How do you know when love is real and true? Does it have a sadness to it? Do you feel a little sad when you think of your love? Or do you have nothing but happiness at the thought of him? Can you truly feel sad and happy at the same time? I think of you and I do. I am happy that I have you and sad that you are so far. I guess the trick of it all is to not allow the sadness to overpower the happiness. I need you to know that my love can travel the distance and not waiver in its course. That is the happiness i feel. The sadness needs to know that your love can overcome such an obstacle. I give to you myself.. closing my eyes and trusting you will always be there. The hurt that may come of this.. the sadness that may take over.. will never be more than the happiness i feel while you are mine and i am yours. That is how I know that the love is real and true. I will risk all for just one moment of pure happiness in your heart.
