Believe it or not, Chandler and I are quickly approaching the four year mark of our friendship...December 27th, to be exact. This period of my life has been, without a doubt, the most rewarding fulfilling thus far! He is EVERYTHING to me, and we are EVERYTHING to each other! I don't know if either one of us could have madeit over some of the hurdles we've been faced with without the other one! We are, and always will be true soulmates!!!!
With that said, it goes without saying that we don't need material things to express our love for each other. Although, I still don't feel we need them, a conversation that we had after watching a Kay Jeweler commercial got me thinking. In the commercial, the woman is deaf. The guy that's presenting her with the jewelery tells her he's sorry his sign language skills aren't very good yet. She tells him he's doing fine. Then he tells that he's learned a new sign, reaches under the Christmas tree, hands her the Kay box, which is an engagement ring, and signs merry Christmas...his new sign.
As it ended, Chan, who had been sitting with his head on my chest, picked it up to ask, "Would you wear it all the time if I bought it for you?" I told him that would depend on what it was because I have a hard time finding things I canwear all the time becuseit all gets tangled up very easily. He says, "So, if I were ging to, you woul wanna be with me?"
"Yeah, it would be best."
I've replayed that brief conversation many times since. Why? Well, because truth be told, I've wanted jewelery from him for a long time. I don't want it because it needs to represent his feelings for me, but because I feel like this would keep me as close to him as possible no matter where I'm at.
Some of you who raad this, especially YOU, Chan, will be wondering why I just didn't say something. I don't know, something about verbalizing it felt weird. Nonetheless, now that I've reached the end of this confession session, it's out there!
