For The One (Who Ever You Might Be)
I thought I had found the One. The person I was destined to be with for eternity. We knew each other so well, it's not even funny. We had our lines memorized, the ones that made sense only to us. I've dreamt about the One multiple times. We kept in touch often.
Yes, it seems that I had found her. But five weeks ago tomorrow I was told that I would lose my senses over time by my Lord. I was deeply saddened because things had been going so well. But I knew that my Lord meant well and that it was happening for a good reason.
As it turns out, the next week that I saw her for a lunch get-together, I couldn't taste my food. All my brain registered was hot and cold going down. Everything tasted like water, like nothing. This was fine by me. I could care less about the taste of food.
The following week that I saw her, I had lost my sense of smell. So my brain couldn't register her sweet-smelling hair. It was a smell that never ceased to capture my fruity imagination. I know had to rely on my memory for the smells and how wonderful they are. It tore at me because I took the scents for granted believing that nothing would take the pleasure away from me.
The third week came and my sense of touch had been taken away. I was stunned. When I would hug Her, it was like holding an air container against my body. I knew that she was there, but I couldn't feel the warmth of her body. That night I asked my Lord about the plan and if it was going to be followed through. My Lord replied yes to the plan and answered my questions.
Week four came around and my hearing was taken. I was devastated. I could certainly communicate with Her through text messages, but it wasn't the same. I could no longer hear her loving and caring voice; the voice that inspires me every day. My watery eyes told the story when I was at a loss for words. She would try to comfort me, but as my body could feel any touch, it was of no use.
So as my Lord will take my sight tomorrow, I will say that something that I rarely say: I truly love you. As I have from the day we met. It has become more obvious with each passing week and every sense that has been taken from me. I wish you the best in your life's pursuits. You will make the world a better place for us all.
This is for The One, whom ever you are.
