 Thanks for getting back to me here ,You did a great Job I must comprehend . You are such an interesting woman,Believe me you have been on my thought since i set my eyes on your profile.

You have such a lovely profile and a wonderful smile,I am still wondering what got me attracted to you among all the beautiful profiles on the dating site.

I am willing to venture forth on a journey that will leave the past behind while preserving the best memories and forgiving the ones that were hurtful and usually unintentional. I live life one day, one hour, one moment at a time.

I want and need the healing power of love physically emotionally and spiritually. I live as if time were on fire and I believe that every day of the right relationship should be treated like the first day of our honeymoon.

I want to share what I have with one special woman who will appreciate that I have a deep capacity to love that needs to be filled and fulfilled. We can't keep it unless we give it away.

I am so happy once again for having these thoughts,They directly come from my heart. I'm feeling very peaceful now and this seems like the appropriate place to stop. I would be so glad if we can get to know each other better!please tell
me more about yourself,I would like a recent picture of you if you don't mind

Thanks
Patrick
