VIRGIL...
my..... soulmate, bestmate, film buff, geek, artist, sleepy-head, personal google, blue eyed boy, safe place, shoe-aholic, fellow food appreciater, sunshine, and one of the most talented and funny people i've ever met. my everything
I gotta admit sometimes I feel weak for loving you the way I do, It's beyond me, I can't control it or force it to be, you know, what I want it to be, I think about you so much when I'm with you and when I'm not, It's deep, the way, just looking in your eyes just changes my whole perspective, Nothing is more beautiful than loving you, holding you being next to you, Kissing your lips taking my time with you, Nothing is more beautiful than loving you Holding you being next to you, Moving my hips, Moving in time with you, but of all the things in the world, god gave us to each other, It's amazing, You are the king I always imagined, This is the best time of my life. JILL SCOTT
ALL of my TRUE friends...you know who you are..who never judge, and always make me smile. People who are so creative it hurts, who make beautiful images that make me smile, discuss, be inspired, just go fuck back to the drawing board for me....but what makes me (slightly) jealous only makes me work harder and strive for what i want out of life. People who are themselves and don't front for anyone or take shit lying down!.....as i don't always have the courage to do it.....although i do have a tendancy to be too honest for my own good and say how i feel without thinking. big mouth.......but a big heart........if i let you in........
