Not a neophyte anymore,
I have been around for a while.
My eyes are deep for they have seen life,
They have seen the storms and the sunrise.
When you are stuck in the storm
Without a sailor or a soul to guide, you realize
You alone and on your own are enough,
And after a few storms I figured
I never needed anyone for the ride.
One morning I woke up to see the sunrise,
Sunrise in middle of an ocean is a glorious thing.
Under the crimson orange glow of the sky
The water glitters like liquid gold,
The waves, wind, and birds come together
To create the sweetest of symphony
And the cold breeze carries the smell of sea
To your heart and it swells with glee.
It is when you experience joy like that,
That you really wish you had someone
To share it with, to tell your stories to
Or to live and relive those moments with,
For happiness is only real when shared,
And shared with someone who truly cares,
Or else it is but a faint fleeting smile,
Like an overwhelming puff of perfume
One moment it makes you heady
The next it evaporates into the air
And all that is left of it is a fading memory
That fades away almost completely
And a little too quickly.
That morning I finally realized,
That we all really do need someone
But not to survive the storm,
We need someone for the sunrise.

This is so wise and true! A relationship is best built on mutual desire rather than a need – someone you can’t live without. You may enjoy the book “The Psychology of Romantic Love” it has many truths just like the one you stated. I loved it. Check the reviews on Amazon!
Come see me???

Was revisiting my comments over the last month and just had to stop and reread this post. It was even better the second time, so I’m guessing the third time may overwhelm me.
I will save this to savor in one of those midnight storms that break into a beautiful sunrise, and think of your words and you! Such a talented writer, you are (Yoda speak). There are seeds of inspiration hiding in your work!!!

Thank you Chuck….I don’t know what to say.
I have left everything else I did with my life to write….Now I write whether someone reads it or not, No payments, no promotions, no fame just writing ….and feedback such as this one is all that makes it worth it.
Sometimes I wonder If I am looking at it wrong, if I am making a mistake and someone says something like this and I feel a little less lost.
So Thank you! 🙂
