“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.”
-Bob Marley
