Last night, I slept soundly, although briefly. The most relaxed and peaceful sleep I've had since I've moved here. I know why. Because I was sleeping next to someone.
And this morning, I awoke to sun awashing my face lightly. I heard a light click of a camera shutter, as my eyes drifted open to see him photographing me from across the room. A small smile on my face and a large grin on his, I rolled over to feel more sun warm my face. I turned back over, allowing him to take my photo again. He said it wasn't the same.
We talked briefly about relationships, the art of dating, how it ends the same way: heartbreak and loss. He said something that keeps reverbating in my mind, that love and relationships are formed and strengthen, not only through conversation, but support and standing by the person during times of change and challenge.
I immediately thought of Nick and so many realizations clicked in those few following moments.
"Once upon a time, I wanted to know what love was. Love is there if you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away in between the seconds of your life. If
you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it."
-Cashback, Sean Ellis
I know where I need to be. Not just want. But where I need to be...
