Nothing's impossible . Nothing's unreachable .When I am weary you make me stronger

This love is beautiful .So unforgettable . I feel no winter cold when we are together .

Will you stand by me ?!!!Hold on and never let me go .

Will you stand by me?!! With you i know i belong . When the story gets told .

When day turns into night .I look into your eyes . I see my future now .All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away.And through the hardest days . I will never question us .You are the reason my only reason.

I'm blessed to find what i need in a world loosing hope. you are my only believe .

You make things right every time after time.....

Will you stand by me ?!!!

I love you so much and i miss you so much more .

I said 4 times, but that is only counting the times we visited after we became a couple (well, including the visit we filed during). We saw each other 3 or 4 times (I can't remember anymore) before that. We knew each other for 4 years before we filed. We were friends before we became a couple.

Saw each other every Tuesday night and every weekend for 8 months until he left for Bahrain, and then twice since then.

We were together just over a year before we filed.

Can't answer the poll.

I met my SO while I was on vacation. We met in July 2006, filed in May 2007, visited July 2007.

We met, but it was not a visit.
