you’d say it back my heart and my mind hoping you’d say it back say it back say it back to me with your heart of love for me or at least as a friend My quiet words simply said: ‘I love you’ My source of love was pure as love here was for no one else but you for my eyes fell in love with you truly deeper than I ever thought I would my eyes looked into yours and all they wanted to say is: ‘I love you’ A thousand smiles and the only one I’d remember is the one that was upon your face as it made my heart skip a beat for you hoping I’d meet you soon again making my heart skip and jump in the air I’ve never been this far in the sky but I found cloud number nine to lay and think of you I simply thought of those three little words: ‘I love you’. ​

c.

We’ll ride into the sunset We rode the horses on the shore as we explored the world and at that moment and in that time we were invincible What we saw with our eyes we’ll remember forever and together we saw the world in the same light Riding into the sunset that day we would have never have looked back as we would have been together with the world at our feet As the horses wanted to gallop away we kept our feet upon the ground our journey was far from over and we admired the view before we were on our way With a rainbow across the sky and with the setting sun the rain clouds came closer and time to ride back into reality We’ll always be riding into the sunset no matter what happens however I am in no rush to get to the setting sun to see the end of the day.

Walking the hills gives me time to think of how much I love you The beauty of the view is greater with you that will always be true no matter what I do I walk the hills by myself as it gives me time to get away from the built up world of life with time to sort my thoughts and think of you and what you mean to me and why I love you so To bide my time and think clearly I am happier inside with view of beauty I see with my eyes in front of me and within my mind I see the beauty that you are to me always grateful in this world to have both you and the view Walking hills and writing what comes from them is with you in mind as the effort it is to walk is of equal measures into making you happy as you deserve How a simple walk can give me time to be a better person and a better person to you and all around as my mind is forever thinking of how to make you happier To walk the hills is to escape what we know and to find and explore those memories and thoughts that rarely make their way into the world as there just isn’t time When walking I have only one aim and that aim is to be happy while walking I think of you and the joy that it is to be in awe of you as I sit upon the hill I pause for a few quiet thoughts Sitting in the presence of the beautiful view it soon becomes time to head back down the hill to where I started my journey once again with a clear mind and a heart that is now healthier The beauty of the walk and the beauty that you are helps keep me, being me and the journey we are on is a journey we are always on together no matter where you and I are in the world I will be walking with my heart in my hands and my thoughts of you in the front of my mind all for us and to work towards our happiness wherever our walk will take us.

e.

Age means nothing It doesn’t matter who you like who it is that you admire or who your heart falls in love with the age means nothing It’s how you spend your time together with the one you adore that defines who you are and what happiness there is You could be ten years older but it wouldn’t mean a thing as I’d spend every moment with you all because I have fallen for you You can’t defy who you like or who you adore and if you fall in love savour that time like you savour the day Age in time or time between age it doesn’t matter to me as you are the one I have fallen for the only one I need to be with Age means nothing but you mean everything to me.

We climb the hill together, we fall together (we then climb together again) Coopers Hill, Robinswood Hill or Churchdown Hill physically we walk together to fill our lungs with the air we breathe to be side by side each walk is a journey together and like life we walk as one We climb through the struggles helping eachother day by day when we fall, we fall together, only to stand back up brush ourselves down and hold each other and climb once more By climbing together we learn how strong we are together and when we aren’t strong enough we help each other to get to the top a few words of encouragement or a gentle push on the back it might just take to be the strength that the other one needs Hand in hand or mind over matter what does matter is that we are there for each other to get up and over that hill through thick and thin we stand strong to go forwards in what we do Life together may be like walking through a mountain range but we know there will always be greater views and greater moments together as we climb and enjoy what life has to offer us as we travel together.

As others fell away, we kept walking How many faces do you see slip away from once so often we forget faces we use to know Life takes its toll and we change when we grow yet through it all you have stood by me and we remember those faces as one day we’ll see them again As others fell away, we kept walking like we knew where we were going in life when actually we were just like everyone else we were finding our way through the unknown Never did we want anyone to fall away but life takes us on different journeys and these journeys take their time The paths that these journeys have created will one day cross over again and the faces will be known to us with time to find out how the journey has been As others fell away, we kept walking holding each other close and holding hands tightly making sure we never fell away to keep our hearts close with our journey’s path forever continuing As others fell away they were on their journey and we will one day find the paths that cross as our life journeys started together and friendships that are will never be forever fallen.

