Wow Green. I read this post, and there are so many yes's that apply to my husband. This is my second marriage, and we've been together 3 years now. I thank GOD for him. He is truly my soul mate. You just made me realize again how very lucky I am.
Your soul mate is out there. patience, she will come your way, when the time is right!
Maybe you've already met her and don't even know it yet....Seems to me there are quite a few ladies on your list of blogs! You're too good a guy to end up alone so don't worry bout it, you won't end up like me LOL
It started snowing last night and isn't going to end until tomorrow, you snowed in up there too Green ??
dabich you are a very lucky women :)
yes Yes YES! I have felt very many of those feelings, if not all of them. But then again, I am totally a "feeling person", so I doubt there is an emotion out there that I haven't already felt ;)
I love the feeling of being in love: I love that security, that euphoria - it's only happened to me once... but WOW what a feeling!

Green, I pray that will be true of me as well.
I have tears in my eyes, Green. This post is beautiful. I spent the better part of the last 5 years engaged in rigorous spiritual austerities, in which there was no need for external companionship. Now, I am ready for an intimate personal connection. I have met the person who I believe is my soul mate, although one can never really know.
~Deb and I became friends because I emailed her asking her how to tell if someone is a dyko (I've been out for a long time, yet I have no female gaydar!). Thus, we forged a friendship that encompasses our faith and sexuality.
Getting back to my soul mate. I have learned SO MUCH about my limited mind, about the stories that I've been telling myself over the years about myself. I am ready to take the plunge and let this woman that I am very attracted to know that I want to spend time with her.
The thought of her makes me smile.
The thought of her sense of humor makes me laugh.
The thought of her beautiful eyes makes me blush.
The thought of her lips makes me swoon.
The thought of her essence fills me with light.
The thought of her touch makes me tremble.
The thought of telling her all of these things makes me feel alive.
Thank you, Green, for this beautiful post.
BTW--even though I called in the troops (~Deb) to help me dicipher whether or not 'K' is a dyko, I still don't know. I'll just have to find out, won't I??? ;)
thanks, green. Now I not only wanna kill myself, I wanna do it right now.
Green: Your post made me call my husband at work in the middle of the day... he's coming home now... :) Have you thought of writing dialogue for movies?? - S
sarafina,
please provide in-depth details of your husband's early return :)
Scribe- HA!!!! I will say that he will be handsomely rewarded... Did I mention he has to drive for 45 min. to get back here?? Working from home has its benefits.
awww, poor constant. she works from home and gets no benefits. way to rub it in, you mean mean woman you!!!
Apologies... :)
To all of you who responded so positively to this post, I thank you. I am deeply moved that my thoughts here elicited such a powerful response.
My inspiration for this post was drawn in part from the memories of a love gone bad and the hope for a fulfilling relationship in the future.
Oddly enough, I don't consider myself an overly romantic person...

'Could have fooled me!!! ;)
Bluez~yes I am :)
Green~ You are a born romantic!
GREEN--because of your post, I decided to go for it!! I made my first attempt to tell this 'special person' that I want to spend time with her. Keep your fingers crossed! ;)
bhakti: Good Luck!
Green: Kudos for writing such an inspiring post!! :)
bluez: do you know something I don't know about my ms. right?
Thanks for the compliment.
Bhakti & dabich: seriously, I'm not that much of a romantic. I have my moments, yes, but for the most part, no. I wouldn't even consider myself a closet romantic. I'll take the compliments though.
bhakti: good luck to you. Everyone deserves to be happy this way.
