"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. Colors 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.
