“LOVE”
“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
(1945-1981)
