Hello Romantics and Swooners alike, It was always you. Such a pretty sentence. It implies that no matter what you and whoever is saying it were always supposed to be together.

Love can be hard to find, harder to hang onto and almost impossible to find that fairy tale ending that so many of us want but this beautiful girl found it and had her Happily Ever After and this is her stunning story.... Right the Story of Jonathon and Elizabeth... once upon a time ( well it is kinda like a fairy tale) Jonathon lived in Cambridge, I had moved back to my parents after a horrific break up and physical attack by my ex - he was high on drugs and pushed me down the stairs 6 months pregnant then left me to miscarry at the front door. Once out of hospital I was bored, lonely, depressed and skint so i spent a lot of time online back in those days there was MSN chat rooms.... i was online in one, just chatting with whoever, when a random online profile messaged me. it was Jonathon. well Jonathon was a spurs fan, liked holidays, single and seemed nice. we chatted about football, travelling - or my dream to go round the world- and stuf...
