" Mix one-oh-six-point-five We Did It All For Love of course the Love Line's open on one-three-hundred-double-eight-love. Love Song Dedications. We have a lady calling who needs to dedicate to her guy Terry. And you two have had some trouble what's happened. |
We've been fighting fighting and fighting. |
Okay so a few sleepless nights for you there. |
Yeah yeah. |
Okay and er do you feel that it's stuff that you guys can work through. |
Ah hopefully we can it's just so frustrating. |
Frustrating and tiring and emotionally exhausting huh. |
Exactly yeah and. |
That old rollercoaster. |
Exactly I just want him to know that weth even though I'm angry at him I really love him. |
You're just frustrated at the situation at the moment yeah. |
Yeah like everything just blows up and then sometime he just disappears and doesn't doesn't come home y'know and. |
And that would cause you worry. |
Yes it does yes it does yeah. |
Okay so you're just letting him know that you're just frustrated with the fighting and you'd like that to stop and you're prepared to do your bit to help. |
Yeah exactly yep yup. |
How do you see you two in terms of stopping the fighting. |
I just hope that we comp compromise. |
Compromise. |
Yeah. |
Okay. |
And just understand each other a little bit more. |
Yeah yeah. |
Y'know what does he want and what do I want. |
So look at each other's needs. |
Yeah yeah that's true yeah because when when I get angry I think he thinks that I hate him but I'm not . And when I get angry it's the fact is that I'm scared of losing him. |
Certainly yeah how. |
Do you understand that Richard. |
Yeah I do and unfortunately when we get angry we say so many things that we regret later. |
Like you say you say you hoon and then then you swear at each other and and all that yeah yeah. |
Okay well it's my pleasure to play Almost Here for your guy tonight and uh. |
Thank you very much Richard. |
I hope in some way this helps you to compromise and get to know each other's needs hey and understand each other better. |
Yep yep it will I hope it will. |
Thanks for sharing. |
Alright thank you. Terry this is for you and I do love you very much. |
Well Sophie's called to dedicate to Sam. And why are you feeling so blue tonight Sophie. |
Well we're not actually on good terms he really loves me and I love him and we had to actually um be apart from each other due to religious problems and it's just he can't be with me due to um his family and stuff . And I'm just I really love him and I want him to know that. |
So how long since you two have seen each other. |
We've been together for three years . And um we've been apart now for about two weeks. |
Killing you. |
It's killing me and I guh uh I'm going through a very very rough time and I don't know what to do to get him back and he just wants to be friends now just to see what to do but um I can't live without him and I want him back. |
So in a sense Sam has fallen into line with his family's wishes in terms of honouring the religious differences between you two. |
Yes. |
And he's chosen to. |
To stick with his family. |
Exclude himself from from your love. |
Yeah he ih he just doesn't want he reckons he doesn't not wanna hurt me like later on if if we keep dragging it but. |
Yeah what do y what do make of this. Uh the religious differences breaking the love bond that you have. |
Yes it's a very strong love bond we've been through thick and thin with each other . But um I haven't got a choice I mean I h I respect his wishes and I want him to be happy I love him so whatever he decides I mean I'm just gunna have to live with but um I'm just hoping that he will think about it very very strongly and he'll come back to me. |
That's your dream. |
Yes. |
I wish you well with that dream. |
Thank you. |
And in the meantime as we play a song for Sam is there anything else you'd like to get across to him. |
Just wanna tell him that I love him with all my heart and I'll never stop loving him. And I hope he can come back to me. |

Eileen what's on your mind tonight. |
Hi I just wanted to dedicate a song to someone very special in my life. |
Sounds good to me. |
Yeah . |
Just how special are we talking about. |
Very special. |
Mm a lifesaver do you think. |
Uh probably more than that. I just want him to know how much he means to me and um I hope we can just go seeriuh like further. |
Say four years ago when you two first started talking how were you feeling about life in those days. |
Before I met him I didn't know nothing I was just one of those people that um didn't know nothing about love and when he came into my life he taught me a lot and he put a meaning behind the word love and um I love him so much for that. |
And now when you think of love you think of him. |
Yes. And l he's got a special place in my heart he'll always have that special place and I don't think anyone can can t take that place. He is he means the world to me and I love him so much. |
Is there anything else Eileen you'd like to get across to to Zaheer just before I dedicate Have You Ever to him. |
Uh I just wanted to sell him that I love him so much and I hope he's safe wherever he is I'm not with him and I hope I can see him very soon to tell him how much I really care for him I think he knows that though. |
dedications. Leigh you are feeling good tonight. |
Yeah fantastic. I have my girlfriend with me Sarah she's not my girlfriend she's my friend. |
