Everytime I Close My Eyes
        "Ariadne "

        "I look forward to the day when I would awake in the morning 
        and I would find you there lying beside me.... 
        And I would stretch my hands to caress your hair and 
        would be grateful to Him for letting us find 
        each other in this lifetime..."
