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.
