V-Day and Worthiness
I was asked recently, purely out of curiosity, what it was I saw in my boyfriend. Having never been asked this in reference to Seth, I'm afraid my response may have been less than complete.
You see, I discussed his sense of humor, in great detail in fact. To be sure, his ability to make me laugh was one of the first things I noticed about him. Yet it alone is not the reason I love him so much. I neglected to mention his strong sense of responsibility, or the way he is quick to argue against injustice, whether it be little or not. Nor did I reflect on how he can make me feel better without really trying, or his honesty with me about all manner of things. Somehow I overlooked the fact that all he needs to do is smile in my direction to make my heart flutter, and that, despite how it may appear at times, we have a partnership. An equality and balance that suits us both just fine. We have an amazing relationship, one that has overcome many obstacles, and will survive many more I'm sure.
Having not said all this and so much more, (for I could go on about the way he makes me feel when he holds me in his arms, or how I find great joy in startling true laughter out of him.) I feel I have done not only myself and Seth a disservice, but also the questioner. After all, if it were not for my curious friend, I would not have had the enforced opportunity to put so much thought into this.
For that, I thank you!
