I am quite sure that we have all heard someone say, that if you truly love someone, you might have to let them go! The chance that this might actually happen has been a concern, the one thing that has been weighing so heavily on my mind. I love her like I have loved no other. We are such complimentary people, sharing so many incredible interests and desires. We both have an athletic background, are involved in health and fitness, take excellent care of ourselves, and have a passion for coaching others.
We also compliment each other in a way that is almost of storybook proportions. Both of us are very level headed, very open and honest, and know so many times what the other person is thinking. We enjoy each others company endlessly, can talk about virtually anything, do not argue or ever show any anger or remorse. We enjoy reading the same materials, offering new subjects without ever considering the acceptance or rejection. I have had to pinch myself on more than one occasion, remembering that this relationship is actually real!
The incredible nature of this relationship, coupled with the feelings that we both share and exchange openly, reminds me of how insanely difficult it is for 2 people to totally connect. Think about it! How many intangibles are there between 2 people of the opposite sex, let alone 2 people who live 6000 miles apart! How many elements of 2 diverse personalities, after all we are talking about human beings, need to parallel in order for growth and mutual understanding to actually take place? I doubt that anyone with half a brain would ever consider giving odds on the positive outcome of 1% of the potential relationships on the planet.
We are all compromising, changing for the other person, hoping that the other person will change for us, seeing the real person appear finally right before our eyes, and dodging the games and endless drama that exists in so many relationships! Now, I am only talking about those relationships that actually start out with a slight chance of being mutually beneficial, loving, nurturing and possessing the potential for some sort of growth. We are not even talking about all of those supposed relationships that are born out of convenience, settling for whatever because someone does not want to be alone, or the other person just happened to come along and the thought of someone thinking we were not involved would destroy us!
I am truly blessed! I have always thought that I was almost out of my mind for believing that what I held so dear to my heart, and hopefully one day would find in a woman, actually would take place! It has! Now, I get to experience another growing and learning episode, a very painful and exasperating one, because I have always been the worst waiter on the planet. As a result, and out of the incredible love and respect that I have for her, I am forced to let her go and take whatever time it is that she needs to figure this out! WOW! Just when you thought you had it figured out...love of this magnitude needs to be experienced by everyone at least once in their lifetime!
