Okay --- I’m trying to work through writer’s block, and this was what came out of it. I don’t even know what title to use, so I guess I’ll attach to it the only description that comes to mind.

“Random Thoughts”

It’s funny isn’t it?

It’s funny how you can spend your life looking for that perfect someone, that one being that will complement you, bring out your best qualities --- show you what it is to really love someone, and yet you never realize that the reason why you haven’t found what you’ve been searching for all this time is because you have looked everywhere but right in front of you to the one person you hold dearest and closest to your heart. Your best friend; your soul mate … the one without whom your life loses its meaning, and the world suddenly has no color.

It’s funny how you lose track of the important things while you’re out there chasing what seem to matter … but doesn’t really count, in the end.

Maybe it’s supposed to be this way --- maybe you’re supposed to go through all these things, face every obstacle placed on your path and overcome it, before you have the clarity to really see, to finally admit that you’re already the only place you’ve ever really wanted to be, with the one person who makes your day a little brighter, your night a little less cold, and your life a whole lot more interesting.

Maybe.

I look at you now as you lie next to me, your eyes closed and your breathing soft in your sleep, and I wonder …

I wonder if there was a time when I didn’t love you, if there was ever a day when your smile didn’t erase my troubles and ease my worries --- and I already know the answer, I have always known.

You are the one for me.

You are my everything … and you will always be my best friend … Imzadi.
