The Right Person

When you meet the right person,
a part of your soul lights up.
They make you smile,
and tickle the inner most parts of your being,
with all the things they say and do.
They accept you,
for who you are,
and embrace every quirky,
and silly thing you do.
You strive to be someone better,
because that person sees the best in you,
and you want that part to sparkle and shine.
Like a fire,
your like,
may fan into a full flame of love,
and before you know it,
that person is consuming your every thought.
When you wake in the morning,
when you lay in bed at night,
that person is with you in spirit.
You know you are in love when you begin to sacrifice what you want,
What you need,
and you start to live to please.
Live to please them,
live to be near them,
and nothing can take that away,
not even time or space.
That is when you know,
You have met “The One.”
The one that changes your life in the most profound way,
and you most certainly are never the same.
Some may search for love,
and never find it,
for love lingers in the secret,
undetected,
until one day it decides to appear and takes you to places you’ve never been.
Places you never asked to go.
Those who look for it,
rarely ever find it,
because love knows the best time,
the best place,
and the right person.
Some mistake lust for love,
that burning passion,
that only wants to please itself.
Lust seeks to take,
to feel good,
but it does not last, it fades.
The fire quickly ignited,
does go out,
and lust seeks another person to reignite that flame.
Oh, but Love.
Love gives, and gives, and gives,
till there is no more space.
Love saturates,
penetrates,
and permeates,
every area of your heart and soul.
It does not leave you empty,
but has you begging for more.
Love accepts you as you are,
and wants to nurture you,
please you,
and meet every need in the safest most purest way.
So don’t settle for lust.
Don’t look for love,
but live every moment to the fullest,
and before you know it,
love will be knocking at your door.
And the person you never thought you’d meet,
will be waiting with open arms.
They won’t complete you,
but compliment you,
like two pieces of a puzzle,
cut out exactly to fit together and make one beautiful piece.
This is when you know you’ve met the right person.
