For me, my step-dad was the father I never really had. He taught me things about his job, which was carpentry most of the time, he taught me what he could about working on cars and he even taught me how to box. (himself having been a boxer in the army and he thought some self-defense would be good for me) He taught me how to ride a bicycle, he taught me about the birds and the bees and he taught me how a real man treats a woman. Most of all, and most important of all I think, he taught me what love really was.

He never came out and said, "This is what love is" or anything like that. No, what he did was accept me as his own, after I practically begged to call him Dad. He treated me as I was his own child and never once did or said anything that would give anyone else outside the family the impression I had not been his son from the start. He taught me that no matter what, as did my mom, if you truly love someone then no matter what you don't agree on, you can get past it and still love each other just as much, if not more than before.

I didn't learn all of what it means to love someone while growing up. To me, that is something that you continually learn throughout your life, as you encounter different people and see how differently love is between people.

I love my friends because they're my friends. They would do anything and everything within their power to help me in a time of need, no matter how big or small.

I love my family because, no matter what you go through, no matter what you do, they're still you're family and they forgive.

What I want in my life, not necessarily now...or next week, next month or next year, but some day...is someone I can take all these aspects of love and shower them upon her like rose petals.

I miss the closeness shared. I miss going to sleep next to someone, her wrapped in my arms or I in hers, knowing they will be there in the morning...and every morning after that. I miss cuddling up during a thunderstorm to watch the light show God created, to listen to the rain falling on the roof and on the grass, to listen to the thunder as it echoes the beating in our hearts. I miss sharing those knowing little looks that couples have when something reminds them of another time, that little smile that says...oh yes, I remember that day and will cherish it for the rest of my life.

Yet, I don't miss love. I think that love is, and has been, in my heart all along. I believe that love will always be there, waiting to be given a target even if I'm with someone, because each day is a new day and I will love that person even more than the day before.

I miss being able to share that love that I hold in my heart. And like fine wine and women, it only gets better with age.

Thank you for listening, if you have. I think I just needed to get this off my chest...somewhere...somehow.

Most of all, and most important of all I think, he taught me what love really was.

She I wasn't wrong you are one of the good guys.

I love my friends because they're my friends.

I am glad to see someone else feels the way I do about this. I've never turned my back on a friend and I never will.

I love my family because, no matter what you go through, no matter what you do, they're still you're family and they forgive.

This is true and if its bad enough they do forgive but they never let you forget. Which is simply a lesson learned so you never do it again.

What I want in my life, not necessarily now...or next week, next month or next year, but some day...is someone I can take all these aspects of love and shower them upon her like rose petals.

Don't rush, you will find it when you least suspect it.

I miss the closeness shared. I miss going to sleep next to someone, her wrapped in my arms or I in hers, knowing they will be there in the morning...and every morning after that. I miss cuddling up during a thunderstorm to watch the light show God created, to listen to the rain falling on the roof and on the grass, to listen to the thunder as it echoes the beating in our hearts. I miss sharing those knowing little looks that couples have when something reminds them of another time, that little smile that says...oh yes, I remember that day and will cherish it for the rest of my life.

Ok now I miss those things and I hadn't even thought of some of them.

Yet, I don't miss love. I think that love is, and has been, in my heart all along.

Love never leaves, its there in every look you have, every word you speak and every gesture you make.

Thank you for listening, if you have. I think I just needed to get this off my chest...somewhere...somehow.

Thank you for letting me and everyone else listen well read, you have a wonderfully beautiful way with words.
