I've felt intimacy so deep I felt it may overwhelm me, a feeling I welcomed and feared consecutively; I felt out of control and unsure if, should I lose the feeling, I'd find my way back to the person I was before. I eventually came to the understanding that I'd never be who I was before because of the love and intimacy and that I actually didn't have any desire to be that person any more anyway; I was happier with who I'd become as part of that special and unique bond of love and intimacy and the companionship that came with it.
That intimacy I felt was shared someone I loved desperately and with my whole being, and I still do and along with it came growth, change, and a sense of having found who I'd wanted to be all along, but didn't know it at the time. It is a love that distracts me and keeps me focused, that sets me free and enfolds me tightly within its embrace at the same moment and that guy and I share a companionship I feel certain is unbreakable, or close to it.
I believe that mutual love and companionship is one of the best things life has to offer a person and that companionship is not the sole domain of lovers. I've found it with friends and family also, and that's something I wish everyone finds as soon in their lives that they possibly can.
Having an intimate and loving partner as a friend is the best thing you can have in life.
I had a lover, I had love, I had a friend, but every time I went home, I was unhappy because that relationship was not complete.
It was only when I experienced what you are writing about, that I love a woman with whom I am intimate and who is my best friend, that I experienced a real emotion.
It can take some time to find this but once it's found a person should nurture it and the person who helped create it.

He's certainly a keeper and someone I value over all others and anything else.
I'm well, I hope you are also.

Glad to hear. Got my wobbly moments but making the best of things when I can.
It's beautiful that love changes us so. We grow and flourish with it, and soon we could not define the way we view the world without it being at least a small part of it! Companionship in any form is wonderful, it's something I hope all others have and hold as well 💕
Change is inevitable and I love how this changed me, and changes me still; I love changing with this person beside me and as time and experiences shape our lives together.

I have learned that true love, the one that transforms you, gives you strength to face anything. It is like a shelter in the middle of the storm, a place where you can always come back and feel safe. And I'm not only talking about the love of a partner, but also the love of friends and family. That support network is what keeps us on our feet when the going gets tough. But I forgot to mention one love that is great and that is the love of daughters, as a father of two princesses that love is unique.
I think you have said it quite nicely and I agree with you, so thank you for taking the time to come along and read my post.

That balance that love gives us is great, it's a perfect point where ... if it changes us, it is rather an evolution of our soul towards a purer stage. That is beauty. Beautiful reflection Becca. Thank you.💗
Thank you, I write what I feel unless it's too private.
Becca 🌷
Me too, hug!💗
They say something better always comes later, I believe in that, and I'm very happy for you.
This sometimes true, however not always.
Thanks for commenting.
