Message for my better half

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... There is something you should always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...i"ll always be with you.

Dear Friend,

My Dear friend,
with each time I walk away
I feel a slice of pain

I can see you drowning in puns and sarcasm
I can hear you crying behind each word you say
I can smell the salt on your face from miles away
I can feel the anxiety bottled inside of you

I want to reach out
I want to help you
I want to tell you that everything will be okay
I want you to trust me

Trust that I won’t spill your dirty secrets
Or nights of sorrows
That I won’t speak a word about the monsters bottled in your hollows
Or tell you that your emotions are bullshit

Because, you see, we are much similar than we appear to be
There are also monsters nesting inside of me
Creeping and crawling in the cracks in me
Telling me that I am stupid
That I am no good
That I am useless.

So while I cannot be the perfect person to help you
Let it be known that if you need me, I will be there to help
I will be there to comfort you
To give you humour, hugs and kisses.
To give you your favourite cup of tea
To give you a basketful of love

I know the world is not perfect, so are we
I know our demons will not simply fade away
But if I must say this once, I will say it twice

No matter what the battle is, no matter the struggle is

Everything Will be alryt and I will always be there for you - as a friend !! or maybe something more - a companion ...

with tons of love,

Vj

Soul Mates - Bob Marley

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.
