what relationships are all about

i dont remember ever feeling like this.
it's the way the time flies and
the way your lips linger after each kiss
it's the fact that i'd wait forever
but it didn't take that long
it's the fact that you make me better
you make me strong
every moment that i know you
i am happier and free
i have someone to turn to
where i dont have to be
anyone but who I am and
you like me just that way
you hug me, hold me,
want me, you told me
that i shouldn't change a thing
Not for anyone but me
you love me just this way
as your girlfriend and your friend
for that i am forever grateful
because you have no idea
how much it means to have someone
to love me regardless of my faults
and all my insecurities, someone who
sees my imperfections as a perfect version of me
anything else would be unacceptable because she's not the girl you met, she's not the one you gave your heart to or the one you gave up again. i am different already from knowing you alone, you have changed my point of view. you shed a little light on things and i had been so closed off too. my eyes and ears open and i have you to thank, now i can see the world differently. each new day an unwritten page. a blank. I have no prejudices or expectations now. I take what i get and roll with the punches somehow. but now i have you to be there when i fall or even when i think i won't need you at all. you've been there without me knowing it, when i needed more that just my friends. you were there to reassure me again and again. Your kiss still lingers with me, your ring still fits just fine, you said you needed space, you said you needed time. i gave you everything you wanted and now im waiting patiently, for the one person i can talk to, to come back and rescue me. I would be fine by myself if i had never met you because then i'd be back where you found me, feeling trapped, alone, confused. You took me on a journey, im still enjoying this ride, you made me see that im a human being and now i have confidence and pride. thank you friend for what you've given me, we met for a reason. could it be destiny? for now i'll wait right here for you, i hope you'll again be mine, but until that moment graces me, I will give you time. when you care for someone you sacrifice somethings. you realize that these acts of kindness are what earn you your wings. you learn to be selfless instead of selfish, you put someone before you, you become number 2 on your list of priorities, things to do. You forget about what you want, you learn to compromise. you learn to give and take, but not take or give too much, you learn forgive and forget, but not so easily and not so much. you learn to trust and care, you learn to kiss gently and i learned to not swear. this is what relationships are all about.
