    Kristofre Ian Morton
    *The man of my life.*



    I had the most amazing week with myBaby last week.
    Finally gave him the belt I went hunting for him in the whole of KL.
    *Glad that you like it B.*
    B was down for a conference and we spent every waking moment together.
    Taking the bus and train all over. We had a good time.
    Thank you Baby for the amazing time.
    I love you more each and every moment I'm with you.

     


    KrispyKreme's finally in KL.



    Baby trying to camwhore w/ me before checking out of Impiana KLCC.
    *Complimentary night's stay thanks to Orient Rewards.*

    Can't wait to be with him in Penang again.

  • Alone again in the dark. In between these sheets in the cold of the night. I still can't help but let the loneliness get to me. Reminiscing of the times we had, thinking about you, the memories slowly creep into my head. Trying to forget about you, leaving the past behind and returning to who I used to be. Using alcohol to numb the pain, having the men to cure the loneliness, socializing to get you out of my head. Everything I tried seemed to have failed me once again. Tears start to fall and I'm drowning in pain overwhelmed with sadness and mixed emotions. Now I'm back where I started, left alone and empty stranded in the darkness. Wherever I go, whatever I do, whenever it is you are the only thing that cross my mind. Not wanting to be a burden to you anymore, I am slowly trying to let you go and let my happiness fade away. Starting to give you space and wanting to be more understanding and at the same time trying not to care or worry about you anymore. It's not working. Nothing is and I don't know if anything will. I really don't want to be alone, moreover I don't want to try living my life without you. It hurts, it's painful. Sometimes it tears me down inside, breaks down the strong girl I am and destroys every little bit of hope I have inside of me. Life without you is not easy to endure but I will try, because you want me to. Doing my best to understand you, giving my all to make you happy. That is all I can do now. Sadly enough, my best still isn't good enough for you nor will it ever be. Baby, please come back to me and tell me that everything will be okay. I need to hear that from you, I've gone too far to turn my back on you. You will forever be the one for me baby, now and always.

  • Life has so many surprises to offer.
    The greatest gift that God has gave me is you.
    You happened to me unexpectedly.
    Until now you are undoubtedly the best part of my life.
    You make my days shine brighter make me smile a bit more wider each day.
    Every moment I spend with you is magical and special and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
    You brought upon so many changes in my life, if there is anything that you have done for me or gave me.
    It is the fact that you have made me who I am today, a better person as a whole.
    Being with you has taught me many different things and I still continue to learn every moment I'm with you.
    Sadly I cannot say the same for us. So much has changed between us from then and now.
    I still want you to be the one to put me to sleep at night. The person that holds me in his arms and tell me that everything's alright. The man lying next to me when I wake up in the morning. The one that I can call mine.
    I thought you were the one, I wanted you to be the one.
    I wished for something good but I did not get what I wanted.
    God gave me something better, someone better - you.
    Right now I could not wish for anything more than to be yours and only yours.
    You have made my life better in more ways than you can imagine.
    Please promise me this, I want to hear this from you.
    Promise that you'll always be there and that you'll never leave my side baby.
    I'm still waiting for that. And when all that's done, forever yours I'll be.
    I miss you baby. Most of all, I miss us.

  • When you look at me; I've never felt this way before.
    I know your smile like the back of my hand.
    Do you understand?
    Want you to be my man, baby.
    Ain't no other one for me.
    Close enough to touch, but still so far away.
    Probably never knew, I could feel this way.

    I wanna be the first thing on your mind in the morning.
    One who knows it's you when you're calling.
    Girls who dries your tears when they're falling.
    I wanna be the one you run to when things get crazy.
    The only girl that you call your baby.
    One whose always got your back.
    I wanna know you like that.

    I've been waiting for so long and.
    What I'm feeling is so strong, please tell me you're feeling it too.
    Don't leave me here on the edge of my dream.
    Will you be there for me?
    Baby make me believe you're the one for me.
    Tried to show you how I feel.
    But all the complications got in the way.
    Still I gotta let you know what I'm feeling and I'm here to stay.

    I'll hold you down when times get rough.
    I'll teach you all about my love.
    Cause half your heart just ain't enough to make me happy.
    Tell me bout your deepest dreams.
    Your hopes and fears and everything.
    Share your life with me.
    Cause that's the way that it should be.
    Baby just you and me.

    I wanted you to be there when I fall
    I wanted you to see me through it all
    I wanted you to be the one I love
    I wanted you to hold me in my sleep
    I wanted you to show me what I need
    I wanted you to know just how down deep
    I wanted you..

