Random Thoughts
and
Loose Missions

yesterday was HORRENDOUS... if it could go wrong, it DID... all i wanted was to get away from home and run to you and tell you every little detail of what had happened... i just KNEW you could make it all better... you are so funny and so wise and so great at just listening... you have the amazing ability to help me make sense of all this madness around me without even breaking a sweat... i love that about you

so i waited all day to see you... you had things to do, and that's perfectly fine... but when you finally came home it was all i could do not to shout out every problem i had and then scream "fix it!" as loudly as i could...

but you know what you did?

you walked in, looked at me, and you were just silent for a moment... then you said the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me...

"You want to talk about it?"

that was all... and it was PERFECT... it's amazing how when someone looks at you and asks you that and you can tell they REALLY care the whole thing just disappears... POOF... GONE

i DIDN'T want to talk about it anymore... somehow just knowing that you were there for me if i DID need to was enough...

thank you... you will never know the power you hold in that one simple phrase

perhaps one day i can be there when you need to hear someone ask that...
