Have you ever felt the whisper of a child's voice as she pulls your head down level with hers and whispers, I love you? Have you ever felt the gentle brush of a child's lips on your cheek or the pressure of her head as she leans on you, accepting whatever you will offer, and always asking for more? Have you ever looked into someone's eyes for the first time and felt that you'd known them for a lifetime? Everything about this person is as familiar to you as your own person. The texture of a voice, the inflections of a heart, the shadows of a soul, the rhythms of a friendship... all coming together in a corporeal form. A form made all the more beautiful because you have known this person from the inside out rather than from the outside in... Have you ever loved someone to the ultimate depth of your being? The joy of hearing this person's voice, seeing their smile, feeling their laughter, all combining to give the greatest pleasure this world has to offer. A companion... someone with whom you can do things that you both enjoy, and yet still have time to yourself to do things only you enjoy. A friend... someone with whom you can share anything and know you will be understood and still be loved. A soulmate... someone who knows you inside and out, accepts your flaws, embraces your strengths, encourages you along the way when you feel you are losing the war and not just the battle. Someone who complements you, mirroring you, exceedingly similar yet ultimately different...Birth sign: Not entered
