Im tired of feeling lonely. Some days are easier to deal with than others, but Im to the point where I dont want to have to just deal with it anymore. My soul yearns for that companionship only a lover can give. There is no other substitute.. believe me, Ive sought them all. I need that person who I know inside and out. I need that person who can stop me dead in my tracks by just smiling. I need that person too cuddle with and play with my hair as we waste the afternoon channel surfing. I want to fight about the checkbook and go grocery shopping together. I want to call someone babe and daydream about them at work. It a hundred other things that most people take for granted because love comes easy for them.

The weird thing is every where I look it seems that couples are unhappy. They are fighting, jealous, and unfulfilled. Some are just down right mean to each other. But instead of being deterred, it makes me want it more. I want to prove to the world (or just my friends) that true love exists. Ive had 30 years to take notes on the good, the bad, and even the ugly, and Im ready to put that into practice. Again, Im not pretending that angels will be singing every day, but is a lifetime of love, trust, and respect too much to strive for?
