... the dream

I know exactly what I want... He has been whispering to me for years. I want that life companion that makes me question everything I have ever experienced in life... I want to stop in my tracks, lose time, be breathless , speechless ...wondering how I got through life thus far without him. I want him to be match, my mentor, my apprentice as we fill the niches we have both sought all our lives for. I want to experience the inconsequential things in life with him, while experiencing everything I dared only to dream for.

It was recently said to me that I am the ideal single woman, and I believe that to be the essential truth... I have everything I wanted at my fingertips... a home I am happy in; a car that makes me smile to slip into; flowers that spring forth throughout the year to add colour; a job that challenges me; friends and family that should be the envy of others. My journey through life has taken me to some interesting places and it's yet to take me to more. Because although that man whispers to me... he is in my dreams ... he is entirely out of my reach. I might be unrealistic... because I have had some wonderful companions over time and others that were less than wonderful, but they had a time in my life...and they were my lessons to learn.

This great love of mine would bear the scars of his journeys in life... the life that was his before we met. And I could sense that unknown and thank it for allowing him to cross my path. As he ages, I learn to love every crease .... every imperfection, because they are essentially him. Without question, I love him.... and cannot imagine a time when he wasn't with me, nor would I wish to. As I wake every day smiling , sure in the knowledge that he is my star... and will always shine for me.
