Here I Am

Someone once said, ~In the end, it's still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what is available. It is still best to wait for the one you love rather than settle for the one who is around. It is still best to wait for the right person because life is too short to waste on the wrong person.~ Let me ask you this question, how do you really know if the one you have been waiting for is the right person? It has been said that the person one has always been waiting for is never the one you expect to fall in love with. For it's simply an unknown because each and every one of us have an idea of who that right person is and what considers him or her to be that so-called diamond in the rough.

For the most part, that unknown person one has been waiting for, oftentimes doesn't have that certain electricity he or she feels at first like in past relationships. In some cases, that electricity that he or she expects to feel in an instant may not be felt right away. For it is gradual, as it slowly surges through one's soul and starts to jolt every part of one's body from the top of one's head to the tips of his or her toes. It's that undeniable energy you feel from that particular person that you can't quite figure out; but it's a familiar feeling that excites you and scares you at the same time. An energy that may take days, months, or even years for it to be felt and when it is finally felt, one will be "shocked" at who will be standing there.

Essentially, the one you have been waiting for all your life may not give you that spine tingling chill that makes you shiver when you talk about him or her. In many happy relationships, the guy or girl didn't really like that person at first. For it wasn't so much of chill that he or she felt for one's future girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, but rather a feeling of being ignored. In a way, meeting someone after waiting for so long is like setting off fireworks. Without a doubt, you can feel an immediate spark to the point where emotions just illuminate the night sky for all to see; but sometimes, it takes time for that fuse to ignite the fireworks of love which, in all intents and purposes, will provide a light show that is well worth waiting for.

There comes a point when waiting for the right person, you don't necessarily know if he or she will be the one that will complete you. Completing you in such a way that he or she will be the one and only person you fall in love with forever and that love will hopefully have no ending in sight. For he or she is not only the one you love, but also your very best friend who you can trust and are absolutely compatible with in certain aspects of your own life. It's within that person that you receive strength from even though at times, you didn't have the courage to stay on course; but you did. Without question, that person will consider you his or her North Star, which he or she will use as a guide to connect one's heart to yours.

In retrospect, it's painful to wait for someone that may or may not come into your life. Many of us, who are living the single life, have been waiting patiently for months and even years for that right person to show up at our doorstep. Undeniably, the anticipation of when that person will arrive can make us either impatient or sick to our stomach. For it can also bring a person to the brink of insanity as he or she questions what hasn't his or her time to be happy arrived yet? Ultimately, its put in God's hands as he directs that special someone into our awaiting arms. In the end, it's when we look up at the starry filled night sky that we find ourselves saying telepathically to that person: Here I am, where are you?
