TODAY I WAS REMINDED WHY I LOVE YOU
Today I was reminded why I love you from the subtleties to the fact that with you I am no one?s case manager or caregiver, just someone who allows me to be me the Emily Dickinson type working away in her room on her latest prose, not for everyone else?s amusement but for her own sanity.
You made me see that sitting in a room is not just sitting in a room. It?s what I see in that room. Do I see the nice couple dancing in the corner? The little girl playing slow-pitch softball, the angel choir singing Gloria. My future. My past. My present. The deck, the gazebo, the lighthouse in the middle of nowhere built just because, like flowers picked on a new day.
Today I was reminded of why I love you because in a moment it flashed before me. I truly am in deep love with this person. I want to be the one who holds her hand or her holding my hand as I transition from this life to the next. Hers is the first face I want to see when someday I give birth to a little girl and I am privileged to hear, honey it?s a girl, isn?t she beautiful through the tears of joy we both are shedding.
You reopened things up for me that I thought I had lost. Simple things like hope, trust, love, honesty, integrity. I never truly lost them, just gave up on them in the proverbial rat race that is humanity.
Today I was reminded of why I love you because in a time when most people are running in their rage of anger, and bitterness, wasting time that should be used for the purpose of loving and being in love. Finding the person that the creator set specifically for them, I thought about you and hoped you were okay. Saying, no whispering a silent prayer that no matter what, things would be okay.
You are my boo, as the phrase states. My stand up person who loves me through good, bad, everything and will always have my back. In my language I will tell you I will always have your 6. I will have your 6 for the rest of your life if you allow me the privilege and honor.
Today I was reminded of why I loved you because it was no longer two, but one. I looked at my life with you being apart of it, yet me not losing myself, but still having my own identity.
You are the only person who has ever allowed me to be me. You actually are concerned about me. My whole life I?ve always had to be concerned about everyone else to the point where it scared me when you reminded me of why I loved you. There are many reasons, but the main one that sticks out is that you love the soul first, then the mind, then my body, and that is all I?ve ever wanted from anyone.
