When we were little, life worked perfectly. No matter what happened, everything
turned out alright in the end. Scraped knees, cancelled play dates, dropped
ice
cream cones — we would cry for a short time, but by the end of the day,
everything would be perfect. And now as we’ve grown older, we’ve lost the
faith
as we stumble through each day, crying over broken hearts, lost
friendships, and
lost dreams. It seems like life and perfection have turned
their backs on us,
but really its just that we’ve grown up. As children we
didn’t pay attention to
such details about our daily lives, but now we are
more aware and little details
seem to be amplifying our pain. But just
remember that when we were younger,
life was hard too, but we had faith in
perfection because we could look past
faults.
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.
