35 years of a happy marriage, wonderful adult children ... He traded all this for a relationship with a young beauty and now he bitterly regrets it. Anonymous confession.
It is not easy to talk about it, but it seems necessary.
My wife and I lived for 35 years, we went through a lot together. We have wonderful children: sons and a daughter. Each of them now has a great job, a strong marriage - all thanks to my wife, who over the years has tirelessly prayed for them.
After retiring, my wife and I decided to invest our savings in one business (she prayed for a long time, fasted) - and the result exceeded our wildest expectations: I had never seen such money in my life, I almost went crazy with joy. Suddenly I became a member of the "billionaire club" and my life changed. It began to seem that one single woman - the one with whom we had lived for so many years - was not enough ...
We moved to a prestigious area, changed cars to new, luxurious ones. I was invited to important events, closed receptions. There were young beauties around me, and all my new acquaintances had young companions.
Young, sexy, she did not take her eyes off me, but she had a condition: I must marry
They, these beauties, whispered words to me that made me melt. I felt like the king of the world, spending money right and left. And then I met her - let's call her Dolly. Young, sexy, she did not take her eyes off me, she seemed to be ready for anything - and I "fell in love." But she had a condition: I must marry her.
My first wife never made me suffer in my life. She supported me "in sorrow and in joy." The fact that our children grew up to be successful and happy people is entirely her merit. And I... just can't explain how it happened.
I was visiting Dolly and her mother: my wife's age, she cooked a sumptuous dinner. And after she began to put forward conditions, to say that she cares about the happiness of her daughter (she herself is divorced). She and Dolly gave me three months to explain myself and leave my wife, otherwise we would not see each other again. Did I crawl on my knees, promising to arrange everything? I do not remember.
Returning home, I began to accuse my wife of all conceivable and unthinkable things. Quarrel after quarrel - and I really began to hate her fiercely. I gathered a family council to open everyone's eyes to her. The list of her "sins" included both excess weight and fanatical faith. I said that her prayers are nothing more than spells, I accused her of being in touch with the pastor ...
She fought off all my attacks, and then said: I know what it is, and I give you to that young blonde you run after. Now everyone is on to her. My younger sister, whom my wife once pulled out of a terrible situation and raised as her own daughter, hit her. And I just watched.
The wife left the same day. Most of the things in the house belonged to her, but she took nothing. The children tried to intervene, but my arguments and lies convinced them too.
I paid a ransom for Dolly to her greedy uncles.
I felt like a king - exactly two weeks, while our honeymoon lasted.
No, this is certainly something special: when you are accompanied to parties by a beauty queen. But that's all. I live in hell.
Dolly is loose, ignorant, heartless. She strips me to the bone. We don't even have sex: I started having erectile dysfunction. Pretty sure she has someone.
I cannot confess this to any living soul. I miss my wife. By her kindness.
No one controls what I eat, so I developed all sorts of diseases. Dolly doesn't work, stays at home. She gave birth to a child for me - am I so sure that this is my child? - but communication with him does not bring me such joy as once communication with children and grandchildren.
The children have moved away from me. And their mother is fine. The Lord always heard her prayers and answered them. She looks younger and happier without me.
I made a terrible mistake, but I'm afraid to admit it to someone
Dolly practically ended my relationship with my family. I feel like a prisoner - in my soul and in my own home. I made a terrible mistake, but I'm afraid to admit it to anyone. I suffer - and smile. Some things I cannot confess even in this letter.
Even if Dolly was an angel, now I understand that everything has its time. It's sunset in my life - there's no point in wanting to be with someone who's experiencing sunrise. With all my desire, I cannot portray a man at the peak of puberty. Forget about Viagra: it doesn't occur to us to look for a drug that will accelerate the natural growth of a child - why do we need a remedy that will delay the natural sign of time?
I'd give anything to turn back time. I imagine how wonderful it would be to grow old with the one who was around in my youth. I envy couples who have gone through hard times and stayed together in old age.
I still do not lose hope of reconciling with my wife, but she does not let me get close. I sent her gifts - she returned them. She says she has forgiven me, but she doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.