  • Thinking of life without you just isn't easy. Knowing that what we have will never last as true as it might be. You've been too much a part of my life and a part of me for me to start living each day on my own without you now. I've tried and I am still trying to be independent, to be the strong girl I used to be. As each day goes by, the next day still isn't any easier for me to get by. Getting on with my life just does not make sense without you, when you're no longer there to wake me up in the morning and put me to sleep at night. Your voice just reassures me that tomorrow will always be better and there will be more things to look forward to. The scent of you just puts me at ease in your arms when you hold me to sleep, or even just having you hold me. Whether or not you know it, you are the reason that I finally believe in happily ever afters, you are the one that gives meaning to my life and most of all you make everyday more worthwhile. Every morning I wake up longing to hear your voice again, wondering if it will be the last time. Whenever I'm in your arms I feel happy but I can't help my tears from falling worrying that I'll never be in your arms again. You are not what I've always hoped for but I realize that you are what I need and who I want by my side always and forever. I also want to be there for you, to make you a better person, be there for you when you need someone and care for you. Remembering all the things we talked about, all the plans we had that will never come true I feel another tear rolling down my face. How is it so easy for you to disregard everything we had and still have, going on with your life as though you have felt nothing between us when there's clearly something worth fighting for, working for and striving for. No one ever said it would be easy, and I can't guarantee that the future is clear for us. One thing I do know is I will and have already given my heart, my soul and myself to you wholeheartedly. I would undoubtedly put my life in your hands and wait for you to turn it into our lives, our future. The thought of not being with you, no longer having you in my life in the future is just unbearable. Willingly I put aside everything I have and everything I want just to give us a shot at this. Unfortunately for me you are not ready for that. Your past may have made you who you are today but there's nothing that says you can't change the future you. Not trying to blame you for all of this, I understand that it must not be easy but who can guarantee that anything in life is easy. If you give up even before you try, then how would you know how bad or even how good it may turn out to be. It may have been my fault for loving you too much when I shouldn't have. As hard as it is for me to go through with my life now I would never change anything that we have. I always thought that you were 'the one' that I'd spend the rest of my life with. The first and the last man that I will truly love. However, you pushed my love aside and buried the feelings you have deep inside. It does hurt and it is painful I will not lie; to give your all to a man and not have it given back or even appreciated. My love for you will not just die like that, it is enduring and everlasting I can promise you this if you would just listen to me and give us a chance at life together. Right now, I just would not know what to do if the day for you to walk away were to ever come.

  • Being back in KL, away from you does not seem to make things any easier.
    I've came to realize that just because some things change that does not mean that anything has changed.
    The time spent with you have been the most amazing time of my life and no doubt the happiest.
    Honestly, I am very grateful to have you in my life regardless of what we were, are and may be.
    Having loved you before I will still continue to love you and appreciate whatever that we have left for us.
    Nothing can change the way I feel about you. I should hate you, despise you after all that you've put me through.
    As strange it seems, I will still continue to love you and care about you, always.

    Back then, I thought that you were going to be the last guy that I'd ever go out with.
    So sure that we could have a life together and be happy forever.
    However, that's not the case. You were too scared, too afraid and above it all too logical and rational.
    I understand what you've been through and I know what pushed you to do so and I respect your decision and shall live with the choice you have made.
    No matter what happens to you or to me or even to us, I wish for you to be happy and if that is not with me I shall very well accept that.
    I will always love you baby. You know I am always there for you.

    Forever yours,
    E.

  • Dear diary,

    Today I finally realized that I've fell in love for the first time after a lengthy hiatus from crazy love rides. My head flooded with thoughts going a million miles an hour driving me up the wall and I certainly don't know where to begin.

    Minutes pass me by..

    Dear diary,

    This time I've fallen in love for the first time after a lengthy hiatus from crazy love roller coasters and all the pain and hurting I've gone through.
    Everything that happened was just so unexpected. It all started with just a phone call on a boring night. Which soon led to exchanging of flirtatious gestures and body language.

    I've learned so much about this man within a few months and am still learning to understand him better. I was fascinated by his ability to tolerate my unreasonable-ness & tantrums and his easy-going personality. I can't say it was love at first sight, I still remember the first day we met - we loathed the sight of one another. However, feelings gradually developed after exchanging countless text messages and many late night conversations on the phone. To cut the story short, little did I realize I was slowly but surely falling madly in LOVE with him. In fact, I would proudly announce to the world that he's my man of the moment (if I could).

    Every choice we make in life is influenced by a certain force, whether it's our own willpower, commitment, obligations, drive of emotions or plain instinct. Just like the scientific law, every action has an equal reaction, every choice we make will lead us to yet another path in life. But this chemistry that boils aggressively within our souls as we speak isn't exactly scientific. It is natural. In fact, no science or man made logic could come close to describing what it is that boldly shakes the world of our inner emotions. Only HIM - GOD knows, as he is the source of all existence and most of all, LOVE. To love someone is the greatest form of gift in this world. Best of all is to be loved in return, which will eventually sip in naturally (I hope). I've reached the stage where I love and hopefully one day be loved in return by this same man. It's the most remarkable feeling and highest magnitude of happiness I could ever wish for. It is YOU, baby, you.

