Running Home To You

Someone once said, ~I look at you and I'm home. I see nothing worse than to be without you because with you my soul feels complete, your the other half of me and I love you. You are my home no matter where that is.~ Home is where the heart is. For it's a saying that rings true for those who most definitely have that sense of home regarding their forever best friend after feeling as if they've been running non-stop, so to speak, within themselves or more specifically within their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Thinking about it further, it's what anyone living the single life strives for and hopes to one day experience to where there is no point in running anymore, in a manner of speaking, because of being able to set down roots with someone truly special wherever it may be.

As I said before, having that sense of home regarding their forever best friend after feeling as if they've been running non-stop, so to speak, within themselves or more specifically within their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. True, it can certainly be a tiring situation indeed constantly running back and forth within your own heart when you have absolutely no idea what every minute, hour, day or even how the future will unfold as it pertains to love/true love. Yet, as much as one can feel tired in every sense of the word running around in circles inside yourself and so wanting to have their status changed from single to in a relationship for reasons only that you're just feeling utterly alone is a foolish mindset to say the least. Hey, you have to pace yourself and if you don't you'll end up running yourself into the ground personally, mentally, and emotionally.

If you think about it, a person can be so consumed in metaphorically running towards establishing a significant relationship that there's an unfortunate tendency to miss out on what's happening in the world around him/her. Sadly, the mentality in which the world within their own heart is seemingly trying to run and catch up with everyone else who has already found a home represents a strong, worthwhile relationship. Oftentimes, that aforementioned mentality can turn into an obsession so much so it's considerably difficult to see even though it can clearly be seen by everyone as if it were standing right in front of them. What it primarily comes down to is now allowing yourself to let the world inside your heart gradually turn from light to dark, inevitably becoming lost running in darkness, in a manner of speaking, not knowing which direction you're going.

Let me ask this question to those who now have a comforting sense of home pertaining to love/true love, is he/she the light who always brightens the world in your heart? Of course, whether or not you knew right from the start you were meant to be with the man/woman who is now the quintessential light of your life is a question that is usually answered with just a simple smile. Essentially, it's a smile that can speak volumes without even saying a word knowing that one's partner in crime may not have known right away, but you did with 100% certainty. Granted, its a rarity these days to experience after witnessing/reading/listening to stories of how the lights of past relationships are now turned dark. However, when you know you've found your home the light shared between each other burns much brighter than ever before.

William Shakespeare said, ~The course of true love never did run smooth.~ In retrospect, Shakespeare was right as it can be considerably difficult to get your bearings straight involving where exactly home is involving true happiness. For the most part, it's not an easy road whatsoever as it's filled with unforeseen obstacles and not to mention overwhelming challenges to overcome. You see, if you don't quit and simply live the single life to the fullest while savoring every second of it then you're halfway home. Unfortunately, if you do it because you're too tired to keep running while everyone else is running past you then you'll never get to where you want to be. Ultimately, once you do finally get there it may not be a completely smooth run but it will undoubtedly be well worth it after all you've been through. In the end, while standing in front of him/her you’ll say no matter where or far I am I’ll promise to always be running home to you, which is a song by Grant Gustin aka Barry Allen from the musical episode of The Flash that inspired this thought.