Old song.
My travel thoughts were not very pleasant. My loss, at the then prices, was important. I could not help admitting in my heart that my behavior in the Simbirsk tavern was stupid, and I felt guilty before Savelitch. All this tormented me. The old man sat gloomily on the irradiation, turning away from me, and was silent, occasionally only grunting. I certainly wanted to make peace with him and did not know where to start. Finally I said to him: “Well, well, Savelich! full, reconcile, guilty; I can see that it's my fault. I messed up yesterday, but I offended you in vain. I promise to be smarter and listen to you in the future. Well, don't be angry; let's make up." “Oh, Father Pyotr Andreevich! he answered with a deep sigh. - I'm angry with myself; I myself am to blame. How could I leave you alone in a tavern! What to do? Sin beguiled: he took it into his head to wander to the deacah, to see the godfather. So something: went to the godfather, but sat down in prison. The trouble and only!.. How will I show myself before the eyes of the gentlemen? what will they say, how will they know that the child is drinking and playing. In order to console poor Savelich, I gave him my word that I would never have a single penny at my disposal without his consent. Little by little he calmed down, although from time to time he still grumbled to himself, shaking his head: “A hundred roubles! is it easy!” I was approaching my destination. Sad deserts stretched around me, criss-crossed by hills and ravines. Everything was covered with snow. The sun was setting. The kibitka rode along a narrow road, or rather, along a trail laid by peasant sledges. Suddenly the coachman began to look away, and finally, taking off his hat, turned to me and said: “Barin, would you order me to come back?”- What is this for? - Time is unreliable: the wind rises slightly; see how he sweeps away the powder.— What a trouble! - Do you see what is there? (The coachman pointed east with his whip.) “I see nothing but the white steppe and the clear sky. - And there - there: this is a cloud. I actually saw a white cloud at the edge of the sky, which at first I took for a distant mound. The coachman explained to me that the cloud foreshadowed a blizzard. I heard about the blizzards there and knew that entire wagon trains were covered with them. Savelich, in accordance with the coachman's opinion, advised him to turn back. But the wind seemed to me not strong; I hoped to get to the next station in advance and ordered to go faster. The coachman galloped; but kept looking to the east. The horses ran together. The wind meanwhile grew stronger by the hour. The cloud turned into a white cloud, which rose heavily, grew and gradually enveloped the sky. A fine snow began to fall, and suddenly it began to fall in flakes. The wind howled; there was a blizzard. In an instant, the dark sky mingled with the snowy sea. Everything is gone. “Well, sir,” shouted the coachman, “trouble: a snowstorm!” ... I looked out of the wagon: everything was dark and whirlwind. The wind howled with such fierce expressiveness that it seemed animated; the snow covered me and Savelich; the horses walked at a pace - and soon they stopped. "Why aren't you eating?" I asked the driver impatiently. “Yes, why go? - he answered, getting down from the irradiation, - who knows where they stopped anyway: there is no road, and darkness is all around. I began to scold him. Savelich stood up for him. “And the hunt was not to obey,” he said angrily, “would have returned to the inn, would have eaten tea, would have rested until morning, the storm would have subsided, we would have gone further. And where are we going? Welcome to the wedding! Savelich was right. There was nothing to do. The snow fell like that. A snowdrift was rising near the wagon. The horses stood with bowed heads and occasionally trembling. The coachman walked around, having nothing to do, adjusting the harness. Savelich grumbled; I looked in all directions, hoping to see at least a sign of a vein or a road, but I could not distinguish anything except the muddy whirling of a snowstorm ... Suddenly I saw something black. "Hey, coachman! I shouted, “look: what’s blackening there?” The coachman began to peer. “But God knows, master,” he said, sitting down in his place, “it’s not a cart, a tree is not a tree, but it seems that it is moving. It must be either a wolf or a man." I ordered to go to an unfamiliar object, which immediately began to move towards us. Two minutes later we caught up with the man. - Hey, good man! the coachman shouted to him. Tell me, do you know where the road is? - The