I wake up next to the same woman everyday. Her breathing, it’s shallow and warm, I know she’ll have most of the blanket wrapped around her legs….I love her. I love this, knowing exactly who she is. That’s a feeling I’ve never had with someone. Relationships for me were always a guessing game, emphasis on game. That uneasy feeling of partial trust, the ache of just wanting that person COMPLETELY. Ownership is not the goal, that’s what I had wrong. She has taught me so many things, like how to be a good partner. Without rules or regulations she shows me how to be a better person. I never want to disappoint her. I think that’s love more than anything. Not wanting to disrespect or hurt the other person so much that you just don’t. Hurting her would hurt me. Love is hard yet so effortless especially when you find the one your soul has always desired.
