Missy and I celebrated 15 months together last week. Things are better than ever. Somehow, just over the last few weeks, we’ve made some new breakthroughs.
We haven’t even necessarily talked about anything groundbreaking or earth-shattering. It’s just the simple practice of sharing, of trusting someone with your thoughts, that is so rewarding.
Whatever fear I have of saying something to her comes from within me. She has never given me reason to hesitate to tell her how I feel. I know it’s always better to just tell her. I know it will pay off. I believe this deep down inside. And yet still I hesitate sometimes. But it’s always worth it. She can make me totally forget — in the midst of my tears, frustration, embarrassment — what I was even upset about in the first place. The love and caring and empathy she exudes when she looks into my eyes is so powerful.
I fall more in love with her every day.
