True heart that shares bunden

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.
