Not everything broken is unable to be fixed.

A little over a month ago, I posted a blip about Broken Promises.

This past month has given me new insight into what truly is not fixable.

This past week has given me insight into what I felt was lacking in the relationship that caused me to walk away from those 'broken promises'.

In every relationship, communication and compromise are key.

However, it cannot be one sided.

I have, we have, found a happy medium.....

One comprised of communication and compromise, of working together toward a common goal, instead of each taking our separate path and hoping they link up.

We have a long and hard road ahead of us, but I have hope for the future, and hope in the love we share.

Never once had I stopped loving him, never will I.

Yes, I have loved others, yes, a piece of my heart still lies with them.

But my future, my future lies with the one who has always stood by me, always been there to catch me when I fall....the one who holds the bottle of Gorilla Glue, waiting patiently for the pieces of my heart to stop falling so he can glue them back together.

I cannot state how many times he has rescued me from myself, from my life, from my own mistakes.

I cannot state how many nights I cried happy tears, knowing that my best friend would always be there for me, despite everything we had gone through.

I cannot express the tears of joy I cried last night when I placed this ring on my right hand, a symbol of a promise I make.

The promise to try and be a better person. The promise to try and be more understanding. The promise to keep my independence and still work toward a common goal with him.

He is the one man that has never lied to me, never hurt me so deeply that my world crumbles around me.

He is where my true happiness was, where it is, and where it will be.

We have a long road ahead of us, but the first, correct, and true steps have been taken.
