When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Everything's alright
When you're right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes

finished reading A Perfect Day by Richard Paul Evans, one of my fave authors. he never fails to satisfy my craving for a good book.
here's an extract from the postscript:
It has made me wonder if perhaps there is more to our relationships than mortality portends. If perhaps some things are forever in another realm, where clocks stop and nothing remains but the bonds we have forged through love. That and the lessons we've learned. Perhaps. The lessons do remain. I learned much last year. I learned that the measure of life is revealed in the quality of our relationships: with God, our families, our fellow men. I've learned that the greatest threat to love is not circumstance but the absence of attention. For we do not neglect others because we have ceased to love; rather we cease to love others because we have neglected them. I've learned that each day is a miracle unearned. I've learned that while life is ephemeral - a vapor - love is not. In short, I have learned what matters and what does not. I don't know what my future holds or even in whose hands it lies, but I know where I am and what I have, and it's enough. I've lived twice and loved once, and that's more than any man should ask for. And through it all, the woman I love is still by my side.
meaningful.
it's always special when you return to a place of first times. the memories. the one month feels like so much longer. my cactus is growing, and so are we. (:
