When you find something precious on the inside of someone. When you find a friend who you can't /don't want to walk away from you proceed to rock someones world. I hope our(my partner and I) outcome has simular results.
I had been alone for along time. I meet my poetry partner online who turned out to be my best friend in real life...after three years of being alone without boyfriend, or any friends for that matter I determined to have a healthy social life because it was the 'right thing to do' when preaching to a kid about social things. I did not want to be a hypocrite so I told myself the next person who asked me out , whom I didn't get red flags over or feel like running away from I would go out with.
I met that person and there was a cosmic connection. This person is someone totally opposite of me. He is loud, brash, rude,egotistical and laughs constantly. He has a temper but so do I. He brings so much of living into my life. I am even on occassion slighly overwhelmed and need to take a couple steps back and he with all understanding accepts it. This is sweetness one dosn't have to be in love to appreciate. We appreciate each others gifts.
