All I wanted was someone to be laying in the sun, quietly reading with me. I wanted someone to put their arm around me when the sunset chills roll in. I wanted someone to curl up in blankets with me and talk as the moon comes up. I wanted someone to look at me the way I look at the sunsets and the moon and the beaches. I wanted someone to look at me and smile because I am the best thing in their world. I wanted someone to give me that special face.
Instead I got someone whose face lights up when he sees me. I got someone who’ll put their arm around me and hold me close before I have to ask. I got someone who’ll hold my hand as I lay in a hospital bed after an accident that could have killed us both. I got someone who truly understands what I've been through. Someone who doesn't have a smile for me, but a whole face lit up as he watches me do the simplest things. I got so much more than I bargained for. And it’s everything I've ever asked for.
Now let's just hope I don't screw it up.
