I'm still "in like" with you!

I still remember how it began. It was a simple text "So, we like each other don't we?" From that point on, I knew he would be in my life for awhile. For 8 months, our friendship grew and it was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. I really had never experienced that feeling before. I sometimes pinch myself to make sure that what I am feeling/seeing is real. This man really enjoys my quirkiness!!! LOL

But in everything, changes come. The everyday toils of life and work come into play so that the things that brought you so close together aren't there anymore. So when those things are not as blatant as they were do you say, "well I guess this is the end?" Five years ago, I probably would have said that. But through growth and maturity I have learned to trust in the things I don't see everyday. Today, I'm still "in like" with him.

I pray every night and the morning when I wake. Mostly for sanity and serenity as deal with the the everyday pressure of what goes on in this crazy career I have chosen. But at the same time, I pray for him. I pray that he is safe. I pray that the pressures that surround him don't take him to the point where he is about to "spaz out"! I pray that he knows that even though we are not in close proximity he is still one of the "best friends" I could ever ask for and I think of him often. But mostly I wonder does he still think of me.

In some way, shape or form, we find the way to communicate. Maybe its a text just saying "good morning". Maybe it is a phone call just to vent. Maybe its a chat here and there. Those little things mean so much beyond measure. It lets me know the thought is still there. A year ago things were very different. But in everything there must be change. Sometimes change can be a scary thing and make you think things that are few and far between. However, I am ecstatic to say that even though there is change, I'm not running away from it. I want to stay. I am eager to see where this journey will lead. They say those who endure grow stronger.

I'm still "in like" with him!!! I can't wait 'til our schedules permit and we can go on our next "date". I think I was just want to give him a big hug and not let go. He is one of the best things to come into my life and I'm proud to call him my "special" friend. :-)
