You are the apple to my eye
Your beauty that none can deny
With a smile that can light up a room
Your compassion makes roses bloom

The perfect waves of your hair
It feels like I'm floating through air
And when all hope is lost in all that I tried
I know that you will be right here by my side

The center to my universe, the air that I breathe
The sound of your voice makes my heart seethe
Sometimes I wonder if an angel from above
Flew down from heaven and filled my life with love

&quot;life isn&#039;t a matter of milestones, but of moments&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;be as you wish to seem.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;it&#039;s better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.&quot;

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
