Until

Until the day that you are me and I am you.....

A line from Stevie Wonder's "As".   Never really listened to this song before yesterday.  It's a beautiful tribute to someone that is loved immensely and will be "until", then Stevie describes all kinds of situations that could never happen.  Of course I think of him and all the lyrics describe how I feel. Listening to it, I feel bliss and happiness and love for him as much as the first time I realized I felt it. 

My learning of late has been mostly about the fact that HE is not me and I am not him.  Accepting the different ways we handle ourselves in situations is what the definition of love includes.  I missed that somewhere along the way.  I fell in love with him because HE was the same creature that HE is today, differences and all. 

Learning to trust that just because HE doesn't conduct his life as I do mine, doesn't take away from my life or our beautiful partnership.

We had a good day.  We toured a winery and talked and held hands and smiled at each other and enjoyed the amazingly beautiful day together.  HE stroked my hair, caressed my skin and I felt really good. 

I will miss him tonight.