road is here; I'm standing on a solid strip, - answered the roadman, - but what's the point? “Listen, little man,” I said to him, “do you know this side? Will you take me to bed for the night? “The side is familiar to me,” answered the traveler, “thank God, it is well-trodden and traveled up and down. Yes, you see, what the weather: you will just lose your way. It is better to stop here and wait, perhaps the storm will subside and the sky will clear up: then we will find the way by the stars. His composure encouraged me. I had already decided, betraying myself to God's will, to spend the night in the middle of the steppe, when suddenly the roadman sat down nimbly on the box and said to the driver: “Well, thank God, they lived not far; turn right and go." Why should I go to the right? the coachman asked with displeasure. Where do you see the road? I suppose: the horses are strangers, the collar is not your own, don’t stop chasing. The coachman seemed right to me. “Indeed,” I said, “why do you think that lived nearby?” “Because the wind pulled from there,” answered the traveler, “and I hear it smells of smoke; know the village is near. His sharpness and subtlety of instinct amazed me. I told the driver to go. The horses trod heavily in the deep snow. The kibitka moved quietly, now driving onto a snowdrift, now collapsing into a ravine and wading over to one side or the other. It was like sailing a ship on a stormy sea. Savelich groaned, constantly pushing against my sides. I lowered the mat, wrapped myself in a fur coat and dozed off, lulled by the singing of the storm and the rocking of a quiet ride. I had a dream that I could never forget, and in which I still see something prophetic when I reflect with it on the strange circumstances of my life. The reader will excuse me: for he probably knows from experience how akin to a person to indulge in superstition, despite all possible contempt for prejudice. I was in that state of feelings and soul when materiality, yielding to dreams, merges with them in obscure visions of the first dream. It seemed to me that the storm was still raging and we were still wandering through the snowy desert ... Suddenly I saw the gate and drove into the manor yard of our estate. My first thought was the fear that the priest would not be angry with me for my involuntary return to my parents' roof and would not consider it a deliberate disobedience. With anxiety, I jumped out of the wagon and saw: mother meets me on the porch with an air of deep chagrin. “Hush,” she says to me, “father is ill at death and wants to say goodbye to you.” Stricken with fear, I follow her into the bedroom. I see the room is dimly lit; people with sad faces are standing by the bed. I quietly approach the bed; Mother raises the curtain and says: “Andrei Petrovich, Petrusha has arrived; he returned when he learned about your illness; bless him." I knelt down and fixed my eyes on the patient. Well?.. Instead of my father, I see a peasant with a black beard lying in bed, looking at me cheerfully. I turned to my mother in bewilderment, saying to her: “What does this mean? This is not a dad. And why should I ask a peasant for a blessing? “It doesn’t matter, Petrusha,” my mother answered me, “this is your imprisoned father; kiss his hand and let him bless you ... ”I did not agree. Then the peasant jumped out of bed, grabbed the ax from behind his back and began to swing in all directions. I wanted to run... and I couldn't; the room filled with dead bodies; I stumbled over bodies and slid in bloody puddles... A terrible peasant called me affectionately, saying: "Don't be afraid, come under my blessing..." Horror and bewilderment seized me... And at that moment I woke up; the horses were standing; Savelich pulled my hand, saying: "Come out, sir; you've arrived." — Where did you come? I asked, rubbing my eyes. — To the inn. The Lord helped, stumbled right on the fence. Come out, sir, and get warm. I got out of the kibitka. The storm still continued, although with less force. It was so dark that you could poke out your eyes. The owner met us at the gate, holding a lantern under the skirt, and led me into the chamber, which was cramped, but rather clean; the beam illuminated her. A rifle and a tall Cossack hat hung on the wall. The owner, a Yaik Cossack by birth, seemed to be a peasant of about sixty, still fresh and vigorous. Savelich brought in a cellar after me, demanded a fire to prepare tea, which I never seemed to need so much. The owner went to work. — Where is the counselor? I asked Savelich. “Here, your honor,” a voice answered me from above. I looked at the bed and saw