Excerpts from a chatlog:
Kelvin: A quick insight; As a person in all honesty I'll admit that sometimes I might not be easiest guy to deal with,
I'm very sarcastic, dry, and slightly cynical when it comes to view on life.
Yet for some odd reason am at heart a nice guy with romantic notions and you might find me effusive.
I was born in Japan as my Dad worked in Tokyo, the only child of my parents. We relocated to California because my dad got a new job offer,
I was 17. It would herald a traumatic set of events that changed the course of my life.
He died just a few months into his job in a work related accident and my mom reeled into depression
which led to a lot of drug abuse and unstable behaviors.
She died of that same year and I would prefer not to discuss the circumstances surrounding her death.
I had never been so lonely in my life and also considering the fact that I was never close to extended family.
I had to grow up quick and I made up my mind I was going to do something with my life and not get caught up
in the Vicious cycle people in my circumstance get tangled in.
I joined the the army and gave my life a solid direction. I feel fulfilled and accomplished.
So, also worthy of note is that I am also a amateur fighter but not sure if I'd go professional. I just do it as a pastime
Kelvin: Messaging back and forth is beautiful and it's the height of my day. I am also thinking about a special name for you and I
sure was day dreaming, dreaming and already have a mental picture of how I want out first date would be like. I want to take things
slow but the other part of me just wants to take the next available flight to be with you. I wish I had magic,
I'd just call the magic word and viola! I'm by your side. I'm such a dreamer....
I don't believe in putting my heart into something if I'm not going to give it my best shot. Right now I am putting my heart in wanting to know you
more and more and more. I'm putting my heart in this not because there's is plausible reason to but because I just have this feeling, a surety from
deep down that you are an Angel.
A lot of people believe that cheating is acceptable in the world, as for me, I don't. I have never cheated and it's the
incontrovertible truth. I believe in Love and true love is loyalty. When you love, you add value to each other's human conscience and intelligence,
you make each other better people.
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!
Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.
Have a splendid day. I'll be thinking of you all through
Kelvin: I don't even know what to write as I am so filled with a zillion emotions that I only want to express in action.
There are inestimable things I want to do to you right now and I just wish I had the power to fast forward time and I'd be in front of
you at this moment, shazzaaaaaam! I wonder how you'd react.
So, I have emailed the courier company and I asked them to sell one of my effects, a Chinese antique vase I bought a couple of years
ago which is worth quite a good amount, it will cover for the cost of the shipping as well as insurance.
I just want you to promise me one thing, I have given my heart out to you, you are the gatekeeper of it and please don't slam it on the floor.
I have never felt this way for anyone in my life. I love you now without inhibitions. I want us to live in health, wealth and love.
Also the shipper will contact you to attend to your inquiries and professional advise.
I ask you for one thing, please don't question the authenticity of the affection that I have for you,
I have never felt this way with anyone and I am not prepared to lose you in any way whatsoever.
love you so much
Kelvin: I love you from now until death do us part. I want you to know that I love you from the depths of my heart.
My love for you is unconditional. My love for you is so strong and the most powerful feeling that I have had in a
long time. I just wish there was another way that we could be together
without living so far apart now. I want you to know that I love you and always will. There is nothing that will ever change how I feel about you. I
love you--I truly do.
Kelvin: I just forwarded a copy of the email update Mr Claudio Alfonsi copied to me.
Please make sure you are on top of the situation. Did you get any email updates from him yet? Perhaps you should check your email.
In case you have any inquiries, you can reach him at any time.
You make my day happy and be positive On all things when it comes to both of us. I know that you will be there for me and I will be always be here for you.
If I could stretch the day that I will be home, I will definitely do it as I couldn't wait anymore to be with you.
You have made a new being out of me. My colleagues have noticed that permanent smile on my face, thanks to you. Life has been good to me, aren't I so lucky?
Every time I think about you, I'm reminded of the reasons why I love you from the dept hof my heart and soul.
And I wonder what I'd do without you, without your healing smile, your words of faith,
the caring and sensitive way you touch me,lifting me just when I need it most.
Without you, what would I have? What would I be? I can't imagine existing in
a world where someone doesn't love me the way you do.
You're the only one who ever understood me and accepted me for who I am.
And I think you're nothing short of amazing.
Your love always has been and always will be
Kelvin: It is all so overwhelming...in a very good way...and I am committed to this journey with you,
Babe...whenever, however and wherever it takes us. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, has ever even come close to
communicating to me the amazingly beautiful and deeply touching things
that you have said to me.
Sometimes, when I read and re-read your messages, I pinch myself and ask myself, "Is he really talking about me in this truly
special way, and saying these words of unconditional love and respect to me?!" I am humbled by you.
And again, we haven't even met face to face yet!
The day we actually meet, the moment I actually come into your physical presence for the very first time,
I may be overcome by tears of pure joy. I may be speechless for a brief time. Just to warn you... But whatever
happens, there is no denying how strong I feel my connection with you is becoming.
I feel so much of everything good in my heart for you. Sometimes, I wonder if it will burst!
I cannot find the words to say how grateful I am to have found someone like
you. Truly blessed beyond measure! I have been wishing and dreaming and
hoping and praying you would come along and we would enter our reality
together. This is a huge testament to the power of prayer or faith or
whatever you wish to call it.
"All things are possible."
I firmly believe and know this. You are the greatest testament to this.
"Ask, and you shall receive."
I also firmly believe and know this. And you are also the greatest
testament to this.
I cannot imagine my life without you in it. Please, never let me go. I want
to be with you...now, today, tomorrow, forever. I will hold on tight and
never let you go. I am imagining a life together with the most special man
I know...You. I embrace you...everything you are and will be.
I can sum it all up every time in these three sacred words...I love you
Kelvin: Honey,Yesterday night I couldn't sleep. I have been working on a memoir about my experience here as a soldier,
apparently I will also includes the amazing story of how I came to fall in love with the most awesome person on the planet. I think it will be an
inspiration to a lot of people who don't think there is a way out for them
in long distance relationships. I always believe that if something is truly going to happen, if fate wants to dine with you and bring good tidings,
distance should never be a barrier.
Far, we are near, meet in the rain
which falls here; gathered by light, air;
falls there where you are, I am; lips
to those drops now on yours, nearer
absence the space we yearn in, clouds
drift, cluster, east to west, north, south;
your breath in them; they pour, baptise;
same sun burning through to harvest
rainfall on skin, there, far; my mouth
opening to spell your near name.
Love
Kelvin: I just returned. Things didn't go as planned.. IED, shrapnel lodged in my thigh and just got out of a minor procedure to remove it.
One of my boys wasn't lucky... I need to rest as the medication is taking it's course.
