That Someone

[cantony]

There are times that I wish I had my own 'someone'.
Someone who regularly calls in on me to see if I'm alive.
... who I can call when I see something so simple yet absolutely beautiful that I want to share.
... who patiently listens as I stumble my way through rehashing the ups and downs of the day and at least pretends to understand and care about what I'm saying.
... who can read me and tell how I'm feeling.
... who I can explain my problems to and then just hold me and tell me everything will be okay as I cry on their shoulder.
... who understands why I need to do what I'm about to do.
... who I can share my good fortune without fear that they will get jealous of me.

But for now,
I will be thankful for this time I have alone.
... take care of myself and make sure I stay alive each day.
... continue to admire the beauty of the world around me, alone.
... continue to work out my problems on my own.
... keep my problems to myself and convince myself daily that things will be fine and wipe away my own tears when things are tough.

Thankful, so that I will be strong enough to do the same for that someone when we find each other.
