when you think happiness, i hope you think of me

"Many people die with their music still IN them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live...Before they know it...time runs out."

--Oliver Wendell Holmes

You know that feeling, when you're having a good time, and all of a sudden you realize that this is one of those moments that is so much more; one of the images you'd imagine would flash before your eyes before you died. I'm not trying to be morbid. I mean, imagine your life as a series of snapshots... some as a kid, some from high school, college, whatever comes next (I'm still figuring that part out), and this moment, this moment is right up there. This is a moment where you can stop and really realize that you are alive.

What I'm trying to say is simply this: that is how I feel everytime I am around him. I feel the most alive, most like myself, most happy, most at home, whenever he is here with me. It doesn't matter what we're doing: driving, walking, watching a movie, playing a game, eating dinner, learning to shoot (!!), wrestling around, having a serious talk...

Everytime that I am with him, I feel like this. is it. And it's all I can do to keep from just telling him how very much I love him.

Sometimes I feel like that would be the best thing I could do, and others I feel like it's the absolute worst. All I know is this: I feel like I'm always waiting for something, like figuring I'll be ready and it will be right someday. What am I waiting for? All I have is now, and I was never promised a tomorrow.

So try as I might to forget him and move on and find someone else (maybe someone a little bit more appropriate...), I feel like this is it, this is who I should be with. And anyone who can make me feel the way that he does... well, that's worth a shot.
