I was reminded today that love is a work in progress, and that’s a beautiful thing.
I was in the kitchen, getting ready to go to work, giving Hisami a hug, and I told her, you are the perfect person for me.
And I was just feeling this overwhelming love that comes many times throughout the day, when Hisami is just being herself in some tiny moment, and I just feel so grateful to be together, and I’m just so happy.
And when the hug finished, all this warmth and everything, I’m feeling great, and Hisami looked up at me and she said, “Really, am I?”
Of course, I just walked into the door down the hallway and I said, “oh yes, yes, you’re my favorite person. I’m so grateful to be with you.”
And then I realized, wait, I’m sort of talking on the surface here, and Hisami was going deeper.
So as I was putting on my shoes, I paused for a moment and I asked myself, I reflected… Is Hisami the perfect person for me? Or is it just something that I say?
And I remembered, ah, there are things that I would like in the relationship that are different than now.
I would like to connect more deeply with Hisami more often than we’re doing right now.
Sometimes I’m distracted with work or we’re doing our own things, and I may forget to connect deeply with her.
And then I realized, wait, this is actually a sign that she is the perfect person for me.
The fact that I’m wanting more connection and more depth than I have right now has nothing to do with the person being wrong for me.
It’s actually the opposite.
She’s right for me, and that’s why I’m wanting more.
That’s why I’m wanting more connection and time and everything in the relationship… because I’m so in love.
Not the other way around.
So I gave Hisami a big kiss and said, yes, you are the perfect person for me. That’s why I want more.
