Friends~ Soulmates ~Bob Marley

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone
who can completely turn your world around.

You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.

You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true,
goals that were never achieved and
the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait
to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.

They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting
or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself.

Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are
not good enough, but rather they build you up and
show you the things about yourself that make you special and
even beautiful.

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but
only a quiet calmness when they are around.

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think
of you because they love you for who you are.

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note,
song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart
to cherish forever.

Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and
vivid it’s like being young again.

Colours seem brighter and more brilliant.

Laughter seems part of daily life where before
it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all.

A phone call or two during the day helps to get you
through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face.

In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation,
but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby.

Things that never interested you before
become fascinating because you know they are important
to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and
in everything you do.

Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky,
gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may
be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience
a love and joy that you never dreamed possible.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart
to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you.

You find strength in knowing you have a true friend
and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end.

Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile.

Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part
of your life."

— Bob Marley
