I promise to devote my love to you
With each growing day;
I promise to help you,
and try to take the past pains away.

I promise to be your friend
and your partner in crime;
I promise to be the one you turn to
Every time.

I promise to talk through our problems,
when we feel like we're losing hope;
I promise to keep you with me always,
even if it seems we've met the end of our rope.

I promise to keep trying though
because you mean so much to me;
I promise to hold you tightly,
'til I must set you free.

But that day will never come for us,
Because I'll love you death do us part,
because I promised to keep you forever,

Forever close to my heart!

I LOATH Valentines Day....Hate it!!! What a crap Holiday...the only thing I like about it, is them stupid heart candies! But hey yea Im single

Mr. Perfect: Honest, attractive, has tattoos, has a motorcycle, knows about cars, likes the outdoors, is spontaneous, loves cats and dogs, is slightly on the eccentric side but not mental ;), is confident but not cocky, is family oriented, likes to travel, enjoys being a big kid, a little rough around the edges, but a good heart!

Thank you Goofball73! This helped clear the air about my perspective!

I personally have been the shy girl and still can be, but lately I've been taking charge of all my dates; deciding where to go and what to do and it feels great!!!

I think if there is enough chemistry between two shy people, and you can communicate with your date without all that awkward silence, it can work!

Paper doesn't seem to work these days, so I guess that leaves me to the Mingle world to find a center; balance so to speak.

A little over 2 years ago, I left the wonderful state of AZ to be closer to my family and to get a new perspective on life I guess, but in this time I've been here, I feel like I have accomplished nothing! I had the privledge of watching my two younger siblings graduate from high school, watched my Mother struggle to keep her business and a man she calls her fiance that doesn't deserve her love. Last year, I said goodbye to my Grandfather, who passed away from Alzheimers disease and on Christmas Eve, I kissed my Great Grandmother for the last time.

I've let every good relationship I've had fail, because I feel my heart has never been in it completely. It's been back in AZ for the last two years, with my soul mate, the one person I fell incredibly in love with when I met him. But he is the one who let me go; we both agreed to go our separate ways, to still talk and be friends and help each other when times were tough. The only love I wanted and still believe in lives 1800 miles away.

I just can't seem to wrap my head around why the hell I am still here! So, should I choose love or family?

Thank you to every one of you for your kind words!

I wish I could put into words how it felt to know that my Great Grandmother would not make it to another Christmas. She passed away @ 11pm on 12-24-12.

I am thankfull however, that I received 27 wonderful years with her and I am ever so lucky to have had her in my life! I will never forget her little white house, the aroma of freshly baked cookies and coffee as you walked through the door, and her standing in the kitchen (hair curlers, scarf tied up in her hair, a floral button down shirt, and grey slacks) waiting for a hug and a kiss. She was such a busy-body; always putting everyone else before herself. She was an amazing cook and always said, "I don't have much." But the 8+ seating dinning room table was always filled with enough to feed an army!

Most importantly she was loved by many, and will be dearly missed by all!

In loving Memory Of Esther 1915-2012

I don't remember this at all, but apparently I told this guy I was seeing; "I wish you were someone else." That ended it I think...nice...right?

Wow, those words are intense!

Thank you! and Hello

The Devils' Hell
is where you lead me;
this is where I fell;
you're the Devils' Angel.
You gave me desire
to love you,
and I felt admired,
but all along you deceived me
And I just kept believing you.
Now I am forsaken,
because you,
the Devils' Angel is taken.
You are the storm of rain;
you left me buried
in this bloody pain.
You left me here to decay;
I can only hope
that you will pay.
You dragged me down a lonely miserable path,
And left me here
to the dreaded aftermath.
Today I am left with so much regret,
wishing that day,
we had never met.
I wouldn't be stuck in my own sorrow,
wondering if I am
going to be alive tomorrow.
You are the Devils' Angel,
who used to be mine;
but I no longer want you here,
because you are just a waste of my precious time.

However depressing this poem may sound, this is beautifully written and I can defintely relate to it. Thank you!

I really like this; thank you for sharing!

It is the sweetest dream,
but only when I close my eyes
does it become a reality.
It's only then I see,
It's only then it's clear,
It's only then I'm calm,
And it's only then I see the light
At the end of the tunnel,
But once I open my eyes
That dream is gone.
It's the image of Serenity,
The image of peace,
The image of happiness,
That would make my journey complete.
It's the sense of feeling lost,
The sense of feeling free,
The sense of feeling adrenaline
As it's running all through me.
A prison that holds my heart,
A prison that conseals my soul,
A prison that's not one at all,
It's the one that makes me whole.
So I put one foot infront of the other,
To find that place that has a mean,
And one day when I wake up,
This will be more than just a dream.