a black beard and two sparkling eyes. "What, brother, vegetate?" - “How not to vegetate in one thin Armenian coat! There was a sheepskin coat, but what's the sin to hide? laid the evening at the kisser: the frost did not seem great. At that moment the owner entered with a boiling samovar; I offered our counselor a cup of tea; the man got down from the floor. His appearance seemed remarkable to me: he was about forty, medium height, thin and broad-shouldered. There was gray in his black beard; living large eyes and ran. His face had an expression rather pleasant, but roguish. Her hair was cut in a circle; he was wearing a tattered coat and Tatar trousers. I brought him a cup of tea; he took it and winced. “Your honor, do me such a favor, order me to bring a glass of wine; tea is not our Cossack drink. I gladly granted his wish. The owner took out a damask and a glass from the stall, went up to him and, looking into his face: “Ehe,” he said, “again you are in our land! Where did God bring it from? My guide blinked significantly and answered with a saying: “I flew into the garden, pecked hemp; grandmother threw a pebble - yes past. Well, what about yours? “Yes, ours! - answered the owner, continuing the allegorical conversation. “They began to call for evening, but the priest does not order: the priest is visiting, the devil is in the graveyard.” - “Be quiet, uncle,” my tramp objected, “it will rain, there will be fungi; and there will be fungi, there will be a body. And now (here he blinked again) plug the ax behind your back: the forester walks. Your honor! For your health!" At these words, he took a glass, crossed himself and drank in one gulp. Then he bowed to me and returned to the bed. I could then understand nothing from this thieves' conversation; but afterwards I guessed that it was about the affairs of the Yaitsky army, at that time just pacified after the 1772 rebellion. Savelich listened with an air of great displeasure. He glanced suspiciously first at the owner, then at the counselor. An inn, or, in the local way, be able to, was on the sidelines, in the steppe, far from any village, and looked very much like a robber's pier. But there was nothing to be done. It was impossible to think about continuing the path. Savelich's uneasiness amused me greatly. In the meantime, I settled down for the night and lay down on a bench. Savelich made up his mind to get out on the stove; the owner lay down on the floor. Soon the whole hut was snoring, and I fell asleep like a log. When I woke up quite late in the morning, I saw that the storm had subsided. The sun was shining. Snow lay in a dazzling shroud on the boundless steppe. The horses were harnessed. I paid the landlord, who took such a moderate payment from us that even Savelich did not argue with him and did not bargain in his usual way, and yesterday's suspicions completely disappeared from his head. I called the counselor, thanked him for the help, and ordered Savelich to give him half a ruble for vodka. Savelich frowned. “Half a vodka! he said, what is it for? Because you deigned to give him a ride to the inn? Your will, sir: we don't have extra fifty dollars. Give everyone for vodka, so you yourself will soon have to starve. I couldn't argue with Savelich. The money, according to my promise, was at his full disposal. I was annoyed, however, that I could not thank the person who helped me out, if not out of trouble, then at least out of a very unpleasant situation. “All right,” I said coolly, “if you don’t want to give half a ruble, then take something out of my dress for him. He is dressed too lightly. Give him my bunny coat." "Have mercy, Father Pyotr Andreevich!" Savelich said. “Why does he need your bunny sheepskin coat?” He will drink it, dog, in the first tavern. “It’s not your sadness, old lady,” said my tramp, “whether I drink or not. His nobility favors me with a fur coat from his shoulder: it is his master's will, and your serf's business is not to argue and obey. “You are not afraid of God, robber! Savelich answered him in an angry voice. “You see that the child still does not understand, and you are glad to rob him, for the sake of his simplicity. Why do you need a lord's sheepskin coat? You won't put it on your cursed shoulders. “Please don’t be smart,” I said to my uncle, “now bring a sheepskin coat here.” - Lord, lord! groaned my Savelich. - The hare sheepskin coat is almost brand new! and it would be good for someone, otherwise a bare drunkard! However, the hare sheepskin coat appeared. The man immediately began to try it on. In fact, the sheepskin coat, from which I also managed to grow, was