By Your Side.

I watched a movie last night (The Lucky One) and although it wasn't anywhere as good as The Notebook, in it I learned something extremely valuable - things happen for a reason. There are happenings in life that is too intricate to be just coincidence. How did I get so lucky? What perfect timing! Then on the flip side, I ask how can such a sad thing suddenly unfold? But then I think back and realize that things happened for a reason. In this movie I also learned that people in the marines are trained to never worry about themselves. They were drilled to always watch the person by their side. With someone you trust by your side, you can aim full force for your potential without the fear of hurt and failure. What a powerful technique this can be, in any relationship. I know I am capable of giving such love. But the question is, are you? Willing to watch me from my side and guard my heart like it is yours? I notice that the marines are "trained" into this camaraderie - the trait is learned and practiced...and when time comes, only death will it part. There's an extremely powerful potential with mentality like that. Because when there is a pair with the same mind, two will always be better than one. Somewhere out there is an open heart with my name inscribed in the front. The sight of it will be distinct and gleaming from afar. I will feel warm, steady, and welcomed as I get near. And that special place by your side is where you will find me.
