Just believe…

The love your heart seeks is waiting for you. Perhaps not in the places we customarily search and maybe not in the faces of those around us, but she is waiting for you. She is there just beyond our own fears, the fears that tell us we are not good enough, smart enough, thin enough, can’t dance well enough. I am 48 years on this big blue marble and I had come to a place of content, or so I told myself, that I didn’t need the warmth of another to make me worthy, complete. I am self sufficient, hard working and I was doing okay, but I was on my journey alone.
Through the wonders of social media, I reconnected with a girl from what seemed like several lifetimes ago, she was the “little straight girl” who got away. Our friendship so many decades ago was new and delicate, I had the BIGGEST crush on this young lady, she was 16, I was 19. Time was not the enemy, social pressures were, I was young and the “closet door” was in danger of closing with me inside, yikes! We all live our lives the best we can with what we are given to work with and what we struggle to gain in the process.
I found her in February, we spent a weekend together in March and the past has fallen away to reveal she thought of me often over the years as I did her. It is now early May and the song of love is in the air and in our hearts, we have fallen in love with each other. The sky is not the limit, for the Universe is open to us and our winged hearts. When the souls are meant to be, they will be, no matter the differences. Have faith, have hope and see the light at the end of the tunnel….and I will tell you…It is not a train!
