There Is


There is such sweetness here that I want to stay forever. There is so much love that I have for you in my heart that I strain to keep the words hidden safely behind my teeth.

Once you said that the simple things make a relationship last forever. I know my forever could be with you, walking Maggie, cooking a simple meal together, working around the house, our incessant talking and bursts of laughter. I really like who you are.

When we come together in the quiet times of our day, you are my sheltering tree. You are the place I want to run to for refuge; hiding under your branches until I feel safe enough to come out. You are my sentinel, my compass and my beacon.

When something magical happens it is you that I want to tell first, just as you are the first I want to talk to when a hard decision needs to be made or I doubt my own stance on something. You never take my joy for granted, nor my worry too lightly.

Thank you for allowing me to take shelter with you again for a short while. I feel strong enough to go it alone, but will miss you and the sweetness There Is with us.

Dear Mellissa...I was leaving a comment and the "whoosh," it was gone. I was saying how wonderful it is to hear your voice again and that I wish you all good things in your kingdom, including a hug. ;)

Ciao bella...glad to have you back.

This post made me cry. I hope one day I can have someone like that, a best friend who cares about me that much.

You are very lucky Mellissa - but then, you are very deserving too.
Hugs,
Z.

Ah Zya, you are correct. I am lucky to have this man be my friend, but how I long to call him something infinitly more dear...

xoox,

I thought it wasn't working out with Jim and yourself.

I'm relieved to know that I'm mistaken.

Beautifully written my friend. I have someone like this too and you've so gracefully and eloquently captured what can be so difficult to describe. I hope life is treating you well and that you and Jim find a rhythm that makes both your heart strings sing.

Green & SS -

Thank you for the comments. While nothing has changed for us, Jim did reach out to me when I needed a friend. While I cannot spend time with him and stay in balance with my feelings. It has been good for my heart to know that I am cared for. It is a great testament to how we were in our relationship.

What I cannot say is that I have stopped hoping that one day he will come for me....but we all hope for far away places don't we?

xoxo,
Bug

Glad you cleared that up. I was a might confused. Is this because of what I think it is?
