I will wake up about thirty minutes before you. Walking down the hall, I will glance back at your slumbering body and I say to myself, "How did I ever get so lucky to be with you?"
Careful not to make too much noise, I pull out skillets from our cupboards and eggs from the refrigerator. I am a great cook so I start to whip together the perfect egg omlette. As I cook your breakfast, I hear a noise behind me and your arms wrap around me in a tender embrace.
"Good morning," you say.
I reply with a kiss.
"Please, no bacon this time," he implores as he grabs a cup of orange juice. "You now I can't stand it."
I smile at his picky eating habits and hand him his omlette.
"There's bacon in this."
"No," I say. "There isn't."
He looks me in the eye and says, "How did I ever get so lucky to be with you?"
My friends call me a hopeless romantic. Maybe I am. I am one of those people who believes that there is true love in the world, and that love should and can be experienced by anyone who pursues it. I am looking for that love.
I wonder if I will ever find it?
I think you will find love, Andy, because you're looking for it. I read an interesting quote from Neal A. Maxwell this past week that has stuck with me: "What we insistently desire, over time, is what we eventually become and receive in eternity." Here is the whole talk if you're interested: http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=57acdbdcc370c010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD
ReplyDeleteI really like it - it helped me deal with something I was struggling with.
Can I bring up just one other point? You may find love, but it might not be what you expected. Just remember that "happily ever after" is a looooooong time, and you will experience a lot with your companion - good and bad.

I second Mrs. Potts. You will find those mornings of perfection looking at your loved one. Sometimes you will wake up and see drool coming out of their mouth and go, "Eww". Some days they will be the perfect comfort to you and some days they will say the wrong thing and make you more frustrated with the world.
ReplyDeleteBut you will find love. If your heart is felt with love, love will find you.
I really like this post. This is something I dream of it is only a dream now for me. I hope you find your Mr. Right. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's very simple, yet romantic. ^_^