a little narrow for him. However, he somehow managed to put it on, tearing at the seams. Savelich almost howled when he heard the threads crackle. The tramp was extremely pleased with my gift. He escorted me to the wagon and said with a low bow: “Thank you, your honor! God bless you for your virtue. I will never forget your favors." He went in his direction, and I went on, not paying attention to Savelich's annoyance, and soon forgot about yesterday's blizzard, about my leader and about the hare's sheepskin coat. Arriving in Orenburg, I went straight to the general. I saw a tall man, but already hunched over by old age. His long hair was completely white. The old, faded uniform resembled a warrior from the time of Anna Ioannovna, and his speech had a strong German accent. I gave him a letter from my father. At his name, he glanced at me quickly: “Oh my! - he said. “Is it true, it seems Andrei Petrovich was still your age, and now what a hammer he has! Ah, fremya, fremya! He opened the letter and began to read it in an undertone, making his remarks. “Dear Sir Andrei Karlovich, I hope that Your Excellency”... What kind of ceremony is this? Phew, how embarrassing for him! Of course: discipline is the first thing, but is this how they write to an old comrade? .. “your excellency has not forgotten” ... um ... “and ... when ... the late Field Marshal Ming ... campaign ... also ... Carolina "... Ehe, brooder! so he still remembers our old pranks? “Now about the matter ... I’ll bring my rake to you” ... um ... “to keep it in tight reins” ... What are Jeshov's mittens? This must be a Russian proverb... he repeated, turning to me. “That means,” I answered him with an air as innocent as possible, “to be kind, not too strict, to give more freedom, to keep him in tight rein. — Hm, I understand... "and not to give him free rein"... no, apparently Yeshov's mittens mean something else... "At the same time... his passport"... Where is he? Ah, here... "to write off to Semyonovsky"... All right, all right: everything will be done... "Let me hug myself without rank and... an old comrade and friend" - ah! Finally I guessed... and so on and so forth... Well, father," he said, after reading the letter and putting my passport aside, "everything will be done: you will be transferred as an officer to the *** regiment, and if you lose, then tomorrow go to the Belogorsk fortress, where you will be in the team of Captain Mironov, a kind and honest man. There you will be in the service of the present, you will learn discipline. There is nothing for you to do in Orenburg; scattering is harmful to a young person. And today you are welcome: dine with me. “It doesn’t get any easier from time to time! - I thought to myself, - what did it serve me that even in the womb I was already a guard sergeant! Where did it take me? To the *** regiment and to a remote fortress on the border of the Kirghiz-Kaisak steppes! .. ”I dined with Andrei Karlovich, the three of us with his old adjutant. Strict German economy reigned at his table, and I think that the fear of sometimes seeing an extra guest at my idle meal was partly the reason for my hasty removal to the garrison. The next day I said goodbye to the general and went to my destination.
On the one hand, it is impossible not to confess, on the other hand, it is impossible not to confess
For the first time it is found in the satire "The Diary of a Liberal in St. Petersburg" (1872) by Mikhail Evgrafovich Saltykov-Shchedrin (1826-1889), who so vividly described the ambivalent, cowardly position of Russian liberals - his contemporaries. Probably, this expression was already in use even then, but it became widely known, winged thanks to this writer.
The phrase is a symbol of unscrupulousness, eternal reservations, unwillingness to firmly state one's position (ironic). M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin (“The Diary of a Liberal in St. Petersburg”, ch. 9):
“Are there really no measures against these scoundrels? ..
“Unfortunately, it must be admitted that such measures do not exist, although, on the other hand, one cannot help but admit that if the Zemstvo councils got down to business energetically, then the gophers would have been destroyed long ago.”

Heartbeat filled with happiness
And confused thoughts and a lump in the throat ...
I want in a fit of unbridled passion
To say that I love you, delicate flower!
I know that the feelings of a hot flame
Lovers once gave Valentine
And I believe that this love is between us
Will reach sky-high peaks.
Bad weather and adversity
I'm not afraid of you!
me at any time of the year
Dreaming colorful dreams!