    Baby I know it's been a rough time for both of us and I hope that we strive to do our best at preserving this love that comes once (or maybe twice) in a lifetime. We can work things out and overcome whatever situation is facing us right now and whatever that comes with the future. I treasure it, US too much to the point where I wish it to be as perfect as possible - certainly does not do the slightest good to any of us. The pain is crucial when it gets tough, but don't start giving up on me and on us, hang on to me baby please don't let me fall as I will always be holding on to you, making sure you never fall. You may not notice this, but I am learning and definitely still growing to become a better girlfriend and person in this relationship with you. To enable the completion of the word "love" requires both you & I to grow hand in hand. Thus, let new discoveries become recognizable, and soon be familiarized. I'm new to this whole feeling that I feel right now. Letting my guard down is NOT me, it takes a lot to do so baby as it has never been me to do that. I've been independent and I can stand on my own if I want to, but no, I found you and I know for a fact that I desire to stay with you through thick and thin, and be by your side regardless of right or wrong. Despite all the continuous fights and conflicts we have, plus the recent arguments not forgetting the contentious conversation we had lately, I love u still and more.

    I long for your touch and love each day, waking up every morning and seeing your smile. Having the urge to hear your voice, even if it's just a simple "Good Morning" or "Good Night". It's amazing how much you've shown me and how much I've changed. I've learned and grown by being together with you. Thank you darling for coming into my life, you're by far the best thing that's happened besides my family & my babes.

    ps, I love you and I will always be by your side.

  • Things are different; & people change.
    I used to be happy but now I'm just a mess of insecurities.



    It's been 6 long months since we've been together either officially or un-officially.
    Feeling that things have started to change between us.
    Your no longer the voice I hear every morning. Or the one who puts me to sleep at night.
    Is it because we're grown out of that or have you just stopped caring?
    Whenever I'm with you, I used to be happy.
    Now, I just don't know how to feel.
    I can't help but feel that what we have is just slowly dying. Or rather you're letting it die.
    I don't know how much more I can take.
    I've done everything I could and said everything I can.
    Still nothing has changed. I'm starting to think that nothing will or can ever change.

    I've been trying to make us work out. Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one that's trying.
    The thought of not being with you after all that we've been through just scares me.
    I'm certain that your not the only one that's afraid or scared.
    But risks and chances are what we have to face and accept in life and you can't avoid them forever.
    I don't want to be the girl who makes you happy. The girl who cares about you. Or the girl who makes you feel special.
    I want to be The One baby.



    Never have I felt this way.
    I never thought that I could love a person as much as I love you.
    Insecurities just never seem to happen to me till I stumbled upon you.
    I know I'm not perfect and neither are you.
    Sometimes it's the imperfections and differences that make us need each other and want to be together.
    I really hope that you see this the way I do.

    Honestly, I'm not out to get you.
    I just don't want you to lie to me. I need you to be honest and truthful with me.
    Regardless of how bad the consequences are and whatever nonsense it is that you did or are doing.
    Why can't you just be open with me.
    The reason I ask questions is for you to have an opportunity to be honest and open about things.
    Seems like you can't or maybe I misjudged you.
    I really want to go on this trip with you or any other trip for that matter.
    Am I just not on top of the priority list? Is there someone else you'd rather have a getaway with?
    I'm sorry for doubting you. I don't mean to question you.
    Everything you do and everything you say just happens to point in that direction.

    It hurts to be with you but I long to be with you.
    It'd be easier to just let you go and walk away.
    Then it'd hurt even more to not have you at all.

      

    Right now, I'm hurt & confused; scared & lost.
    When I'm with you, I still can't help but feel that slight glimpse of happiness.
    And that, that is just enough a reason for me to continue staying by your side.

  • Finally back in KL, but only for 2 nights.
    Sitting for my Moral Studies paper on Saturday then heading home.
    Really need time away from home, especially him.
    Right now I want to be alone, not because I don't want to be with you but the more that I'm with you the more I don't want to be without you.
    I'm just a mess of insecurities right now. Why do I have to try and be smart and analyze the whole situation?
    All I want.. All I need is for you to feel the same way I feel about you.
    The rest is history baby.
    Can it be just you & me?

  • Being silent doesn't mean that nothing is wrong. Neither does it mean that everything is right.
    Holding it in so I seem strong. Not appearing to be the weak, needy girl I am.
    The right thing to do may hurt the most. Why not when I'm already hurting on the inside anyway.
    Sometimes the hardest things and the right thing are just the same.
    Not wanting to rush you or push you. Trying to give you space and not accuse you.
    Things just get harder day by day. Each day I wake up being a better person than I was before.
    Can you see that? You don't see me. You can't see the person I've been for you.
    Do you even care about us? If I didn't know better I'd say you don't want us to work out.
    I care for you more than I've cared for anything or anyone else.
    I love you the way I never knew I could love before.
    I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
    Somehow all you care about is you. Am I the only one that seems to be trying to keep us together?
    It seems like you're not even bothered to be together anymore. I can't be the only person working to make this work.
    I need you to want us to work out too. Reassure me please baby that everything I'm doing now will eventually be for something.
    This is the longest silence I've had and I cannot do it any longer.
    Give it a long thought baby, will we pull through this and am I the one you want?
    I need to know, I need an answer now. The more that I'm with you and the more you care about me, it hurts even more.

    What would you say if I were to leave?
    Would you watch me walk away or would you ask me to stay?
