Every now and then,

It seemed like she opened her mouth

And two voices came out.

Well maybe not two voices,

But two meanings of what she was saying

“I love you”

“I love you for now”

“I need to see you”

“I’m lonely and I know you will come when I call”

“I’ll text you tomorrow “

“Maybe I’ll keep in touch for a few days, then reach out again when I’m lonely a month from now.”

“You’re too good for me” or “you don’t love me”

“I like this right now, but I know I don’t want this, so I’ll make excuses.” Or “I want you to feel good about yourself but sorry for me, so next time I call, you will answer.”

It took a long time to understand the forked tongued language,

But once understood, I could move on.

And I did.

With someone who may still have 2 “voices”, but they say…

“I love you”

“I love everything about you. The good and the bad”

“I need to see you”

“I can’t wait to see you again. Every min we are apart, seems like an eternity.”

“I’ll text you tomorrow.”

“No I won’t…I’ll text you in ten minutes. And every once in a while after that just so you know I’m thinking about you.”

“You’re too good for me” (more something I would say to her)

“I am so lucky to have found you. I can’t believe you feel the same about me as I do about you. I’m the luckiest person alive.”

Finding the right person…the person with two voices, but saying the same thing in 2 different, yet beautiful ways… that’s the dream.

A dream that has become a reality.

It wasn’t always easy.

And it took a long time to learn,

But it has been worth every heartbreak,

To find the one that can hold my heart in her hand,

Hold it in her hand and not only keep it safe,

But help it heal and become stronger.

More willing to love.

More eager to fill her heart with love.

And make it stronger.

More willing to hold on to her tight with no doubts

More eager to look at her eyes and into her soul,

More willing to open my heart and soul to her.

More eager to become ONE…with TWO VOICES.
