Time has told me that these people I've surrounded myself with are quite rare finds.
Sometimes I have to laugh aloud at the place I've landed, with all of you here. It's quite different from where I'd thought I'd be or where I was just a short time ago. Yet I can't imagine my life with y'all. You are the soil to my roots, I couldn't possible stand without your support and you give me so much essential life energy by your mere presence.
With no one else could I stare deeply into your soul and be lucky enough to have that gaze returned. Nor could I stand in a passionate embrace on wet bricks whilst passerby's navigate around us. Sometimes I'm reminded of the reality of this situation and just how spoiled we are. We are capable of being ourselves with no fear of rejection or ridicule, AND that is rare. Sadly, I'm also reminded of the temporal reality of our geographic location. The curtain is slowly closing as this fantastic show is wrapping up. By no means do I believe that it is over. I'll be seeing you around the bend, I feel something deep inside that tells me we'll always be together.
