A relationship loses lustre and value when you stop investing into it. And surely a neglected entity is as good as dead if you give it up entirely.
When people love - trust, admire, believe and support - each other they tend to look out for one another, cover each other's back, think the best and make excuses for shortcomings that inevitably surface.
There are bound to be disagreements and disappointments but taken in a positive light and constructive manner, these serve to enhance, build and strengthen not only the alliance as a whole but the individual more so.
What privilege to be in such strong, steady and stable relationships.
Life is so much more interesting and engaging when there is someone you can confide in, share anecdotes, crack jokes, poke, argue and banter for ages on just about any topic. Yes, even a shoulder to cry on. You don't have to worry about offending him or hurting his sensitivities because basically both of you are committed and emotionally entwined to understand the workings of a healthy partnership.
You've learned to read signs and signals to act and react appropriately. There is no necessity to read between the lines or probe in an annoying manner. You just know.
You miss him all the time and look expectantly, with the hope to find him, in the sea of people you come across everyday, even though it's just wishful thinking. He is not near but still you would delight to catch a glimpse of that familiar face. You've grown accustomed to the mischievous glint in the eye; the cheeky smile; the gentle but firm voice; the reassuring touch. These are your daily manna.
A pact has been sealed with sworn allegiance to each other's growth, development, advancement and well being. Neither one is pushy but allows the other the freedom to explore, experiment and enjoy the offerings and wonders of this most amazing and enriching relationship you share.
How sweet....
