"Only once in
your life,
I truly believe, you find someone who can
completely turn your world
around.
You
tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul
and they absorb everything you say and actually
want to hear more.
You share hopes for the
future, dreams that will
never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many
disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens, you
can’t wait to tell them about
it, knowing they
will share in your excitement.
They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or
laugh with you when you make a fool of
yourself.
Never do they
hurt
your feelings or make you
feel like you are not good enough
But
rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself
that make you special and even
beautiful.
There
is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet
calmness when they are around.
You can
be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you
because they love you for who you
are.
The
things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note,
song or walk become
invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish
forever.
Memories of your childhood come back and are
so clear and vivid it’s like being young again.
Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.
Laughter seems part
of daily life where before it
was infrequent or didn’t exist at all.
A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a
long day’s work and always
brings a smile to your face.
In
their presence, there’s no need for continuous
conversation, but you find you’re quite
content in just having them
nearby.
Things that never interested you before become
fascinating because you know they are important to this person
who is so special to you.
You think of this person on every
occasion and in everything you do.
Simple things bring them to
mind like a pale blue
sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.
You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be
broken one day and in opening your heart,
you experience a love and joy
that you never dreamed possible.
You
find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to
feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly
a soul mate who will
remain loyal to the end.
Life seems completely
different, exciting and
worthwhile.
Your
only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your
life.”
