A Soapy Mess Romance/Mystery Novels

  Today isn't just the day you were born, it's the day the universe quietly made room for someone who would one day become so deeply woven into my heart. And I don't know if you'll ever truly understand what you mean to me. Because loving you isn't something I can explain with a few beautiful words. It's in the ache I feel when I miss you, the smile that finds me when I think of you, the warmth in my chest when I hear your name, and the quiet moments when I close my eyes and wish you were beside me. You have become part of me in ways I never expected. You're in my thoughts when I wake, in my dreams when I sleep, and somewhere between the two is where my heart seems to find you. If I could give you something today, I wouldn't give something wrapped in paper. I'd give you every piece of my heart that I have been afraid to surrender. I'd give you my laughter, my fears, my hopes, my imperfect pieces, and ...

  On Your Birthday, My Love Today the world celebrates the day. A beautiful soul came into view, But I celebrate something greater -- The day that life gave me you. If I could wrap my heart in ribbon And place it gently in your hands, I'd give you every dream I've carried, Every hope and every plan. Your smile can brighten my darkest days, Your voice can calm my restless heart, And even when we're far apart, I feel you near me from the start. So on your birthday, here's my promise: I'll cherish you through every season, Through every laugh, through every tear, Through every moment, every reason. May this year bring you endless joy, May every wish you make come true, And if I could choose one gift for you, I'd give you my forever too. Happy Birthday, my love, My heart, my dream, my sweetest view. Today is your special day -- But every day feels special Because I get to love you!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3...
