Love in your heart
What is love? How many people have asked that question? How many authors have immortalized themselves putting this question in poems, plays, movies, or novels. Does anyone care? My guess would be that most of us care. Especially if we’ve found love and lost it. It’ll drive us all crazy. It drives me crazy. There have been many times when I was in a relationship and I wondered if I was in love. Then there was one relationship where I knew without a doubt that I was. My heart was crushed when that relationship ended. It was crushed and sometimes I wonder if it’ll ever be whole again.
What was it about that relationship that made me know that I was in love? Part of it was that my happiness came from making her happy. We did things together that we both enjoyed. We found pleasure in being in the same room together no matter what we were doing. Our sense of each other’s humor was finely honed. With a look we could crack ourselves up. We had a routine that worked for us. In the morning I would get up to fix coffee, and then we would go through a little work out together. I swear it was only ten minutes, and I was in the best shape of my life. Then time to shower and get ready for the day. We would always talk about what we were planning to accomplish that day. What were we going to do? Sort of a little plan of action. Then in the afternoon we could discuss what we had planned to do and what we had actually done.
I found the intimacy addictive. Never was there a companion to whom I could reveal everything the way I could to her. Of everything that was lost this more than anything else hurt the most. One minute she cared and then… nothing.
Now it’s like she never existed. No one I know has any idea where she is. It’s just as well because the last time we talked she made it very clear that it was over. Still I find that my heart has love for her yet.
Do you have a love? Tell them tonight how much they mean to you. Let them know that you care for them above all else. Make sure that they’ll never forget the love in your heart.
