“I would rather spend one life time with you than face all of the ages of this world alone”

We met as children, though we were not true friends at the time. We met again in adolescence, though there was romance and even a kiss, the time was not quite right. We talked through the years of small things and grew close. When we would see each other a gentle “be still my heart” was whispered. We met again as adults, and became best friends. As our friendship grew it became clear there was something more, something deeper than just friendship between us. A love that had waited patiently for years, until we were ready.
