Something stupid, like "love steals us from loneliness"

Sometimes I cannot believe how astoundingly fortunate I am to be part of a love that is bigger than the world with a girl who matches and complements every aspect of me. The sense of balance and of orbit, of a gravity that holds us together and wraps around us as a circle and ward until the world outside has no leverage on the space within. Kisses that leave a magnesium flare afterglow on the surface of your soul, hugs that keep you warm at the thought of them. Like having your best friend to sleep over for always. The only thing that makes me sad about our marriage is that there is no amount of time that would be enough for this; that it has to be limited to the duration of our lives. That it has to be limited at all.

It took a long time to find, but it was worth the wait- though it was a wait that felt like an arduous long cut to despair. If you're on that path at the moment then keep on with it. Be brave, be honest, be prepared to make your own luck when it's not making itself. The world is full of connections that are just waiting to be made- take risks, talk to people, give yourself a chance.

I apologise if this reads like smugness and platitudes, that is neither how it was written nor how it was intended.
