Best Buddy
“When a person can find sorrow behind your smile, words behind your silence and love behind your anger, you can believe that you have found your best buddy”Unknown
I always say if there was an age that I would choose to be again, it would be 17. In Summer Bunnies, R Kelly says “18 and over 16 and under”. 17 so undefined, do you still remember what it felt like? I knew everything. No one could tell me anything. And now 15 years later, I know I knew everything about nothing.
Our quest is always to find “the one”. We have been made to believe that this person exists. I still don’t know whether there is “the one” or do you choose to make someone the one. For anyone who read my blog on “Friendship”, you would know where my thoughts come from, but this concentrates more on romance.
I personally haven’t found this one yet, but ooh I would love to. In my mind’s eye I can see what it would be like. Sometimes we put up the mask referred to in my blog “Your Signature”, but wouldn’t it be awesome to have the person who would be able to see your sorrow hidden behind your smile? Being totally unpretentious, naked and vulnerable with your beloved? Unafraid of being taken advantage of, judgment passed or rejected for your weakness.
I’ve often seen people look at their partners without saying a word, but their eyes would speak volumes. The emotion raw and evident even to the naked, untrained eye. I think that the only real way to say “I love you”, just with your silence, appreciating the person and them knowing exactly what you mean to say.
Fights, arguments and disagreements are normal in any relationship, however, what is uncommon is the ability to say “I still love you” amid the altercation. In your state of anger, the love that can still be seen by your lover. That is truly a treasure hard to find. To be able to disagree about “whatever”, but still affirm your partner that your feeling toward them had not altered.
I can agree with the author of the quote above, but would have added “Even more blessed and fortunate are those who had already found their ’best buddy’ in their lovers.