I will hug you, my love
And I'll tell you about
That with you I am under protection,
Under an umbrella and under a shield.
I was smitten with you on the first evening -
My heart thudded loudly in my chest,
I waited in confusion at the meeting,
Phone tried to find.
Represented kisses, goodbyes,
Heart-to-heart talk tete-a-tete,
After all, more beautiful, more gentle creatures
For me, my sunshine, no!
Like a tender flower reaching for the light,
I am drawn to you all the time.
I love. And you know about it.
For you I send thanks to fate.
For me, you are my paradise and joy.
I'll give everything for you.
I love. And I don't need others.
After all, love is not subject to years.
You are my sun in the sky
You are my happiness without end.
I love you so much! We are together,
And beat in unison of the heart.
We take off so easily with you
Above the bustle of the city.
In the waves of love we just melt
In bliss, having lost peace.
I scream "I love you!" and I'm not shy
Let everyone hear what I love!
Before you I bow -
And I give you the whole world!
This moonlit night
I'm writing a letter.
The strings of happiness are ringing
And my heart is warm.
Because I want to tell
Honestly, not melting
What's in the whole universe
It's better not to have you.
You are like a ray of sunshine
Among the gray clouds
Next to you
I always laugh.
filled with happiness
Thoughts and dreams
Everything around is changing
When you are near.
I catch your breath
And every breath I catch;
And, you know, I understand
That I love you!
Declaration of love in verses to tears
I love you very much, do you hear?
I can't live without you, you understand?
Barely audible in a dream you breathe
When you hold on tight.
I'm with you forever, do you believe me?
My dear and beloved, you know?
Quickly you dispel my fears,
Like no one else, you comfort me.
Will you tell me what you love, will you?
Will you kiss me and hug me?
Can you tell me what you dream about?
Will you never leave me?
You laugh like the sun in the morning
So the whole world is warm.
That's why I succeed
That the whole day from a smile is light!
Like snow, I will melt from affection ...
And from the warm spring rays
I turn suddenly, like in a fairy tale,
In a cheerful sonorous stream!
My love for you is almost art
The desire to create and create
Deep and fiery feelings
To give birth in your trembling heart.
I'm happy, but sometimes I don't understand
Am I awake with you or sleeping
Charming, kind, dear,
How crazy I love you!
Love comes to us sometimes suddenly
She is unpredictable and windy,
But this feeling is surely so nice
And romantic, like a young spring.
I don't hide my feelings from you
After all, so long and passionately I love you,
I always want to be together with you
To make your life bright and magical!
I want to say that I love
Maybe it's naive
But I can't live without you
Breathing and thinking is out of the ordinary.
I want to love, suffer, dream,
Take off, fly and even fall.
Hug, hold, don't let go
And kiss, caress, breathe!
With you the sun shines brighter
After all, there is warmth in your heart,
And only you in the whole world
You paint life in bright colors!
When you're around, it's so cozy
I fall in love with you more and more!
It's not hard to love you
After all, there is love in my soul!
Oh, how I love you!
You have completely taken over me.
I eat badly and sleep badly
You hold your heart at gunpoint.
I want to hug you soon
Stroke with a gentle hand.
And don't let go
And surround with your love!
Tender declarations of love in verse
The brightest feeling
I dedicate to you.
My heart is not empty
You are in it now...
And hoping for reciprocity
That I confess to you
That I believe in continuation
And I love you endlessly...
I love ... As a reward or punishment
Fate has given me such a gift.
Sorry for the frank confession:
Life has lost its colors without you.
I breathe you! It's very important to me
And feelings are torn like a bird from the chest.
Live with you! Come into my house one day
And don't go anywhere.
Whatever the future is with us,
We will not be sad together.
We are only together with you for years
Let's keep our love.
Eternity of feelings is our reward,
We have many years ahead of us.
And no gossip, no intrigues, no views
They won't cause any trouble.
And let everyone envy us -
Our eternal great love.
Let there be no lies and betrayal,
Just a gentle flutter in my chest.
