I'm a believer

This has just been one of those days with a million little things to do, none of which seem productive. I got gas. I went to the post office. I dropped off a disk to someone, and picked up a print job from the printer. My big plans for the day included ordering a bunch of staples and cancelling our corporate subscription to a magazine.

It's just altogether unremarkable.

Last night was fun, though! We all gamed, and everyone was there! I hadn't seen Shel in ages. To top off the happiness, everyone was in a fairly silly mood; which pretty much made my week. It cheered Forest up, too.

This morning was also a bright point, in a way. Forest's brother and sister were making fun of him for being so 'tied down' and staying with the same girlfriend for so long. His dad chimed in with a great big 'That's not funny, it's his happiness and his life, and doesn't affect you at all;' and shut them right up. He went on to say that if Forest stayed with me, then good for him, because I was a real nice girl.

Makes me pretty happy, and makes Forest happy too. His dad is his best friend in the world (besides me) and his opinion matters a LOT. I'm glad to know he's behind us as we are consciously feeling things out with an eye to the distant future.

And things are looking really good for us. Last night we were pillow-talking on our way to sleep, and realized that we're each other's best friends in the wide world, and we like it that way. We also both honestly feel (even after all this time) that we were made for each other; he's the love of my life. Period. I've never experienced anything like this before, and I don't think I ever will again. It's a once in a lifetime sort of experience. He's my soulmate, through and through.

In the car on the way home last night, we heard an old song that pretty much summed it up:

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain

Then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried

We sang together and laughed, and felt like the luckiest people in the world. These were things we had said to each other when we first got together. We had both given up on true love, and were starting to thing there was no such thing. We'd both been in relationships where we loved someone but it just wasn't right.

Now we're believers. Neither one of us can imagine ever wanting to be apart. It's a lovely thing.

And wove... Twue wove will fowwow you fowevver, and ever...

(and if you got that one, you're my kinda person.)
