There was a time--before this one,
when you and I ,
we were unstoppable.
Batman & Robin, Cher &Sonny, Will &Grace.
There was nothing between us and the whole world ahead of us.
With you at my side I knew there was nothing I couldn't do.
But that was another time--and this is now.
Now there's you and there's me, miles in between.
Without you, Without me, Without us,
There's only half of who I used to be.
Ann Shirley once said she had waited her whole life to find a kindred spirit, a person in whom she could confide her deepest soul. I don't think many of us find that person. Not only is it hard to find someone who fits us so completely, but it's harder still to let go of our wall. To give our weaknesses and vulnerabilities to another person to help protect. It's hard to say "I trust you completely, and I want you to know me. The real me." But once you do, it's like breathing for the first time. There's nothing quite like having someone you can share your life with. Someone to share your happiness, your sadness, and every day in between. And to that all I can say is thank you. Thank you to my kindred spirit. Thank you for giving me you. You'll have a place in my heart as long as you might need it, and even when you don't want it.

Sometimes we forget that Love, was never ours to have. Sometimes we try putting love on speed dial and we think "it'll be there when I need it". We become comfortable with the way love feels, and we even forget to wake up and say thank you for being here. Then when we wake up one day and find that Love is no longer sleeping next to us, and that Love has changed it's number we demand to know what reason Love has for leaving. Then we ask what we did, and why Love doesn't want to Love us anymore. Sometimes, we forget that Love was never ours to have. We think that we can stop it from leaving and that if we just try hard enough we can stop Love from escaping. But Love was never ours to have. Love comes when it is needed, and leaves when it must. If there's anything I believe in, it's Love. No matter how hard it is sometimes and no matter how hopeless it might seem, I know that Love exists. I know it so completely and without doubt. It is faith in it's purest. I can't explain it, and I can't give you proof. I can't even promise that Love will find you someday. But I an tell you without hesitation that Love is why. Why we breathe, why we live, why we get up each day even when everything tells us we shouldn't. It is for Love that we do these things, and it is for Love that I will try again tomorrow. We must always try again, because there will always be Love and it takes only a single moment to know that Love is enough. It will always be enough. But we must also know that when Love must once again leave, it is not because of some fault of our own, it is because that is the way it was always meant to be. Love needs no other reason. "To love another person is to see the face of God".
