Easter

I'm gonna go spend time with my princess at Easter! Sweet!

Note to Kathy

Hey babe. I just got done watching Ever After and I couldn't help but tell you how I feel. I have had such an amazing time getting to know you, and enjoyed every moment of our relationship - we're writing our own love story. I know it will have a happy ending. I may not be a prince, but you are my Princess. I cherish you and I treasure every moment we're together, even though distance keeps us apart.

This is the part of the love story where our distance stretches us and makes us grow - I can't wait for the "happily ever after" part of the story. Until then, I'll be patiently waiting for my chance to see you and hold you again.

Love,

Alex

If You're Not the One

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
