“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can complete
ly turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared wi
th another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hea
r more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, g
oals 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 t
o 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 abou
t yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pre
ssure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are arou
nd. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you bec
ause they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to m
ost people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept sa
fe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back a
nd are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighte
r and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was

5. infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day help
s to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your fa
ce. 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 in
terested 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 y
our heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in ope
ning your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You f
g 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 compl
etely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in
knowing that they are a part of your life.”

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may
love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect
- you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but i
f she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being huma
n and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may
not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a
part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, d
on't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smi

her when she's not there.”

more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell
when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when th