Hello beautiful where have you been Hello beautiful where have you been I’ve been searching for you all over the world Through forests, into caves and across the oceans I look and I looked but you weren’t found Every sun rise until every sunset I searched far and wide for you I waited and waited until the sun was gone only then did I rest until the light rose once again Then one day I woke up into life as it was looking no further than where I lay and I found you closer than I would have ever have known Where have you been hiding at this time have you been in my heart the whole way or is this the way I was suppose to find you writing my words of love to you and when the words start to make sense I suddenly find that you were with me all this time and right next to me Hello beautiful where have you been it’s like I’ve been on a long train journey I finally get to you with arms open wide walking up one final hillside to get to you You have never been far away from me.

Did our voices once travel through the telephone lines across the field? Did our voices once travel through the telephone lines across the field? for hours and hours we spoke down the line and we did not wonder where the words went from telephone to telephone we didn’t know how our words got to one another all we knew is that our words were all that we needed one another needed to hear I look at the telephone line as I catch my breath upon the hill I start to wonder if our words ever made it this way past the hill and down the lane did the hill and the lanes hear our words as well as we spoke for hours upon hours ever wondering if they could tell me how the words I spoke got to you from me The words we spoke I can still hear to this day but as the wind blows the words are swept away how the hills must have listened to our words and knew what love there was in each and every word yet never did they tell a soul as the words that were are forever for the people they were between To this day however I do not know if the words made it this way past the trees and through to the views in some way I would like to think so and the words of love would have been here for the the words we spoke were as beautiful and glorious as the land that the telephone line goes across If I followed the telephone line to where it went across the land and over hills far and wide would I find you at the end if it or even the words that I spoke to you in a giant heap on the floor? looking back and over the hill comes the rain the heavy clouds have threatened with all day the walk to find those lost words would have to wait for now and let the mind wander a little bit more.

The moment I realised that you were the one The moment I realised that you were the one was the first moment I saw you it was like I was dreaming and the everything else in the world just didn’t matter how did I know from that moment that everything in life was to be about you I had only just set my eyes upon you but something was felt from that moment until this very moment in which I have never felt any other way towards you but at the time how was it set in life that as soon as my eyes saw you I knew that you were the one for me and for the rest of my life ahead of me Even before any words were spoken I had this gut feeling about you it wasn’t like I leapt towards you shouting and screaming what I felt I stood back and I let nature run its course as this was a strange feeling a feeling of something so natural I knew I had to take my time to find out what it meant to me and indeed if it was meant to mean anything to you Soon enough we started to speak to one another and I had never heard such a beautiful voice a voice so calming I’d never felt like anything before when I was talking with you From that moment onwards I kept thinking how could I feel like I do even though I just met you I thought that this must be my mind playing games with me and thought the feeling would pass however I set to be wrong as what I felt has stayed with me for what seems like a lifetime It would appear love at first sight is indeed true and the moment I first saw you was the proof of that now living and loving with you by my side and in my mind and my soul forever more The moment that I realised that you were the one, I then realised that everything my life was for was to make you the happiest and looked after person that there could ever be all because from the first moment I saw you I knew that you were the one for me forevermore.

Undressing you with my eyes I try to reveal what your heart says about me Undressing you with my eyes I try to reveal what your heart says about me I see the real you and what it, if, is or at all it means to be close to me Each layer I peel back I see a new something of you which make my heart flutter yet there is nothing that means more to me than what you really think of me As you are deep within my heart and my heart can go no deeper for you I must see if what it is that I feel is somewhere within your heart So start to undress what I can see to get underneath the outside This isn’t about the physical attraction that the eyes peel away it is about your heart and mind and what they actually feel if anything like I do Undressing you with my eyes I close my eyes in the hope everything becomes clear I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming of you in my eyes and what I feel for you Your beauty is deeper than what is on the surface of the skin however what I see before me is more than any other beauty I have seen.

13th Hour As the hour approaches I feel like it isn’t time for me to go just yet no matter how long it has been I just don’t feel like I should go I feel like I want to stay further and go forth into the 14th hour I think of every word that I could possibly say in order for a few more moments with you to spend another minute with you might just give the chance to see your smile once more before the time together is finished and the world is back to how it was before By the 13th hour I felt alive rather than fatigued from the time together not at any moment did it feel like we didn’t want to be next to one another conversation never drying up or no still silent awkward moments There were moments of reflection as the sun shone brightly and the day went on With our thoughts were as fresh as when we met that day but the hour has come and we must now must continue onwards with the day ahead and into the next hour.
