Mr J L Harding

Have you ever been so in love you just had to use the word “fucking” to describe it? Like regardless of the billions of words in the English vocabulary, “I am so fucking in love with you” is the one sentence which seems the strongest, the most profound.

That’s how long my fiancée and I have been together so far, and one thing I know for sure is that even in 1,973 years I’ll still be truly, madly in love with her.

How does one explain how much you mean to me without shouting it from the rooftops? To define my love for you in words is impossible, to express the sheer enchantment your smile casts upon my heart, or the unyielding passion you compel to surge within me upon each glance; no words can do that justice.
Because the intensity of my burning love for you is hotter than the sun itself. That’s over twenty seven million degrees of pure, fierce adoration for you in all your forms. Be you happy, sad, healthy, poorly, angry or loving, I will lay my heart open to you as an unconditional devotion to making your life just as perfect as you’ve already made mine. I will sacrifice the world for your kiss, hold you forever in my arms and protect you above all else. You are my best friend, my soul mate, my world.

To read - I firmly believe in the power of education and learning, both through others and independently. Literature provides a platform upon which one’s imagination can blossom, temporarily enveloping us in another world until we finally emerge the other side feeling newly born and appreciative of the world we live within. Reading is essential.

To travel - I definitely agree with St Augustine when he stated that “The world is a book, and those who no not travel read only a page”. We only have one opportunity at life, why not spend it making the most of what this beautiful planet of ours has to offer? Travelling broadens one’s perspectives and opens our mind to the fantastic diversity in the world. Travelling is essential.

To love - The most important aspect of all. Everyone exists, but to love is to truly live. Sharing your love with another, and receiving theirs in turn, is the most utterly fantastic sensation one can ever experience. To present your heart to another and allow them to cherish it as they would their own, if not more so. To grow together, to share together, to feel that life is truly worth living just because they are there at your side. Loving is essential.

In no particular order of course ;)

She said, “You’re the reason I wake up in the morning, you’re the last thing I think of at night and you’re the only thing which stays with me all day long. You are my life, and I never want us to have to part from one another. If I live to be a thousand years old, I’ll never love anyone as much as I love you, and if I were to die tomorrow I’d die happy just knowing that I had the grace of seeing you smile here with me today”.

I said, “Darling, you had me at the proper use of you’re”.
