When I was sixteen I met a most extraordinary young woman. Her name was Camille Soleil. She was beautiful, smart, exotic, courageous, and completely unconventional, and I was smitten almost immediately. But at the time, I was very shy and introverted, and didn't have the nerve to tell her how I felt about her. She and I became friends through high school, but I always felt we had the potential to be so much more to each other.
After high school we gradually lost touch with each other and went our separate ways. I eventually met someone new and married her, but not a day went by when I didn't think longingly of my beloved Camille.
Things didn't go well in my marriage. My wife was physically and verbally abusive, but I never could quite get the nerve to divorce her. Then one day I get a call from out of the clear blue. It was Camille. She and I started corresponding, and talking over the phone. And hearing her voice brought all those feelings surging through me again, like it was yesterday.
I filed for divorce, moved out of my house, and finally get the nerve to tell Camille how I've always felt about her. And lo and behold, it turns out that she felt the same about me, all along!
"So," I ask her, "What do we do now? You're living in Kentucky, I'm still in California. Where do we go from here?"
It's then that she tells me about a job she's been offered in Anchorage, Alaska. She asks me if I'd be willing to fly up to Anchorage with her for a week, and if it looks like a good idea, would I consider relocating to Alaska with her?
Would I?
I met her at the gate (this was back when you could still meet people at the gate), right as she steps off the plane. She's every bit as beautiful as the last time I saw her, all those years ago, and we fall into each others' arms. We kiss for the first time, fourteen years after I first fell in love with her, and it's like the sole reason the entire universe existed was as a prelude for that moment.
That was six years ago, last August. Of course, it isn't always just moments of transcendant romantic bliss -- candlelit dinners inevitably give way to dirty diapers and PTA meetings -- but she is still The One for me; and I wouldn't have done any of it any other way....

When I was younger, I liked this guy. Lol, he was 3 years older than me, I was 10 he was 13. He used to be so mean like pick on me and stuff. I still liked him and i knew he like me too. Everyone said we would be the cutest couple. We never got the chance to go out because they moved. He found me on myspace about a year after and the butterflies immediately came back :) I remember the feeling as if it was yesterday. He was always a of a bad boy. He was the sweetest person you'd ever meet, so kind and had a big heart. Even though I wouldn't see him anymore since neither of us had cellphones back then, we lost contract. I didn't hear from him for a while but I heard he was hanging out with a couple of gang members. I got sad because of how much he meant to me. Even though we never went out we had something special that no one can EVER understand. a couple years, I saw him pass by, by where I used to live. We glanced at eachother , smiled, but no words were said. I was hurt because he

Once upon seven years ago, a young woman ventured far from home on a quest to find true happiness. She met three friends she thought would provide her the answers she needed to complete this quest. One friend told her not to believe in fairy tales. Another friend told her not believe in people. The third friend told her that she will never find her way because she was different from all the rest. The young woman was devastated and thought that she had chosen the wrong dream to follow. She traveled to many places hoping to find true friends and pure happiness. Then one day as she sat crying on a bench in the park, this very handsome guy walked up to her. They sat and talked and she learned that this guy had experienced some of the same troubles in his life. He was gentle, kind, and compassionate just like she was, and they became very good friends-best friends. The young woman and young man allowed their friendship to grow over the course of five years, enjoying every minute of their wonderful friendship. Finally on a beautiful day in May, the two expressed their love for each other and allowed their friendship to grow into a relationship. Their bond has drawn many people to them. They have many friends and their families are very joyous of their communion. Since then, they have lived happily ever after.

Well, many years ago I was working graveyard shift and they got rid of the shift and moved me to second shift. Problem was I couldn't sleep through the night so I'd stay up all night and usually chat on the computer. So I was in this chat room and struck up a conversation with a Brit - with a five hour time difference it was the middle of the night for me, but morning for him. We'd talk every day..
That was 11 years ago...we've been married 8 years now :-)

Romeo and Juliet. The tale of love that was impossible to happen but they fought for it and with a love so powerful that they would die for each other in the end. Truly a very powerful and the greatest love story ever told.

My Parents:
they married when they were 18 and 23. She was a young girl right from her parent's house and he was a young Marine. They had one son and three daughters. He worked for 40 years at one company (Kodak) to support his family and were not rich but they always had enough. She became sick with polycystic kidney disease, he drove her for 18 years to and from dialysis three days a week. Yes, 18 years. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and again, he was right there to help her fight the fight. She won that battle and was later diagnosed with ovarian cancer. He stood by her when she decided not to continue with dialysis and to just let nature and God take its course. He stood next to her holding her hand as she looked at her family and took her last breath. He was there for every moment and would do it all again if he could just have his Annie back. They were married for 47 years when she passed away three years ago.
I have seen no other marriage stand up to the problems they faced with such love, devotion, dignity and absolute love.

That would have to be my first boyfriend Dan, when he introduced me to his Grandfather. We were about 16 and 17, and were "playing" in the barn on the straw. In walks his Grandpa. He was not home when we arrived at his farm, so this was the first I'd seen of him. We had our clothes on, of course. So did Grandpa. The old man started yelling at us because we were kissing, passionately - and told me he was going to throw me off his property for acting like a harlot! I looked at Dan, and asked, "What is a harlot?" And the old man started yelling some more. Then, my guy stepped up to the older man, looked at me, then looked his Grandpa in the eye and said, "Sir, this is S_____, she is wonderful and I love her. You can't do that to her - it's my fault; I can't leave her alone!" Or something very close to that. The old guy (in his 70's) was silent. I think everyone was afraid of him, and didn't talk back. I was silent because this was the first time Dan had said LOVE about me! Then G'pa started laughing, and that was it. All was well, til Danny boy went with the rich girl...LOL But it is still a favorite day in my book!
Thanks for the memory!

I've liked this boy since I met him in French class, and he liked me. At first I thought he was gay because he dressed so nicely and wrote beautiful poetry. It turns out he was trying to impress me! What a sweetheart... <3. But he is Chinese, and I am white. So he has to have an arranged marriage and his parents don't allow him to date. But they don't know, and it's kind of fun having a secret relationship. We have had a couple racist comments, but we don't let them bother us. Love is colorblind. ^-^
