QUOTES USED
"When you are in Love you can't fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams."

The best thing about me is you.

Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you I had no control over.

To the world you are one person, but to one person you are the world

A hundred hearts would be too fewTo carry all my love for you.~Author Unknown

I've fallen in love many times... always with you. ~Author Unknown

Love is a game that two can play and both win. ~Eva Gabor

Thanks for letting me…stick my freezing cold feet under your warm legs
