The Spring of Something Beautiful

The new friendship I mentioned in my prior post has blossomed in ways I only could have dreamed.  (Someone please pinch me!)   How could I ever have been so blessed (again!) by someone that I feel so comfortable with?

The 'facade' has melted.  Each moment we spend together I find out a new nugget, a new story, a new twist that intrigues me even more.  We are trying to take it slow, not jump in too fast, and to just enjoy each day.  After all, what's the rush?

But there was one special moment not so long ago that I will never forget:  he told me he loved me.  LOVED me!   When I close my eyes, I still see exactly how he looked at me and it makes my stomach swim.  Oh my goodness!  My heart sang and my spirit soared to incredible heights....  

He has the ability to make me feel sixteen again!

He is so good to me.  He wants me to be happy!   (Amazing!)  And I the same for him.  I want to find ways to spoil him, if he will let me, because he most certainly spoils me!   I want to be his very best friend.  That is what we are working towards.  Because that is what makes things last with indelible beauty.

Life has not always been kind to either of us, no matter how hard we tried to make fairy tale endings.  But life continues to present another chance for us.

We have time.
