A girl asked a boy if she was pretty.
He said no
She asked him if he wanted to be with her forever.
He said no
She then asked him if he would cry if she walked away.
He again said no.
She had heard too much.
She needed to leave.
As she walked away, he grabbed her arm and told her to stay, he said,
"You're not pretty, your beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I would die."

A lot of things have changed... some of you know(, others don't,) about this girl I have started seeing.  I really want to make her happy, and not break her heart.  I think the worst thing about her is that she doesn't attend church services as much as I would like.  It's not that she has anything against it, but it's the usual ranking of priorities.  I talked to her about it, and I am glad to say that she said she would come more often.  Nothing would make me happier than to see her take Christ as Lord, God, Saviour, and Friend.  I look at women like my own mother.  She's really great and it's mostly due to Christ in her life.  That's why I feel it's important.  Plus everyone wants to know that their significant other isn't "condemned already"(-John 3:18).  But all things in mind, she is a really great person.  Honestly because of how everything is for the both of us, academia and all...  I'm taking things easy and giving her lots of space to do well with her studies.  (It's so sweet, she wrote a poem about me.  I wanted to cry, but I didn't.  OH and I absolutely ADORE the time we spend together.  I soak up every last moment like a leech.)  Well until next time xoxo to everyone!
