Never in my life have I met someone like him- so different from everyone and a whole new person with me. I have heard that someone only becomes a child in front of someone they feel safe with, only at their sacred place where no one will ever ask them to grow up and kill the happiest, most smiling parts of themselves. I have met this man and in front of me he sometimes becomes a boy.
Oh how much I love to see him become a child who laughs easy, who still likes Legos and turns around to see the fire truck passing by, how much I love him when he chooses going to the water park instead of anything else, how much I love to see him eat his chocolate cornflakes for Sunday breakfast after a long hard week of work!
Today, I read somewhere that only the woman living with her man, whom she loves can know him fully, everyone else are just misled by the decoy, He is just not what he shows everyone and I feel so grateful and overwhelmed to know that I’m someone who brings the child out in him, not so long ago he thanked me for sponsoring his adult childhood! That moment when he uttered those words left, that moment left but the feeling stayed, it is as stuck in my heart as the urge to see his eyes sparkle again and again!
I cherish every playful glance and every spontaneous laugh we share. His joy is my joy, and seeing him embrace life with such innocence fills my heart with boundless love. Every day with him is an adventure, a beautiful journey of rediscovering the simple, pure pleasures of life. I thank him for being the man who reminds me how wonderful it is to be a child at heart. I think all men deserve to be the boy they are at heart, I think all my dear men deserve a safe space !
