Counting heartbeats together.
I've been having a lot of moments lately where I sit back and really look at my life, or even just life in general. Normally it's the stars that unleash this slew of feeling and thought, but this time is different. This time, I was soaking in the rays of the sun, feeling the heat on my face, and you know what I realized? I'm blessed to be able to look around my life, and see several cases of true love. And the best part? A few of those true love cases I can see in my life, they're platonic relationships. Love that in a different life, they could be happily married together, but in this life they're perfectly content to be best friends, and enjoy each others company.
A good example of that, one night my room mate had a party. Her boyfriend and his best friend/room mate were both there. After a few beer, Chris looked me square in the eye and told me "If it wasn't for the sex, I would marry that fucker in an instant." All the while, he was pointing right at Brad (Who jokingly replied "What!? To much of a pussy to make an honest woman outta me?!")
Or a local band that I won't name, has a beautiful love song. That was actually written as a true bromance song between the singer and lead guitarist. (The singer also looked me square in the face and said "If he were a chick, I'd marry him right now.")
And then there's the fact, I've got two friends that I would do absolutely anything for. It doesn't matter that they're thousands of miles away from me, I love them with all my heart and there's nothing either of them could ever do to change that.