Maybe it will be strange
And I will surprise you.
But I won't be silent.
Know: I love you!
There are different countries in the world
Roads, seas, cities.
There the sun and bananas sing,
I'm not drawn to it.
Clouds over our city
And rain instead of snow again ...
But you know... what could be better
How to walk through the puddles together!
Beautiful poems declaration of love
I live like in a soar -
In one breath
And in the soul - illumination,
And in the eyes - oh, radiance!
I live in adoration
And in silent admiration,
My life is all confession:
You're my inspiration…
I'm not afraid to confess to you
That you are my earthly happiness,
My incomparable ideal
Which I have been looking for for a long time.
I cherish your image in my soul,
You just make me sick
And I can't sleep at night...
That's how I love you!
Love, so much in this word
Suffering, pain, joy and happiness.
And I can not find the exact answer,
What more? Sun or storm?
I love you, not a bit scared
Confess the feelings that are in my soul.
The road of love is sometimes dangerous
But I dare to go through it.
Since we met,
That started my whole life from scratch.
I don't want to live alone now
From now on, I want to divide everything by two!
I want to meet sunrises and sunsets with you,
And enjoy the sunny day.
It's probably not that hard to figure it out.
How much I love you from the bottom of my heart!
It's easy for me to talk about love
Everything is clear, after all, as two times two:
Your eyes are my eyes
In my hand is your hand.
Living you, breathing you
I'm talking about feelings.
You are my heart and soul.
It's simple - I love you!
An invisible thread connected us
I can't stop thinking about you.
I want to love desperately.
You are a gift in my destiny.
I like being with you
And there is a good reason for this.
I will never forget you
After all, you are my beloved man!
SMS poems declaration of love
I dream about you - you are so beautiful
That my heart bursts with tenderness.
I look at you and it becomes clear:
Being next to you is just dangerous for me -
It has long been known that beauty kills.
From a smile I just melt
And drown in your eyes.
I love you, darling
You are with me even in my dreams.
You're better than a hundred, you're better than a million
And billions fade before you
I want to be one, the most important,
I want to be forever only yours!
You are an insidious tempter,
Captured me forever
I love you handsome
I'm crazy about you.
You are a fighter and a winner
I'm very proud of you.
I love you my darling,
The best, only mine.
I love! You are the only one for me, like the sun
Always with me, as in heaven above.
And my heart laughs happily
After all, you helped to believe in miracles!
You are attentive and passionate
I love you very much.
I feel wanted
I'm only with you.
Declaration of love is touching in verse
Love you! My wish is
May you always love me.
And this is a bold confession
You never reject.
I want to meet you
Every day I do it all over again
And never part
And feel your love!
Crazy, passionate love
My brain is now obsessed.
She runs through the veins with blood
To a heart that yearns to be loved.
Accept these confessions
that are destined by fate.
Not to be found in the whole world
My kind of love...
I want to open my soul to you
I can, I can, I'm not afraid
Dreams are connected with you
I dedicate my thoughts and dreams to you.
You are my joy, constancy,
I want to wake up with you
I love you with all my heart
All life is filled with you!
You yourself, yes without a trace,
With you everything will be sweet, smooth,
I confess to you today
I always strive to be with you!
I'll give you my soul
In return, I will only ask for yours,
I promise I won't disturb your peace
I just live for you.
I just see the point in you
You are revelations for you
I definitely won't offend you.
Don't offend me either.
And only you, without a drop of doubt,
Forever you are my love
I won't give you empty promises
Your support is like I need air.
You are the most beautiful girl
And the best in the world.
A ray of sun in the sky is clear -
Reminds me of summer.
I want to confess to you
I do not hide the words
I feel huge
Hot love!
My soul longs for you
Like a flower reaches for the sun
And it only takes a moment to say goodbye
Cold creeps to the heart
Longing squeezes in tenacious paws,
It's so hard to breathe without you
You are the taste and smell of my life.
Nobody can interfere
We love each other,
Give mutual affection, tenderness.
Let's keep it
The fire of love and our loyalty.
