Finding your Always.


It’s in the hard moments, the sad moments, the moments of desperation that you get to know who’s there for you. Who’s standing right there with you. Who really loves you. It’s not about the fun and games. It’s about the risks, about the bombs triggered to go off. Life comes back to you in a flash, eh? And what are the moments you’ll be reminding, who are the people you will be thinking of? Who are you gonna call to tell you love them? Who’s voice do you want to hear right before it’s over? Who’s face do you want to see? Do they love you enough to be there with you no matter what? To stand there with you? To take your mind off the awful reality and bring a smile to your face even in the darkest of times? Because that’s what it is all about you know. Not having regrets. Not double guessing actions. Not thinking if only. The little things. The big things. All the things. Every glance, every smile, every act, every word, every kiss, every Always. Because everything counts. Everything matters. Everybody matters. Every second of every day. It should be spent with the people who will stand right there with you.  They were right, you know? It’s not about the victories, it has never been. Because there are no victories. Only the battle. And the people who will stand there with you. Willing to fight with you. Willing to fight for you. Even when the enemy you’re facing is yourself. Specially when the enemy to be faced is yourself. And even if they have nothing else to do they’ll be there only so you’ll know they are there. Only to hold your hand, even if they can’t turn on the light, or a flashlight, or a candle, or a match. Plenty of fires could be taken down with a single word. With  a single look.
The hard thing is to find these people. The ones who’ll be with you no matter what. The ones who’ll be standing right where you stand. The ones who will make Always be every day. Because they will love you for who you are. They will love you in spite of who you are. And it’s not that they’re afraid of the stand, but because there’s no backing down on love.
They hold your hand and they’ll keep on holding forever.
And if you ever find somebody like this…. Don’t you ever let go.
Not even for a second.
Be their Always.
