only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things you've never shared with anyone and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that might or might not 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 things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy, 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, songs, texts become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories come back and are so clear and vivid. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of your daily life when before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A single text 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 constant conversation, but you find you're quite content in just thinking about them. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do, everything you see. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind. 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 love and possibly a soulmate 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.
