Why are you here?

"Why are you here Jon?"

"Why am I here?"

"Yeah, why are you here in this life?"

"I'm here because I breath in oxygen through my nose which then goes to my lungs and then it goes into my blood...."

"No, shutup Jon, nobody likes a smartass.  You know what I meant.  Why do you think you are here?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm here to keep my little brother company."

"Yeah then he wouldn't have such a great older brother."

"Yeah, I guess.  Maybe I'm also here to keep him alive."

"You know if you weren't here then I wouldn't have had anyone to talk too."

"You could have gone to your friend you know."

"Geez Jon you always know how to kill a moment don't you?"

(Both laughing)

"Hehe sorry."

I've gotten used to killing moments.  It's my safety net...I'm usually afraid of what will be said next...but I guess I wanted to get this out...

I guess what I meant to say was this...

"I'm here because God in his grand vision sent me unknowingly into your life to be there for you in times of need.  And he did the same with you when he sent you into my life.  If you weren't in my life then I would have never appreciated things I had never really appreciated before.  Like the novelty of your smile.  The warmth of your presence when you're around me.  How beautiful you look in the moon light.  The way my day brightens just a little when I pick up the phone and it's you.  And I would have never fallen in love with anyone the way I fell for you. "
'God sends a person into your life for a reason.  For whatever reason I'm in your life and why you are in mine is still not yet decided...but, hey, at least we're going to find out together right?  And maybe, just maybe, we're meant to live together in some grand beach house somewhere.  You know the one with the swinging lawn chair out on the backyard facing the beach." ;-)

But to tell you the truth,
As of right now, I really don't want to know why I'm in your life.  The truth may suck and I may just be part of your life for a temporary period or I might just be here to keep you company while you're bored.  I really don't want to know.  Not yet at least.  I'm just hoping that I'm here for more....a lot more.

Oh, and try to warn me next time before I kill another moment.
