    About this ebook

    You may not recognize love at first, which is why you must treasure it, whenever you find it.

    To see properly, one looks for qualities of "humility" and "understanding".

    They are related to "kindness" and "equity". While "anticipation" and "determination" are required, you must also distinguish between "wanting" and "needing".

    Acknowledging the role of "patience" and "understanding", love will be as reliable and enduring as memory allows.

    This book was written in memory of those who have made us love them, yet at the same time - recognizing the ambivalence that remembering can bring.

    Love brings with it such a myriad of emotion when you move out of home at the age of 16, begin living a life of "sin," elope at the age of 18, are divorced at the age of 25, re-married at 28, widowed at 35, and re-married at the age of 40. Just when you think you "have it all" love can disappear, mysteriously reappearing in the most unlikely places. This book was written to re-create and share emotions involving the evolution of love. Discovering oneself while falling in love, is a journey to be shared. Sometimes all too soon forgotten, it is love that helps us to grow and if we are lucky - we learn to fly.

      (tracking the evolution of love…)

      by Gwen Editin

      Foreword

      Love brings with it such a myriad of emotion

      when you move out of home at the age of 16

      to begin living a life of sin

      elope at the age of 18

      are divorced by the age of 25

      re-married at 28

      widowed at 35

      and re-married at the age of 40.

      Love can be elusive.

      Just when you think you have it all

      it can disappear,

      mysteriously reappearing in the most unlikely places.

      This book was written to share a journey that

      delves into diversity, but is

      united by a single vision—to share, to re-create and to re-live.

      Setting sail for that elusive paradise

      to discover different ways

      that we might fall and stay in love

      it would be wrong not to share the passion

      that can be forgotten, all too soon

      when it is love that helps us to grow

      and if we are lucky—we learn to fly.

      Dear Reader:

      Read this book as you would eat a piece of chocolate cake

      Enjoy each tiny treasure, that you find within

      Savour the moment, for its flavour may be fleeting

      Men are not meant to live alone, they just think they can

      Open your heart and your mind

      Neither is not a choice

      Dare to be wrong

      when all I want

      when all I want

      is only you

      I only need

      that you want me too

      if I could be all

      that you would need

      then I could show you

      how love should be

      to be everything

      to love only me

      to always be sure

      that it’s meant to be

      no matter how long

      it takes for us

      to find what it is

      when two people love

      what tells me I know

      this love is true

      is that

      all of my love

      is what, I gave to you.

      She knew

      She knew that in a minute, he was going to pull her toward him. That should give her enough time to decide how to respond, except that suddenly she couldn’t think.

      From the day they had first met, Tammy had been hoping for this moment. Of course, she should have prepared for it.

      Now she wasn’t exactly sure what to do. To follow her heart without planning ahead, would be risking everything.

      Tammy knew if she let Alex hold her, she’d want more. She wasn’t sure if he was ready for that.

      In the days following their introduction, she had tried to ensure Alex hadn’t had much time to worry where their friendship might lead. They had slowly begun to know each other. Now all Tammy knew, was that she wanted him in her life.

      It had taken months to build his trust. In past relationships, Tammy knew she had been more than a little selfish. But Alex was different.

      Alex had a smile that conveyed such boyish enthusiasm, that he was incapable of deception. Or so it seemed. Still, she thought—best toproceed with caution.

      Her instincts told her that Alex might retreat.

      When he started to reach for her, her whole body ached to surrender.

      Tammy still didn’t know what to do, so she closed her eyes.

      to touch

      to touch your face, I close my eyes

      you give me a kiss, and then you smile

      of all the times, I dream of you

      there’s a way I hope, that you dream too

      why did you come to me, this time

      how don’t you know, I want you for mine

      when all that I feel, I give to you

      so you can be mine, and we can do

      the things I want, to be only yours

      all the things that I love, about you are

      all rolled together, into one wish

      so
