Confirmation

Honey, did you see that?  It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

A simple yes--a confirmation of how you feel, of what your senses are telling you, of what you think--is, sometimes, the only thing you need or seek for.  Unanchored, wandering, you relentlessly pursue that thing, that person, that moment that would affirm your existence. And what joy it is to find the confirmation you need in your significant other.   It is your partner you turn to whenever you’re hurt, thrilled, angry, happy, or frustrated.  Not asking for counsel, help or solution, you simply need him to be there.  Things from the inane and everyday to the important and insurmountable you can share with him without the fear of being ignored, judged or appearing silly.

Honey, did you see that? It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Yes, it is.

And it is, indeed. With him by your side everything becomes even more beautiful.
