The Love of a Tiger

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you
 will be the shelter for the other.

Now you will feel no cold, for each of you
 will be the warmth for the other.

Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you
 will be companion to the other.

Now you are two persons, but there is only
 one life before you.

May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead
 and through all the years.

May happiness be your companion, and your
  days together be good and long upon the Earth.

 --  Apache Marriage Blessing

I decided to create this web page in an attempt to express the love that I have found with my soul-mate. We met on a newsgroup about a year ago, and in just a year's time, we have found a love with one another that neither of us have ever experienced. He has stood by me through A LOT of tough times- his love and support never wavering. Words could never be enough to show my beloved how he has changed my life for the better-- so, the hope is that this small gesture will begin to express what is within my heart.

"Thank you for coming into my life, my dear tiger -- I have waited so long for my heart to be so glad -- for my soul to be so full.
 We have come so far, against so many odds.

I, take you, to be my mate for always -- I will cherish our friendship -- and love you today, tomorrow and forever.
 I will trust you and honor you -- I will love you faithfully - through the best and the worst - through the difficult and the easy.
  Whatever may come, I will always be there. - As I have given you my hand to hold - so I give you my soul to keep."

Forever, these words shall be true... just as they were the day we stood before one another and spoke from our hearts.

Always,

~Louve

"If Tomorrow Never Comes

If I knew it would be the last time
 that I'd see you fall asleep
I would tuck you in more tightly and pray
 The Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
 that I would see you walk out the door
I would give you a hug and a kiss
 and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
 I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word
 so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time
 I could spare an extra minute or two to stop
and say "I love you," instead of assuming
 you KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
 I would be there to share your day,
I'd be sure it was your best,
 before it slipped away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
 to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
 to make everything right.

There will always be another day to say "I love you"
 And certainly another chance to ask "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
 And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
 and hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
 young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get
 to hold your loved one tight.

So if you are waiting for tomorrow,
 why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes,
 You'll surely regret the day
that you didn't take that extra time
 for a smile, a hug, or a kiss...
and you were too busy to grant someone,
 what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
 whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
 and that you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me",
 "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
 you'll have no regrets about today.

Our first 'official' date was to see the movie 'Tarzan', when he visited me this past summer...the lyrics of 'You'll Be In My Heart' echoing how we feel about one another.
At the moment, my Tiger resides 'across the pond' in the UK- and we are so looking forward to one day being able to begin our lives together, when he makes the big move to the States.
So for now, while we are separated by such a vast distance, this song has come to mean alot to both of us. ;)

It may not be much of a webpage at the moment, but I wanted to at least begin the creation of this small symbol of my love for my Tiger. Please check back often, and do not forget to hit reload/refresh each time, so you can see the changes. Thank you)
