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.
