“Only once in your life, I truly believe, wewe find someone who can completely turn your world around. wewe tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything wewe say and actually want to hear more. wewe share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, wewe can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with wewe when wewe are hurting au laugh with wewe when wewe make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings au make wewe feel like wewe are not good enough, but rather they build wewe up and onyesha wewe the things about yourself that make wewe special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy au competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. wewe can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of wewe because they upendo wewe for who wewe are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song au walk become invaluable treasures kept salama in your moyo to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and zaidi brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent au didn’t exist at all. A phone call au two during the siku helps to get wewe through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but wewe find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested wewe before become fascinating because wewe know they are important to this person who is so special to you. wewe think of this person on every occasion and in everything wewe do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind au even a storm wingu on the horizon. wewe open your moyo knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one siku and in opening your heart, wewe experience a upendo and joy that wewe never dreamed possible. wewe find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your moyo to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. wewe find strength in knowing wewe have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
