I, on a whim, went and perused Yahoo Personals earlier this evening (I was bored).
It was good for me. Scrolling through page after page of self-selling biopsies, people trying to condense their entire persona into a single paragraph.... seeing hoplessly hopeful faces staring out at me, reading about how everyone's looking for that one special person, 'the one'......it bought home to me just how fortunate I am.
I have found my 'one'. I have made, am making and will continue to make a life with my 'one'.
He's amazing. He's wonderful. He's awesome.
He's also an ass. A jerk. A prick, even.
But that's what makes 'us' so good. We're real. We have shared the best of times, and we have shared the worst of times, and we're still in love. We've had the wine and roses moments...and we've also had yelling and slamming doors moments.
We've built character as a couple. We've grown together....to be honest, I don't really think of myself as a seperate entity from him anymore, and I'm pretty sure he'll say the same. We function well enough apart, but we're capable of so much more together.
I won't say he completes me; I was complete before I met him, but he is the perfect compliment to me. We're like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle: each piece is whole in and of itself, but they make so much more sense when you put them together.
So, I'm lucky. Despite all the trials and tribulations, despite all the separations and distances that have been put between us over the years..we are in love with each other, still.
And always.
I love you, Lonesome Traveler.
Soon.
