I want to love you for a long time. Never letting you go and never giving you a reason to go. Because you and I share something special. And I truly believe that people walk into your life for a reason. What's the reason, you never know. Sometimes it's a seasonal thing and others are long-term. That's why I choose to be completely honest. That helps to determine some people's motives quicker sometimes. But with you there is just no reason to hide anything. I don't care if I was poor, a criminal facing life in prison, rich, bi polar, a whore, running for president, etc....I would still want you by my side. Because I yearn for that connection that we have and I can't see letting that go. I just want you. And it's hard to explain why but I'm trying to explain it anyway. Because not until you grow do you appreciate everyone that walks into your life. Whether good or bad came from knowing them I guarantee you learned something. And already I have learned to appreciate you because I'm aware of what I want and what I need from you. Communication rules the nation and that's number one on my list. If you can provide me with knowledge then I'll accept it. Encourage me and I'll use your words as extra motivation to do what I need to. Shower me with praise and I'll gladly share that back with you. But it doesn't end there. Anything that I can do to make you smile and help you in life is what I'm about. I want to shower you with love and be there even when you can't realize that you need encouragement. I feel as long as we have each other then we have Hope. Love. Peace. Friendship. But again it's hard to explain this to you. Especially since I don't yet know you. This is just what I wish I could tell that one friend. That one that I share a deep connection with and can love on many levels. Until that day comes I'll continue to thank God because I know that right now He is preparing me for you.
