No Substitute For A Good Man

I am really feeling these biker boys. They are so much fun to hang out with. I got a total of about 5 hours of sleep over a three day period, so I am draggin' a little this morning...

Those of you that read my blog often know that I speak fondly of my man. Just when I thought he couldn't get any better, he does something to prove me wrong. He's the type of person that will give the cashier the money back when he's gotten too much change back...You know...Just a good guy.

You would think that, after you spend so much time around a person you know just about everything about them, but I am learning new things everyday. Good things. I never get tired of being around him. I love the fact that he doesn't smother me...He gives me the opportunity to be me...To have my own time, and my own space. It just makes me want to be around him more! The more I make love to him, the more he wants me...I won't be cliche' and say that my man is my soul mate, because I don't know if there is a such thing. But I will say this...I have never loved a man in this way. I love this man with my soul. I love the way he looks... feels... smells... speaks... thinks...The way that he treats me( he can go from treating me like a delicate flower one minute to bending me over and taking it from behind the next)...I love the way he pays attention to the smallest things. I love the way we end each argument with a smile, because we agree to disagree. I could go on, but I'll stop.

A love like this comes only once in a lifetime, and I will cherish it. You don't know love until you've had the chance to appreciate love, and to have the love that you give a person reciprocated tenfold.

I know that he loves me in return. It's not because of the diamond on my left hand, but rather the diamond our love has formed in out hearts...He shows me that nothing can come between us, even though we are tested almost EVERYDAY! We were talking yesterday about how people are out there looking for diamonds, but they forget that the must first start with a lump of coal. Just like coal, the relationship starts out new and raw. From the outside it's not very appealing, but you know what awaits...you know what you have and what you are expecting, but the process takes time and cultivation. I am glad that I have my diamond now...It's rare to find someone that you can talk to,laugh with and cry with, about anything. My man has now become my best friend. He hasn't taken Softpoken's place, he has formed a new place for himself.

I've learned that if you feel something for a person, you should tell them. So not only did I tell him, I'm telling you, I love my man. Whole-heartedly...and I will love him as much as I can, for as long as I can.

What gives you joy? For me it's my child, my man, and my family....Maybe it's a hobby, or a friend for you? Do tell...
