Vision of Love

Vday starts off right: Ashtanga practice @my pad

Well Valentines, here we are: Nearly six years out from my divorce and nearly two years out from the departure of my beloved New Englander, I've finally fallen in love with myself.

Sing it, Mariah!

Treated me kind
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me

Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered from alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived

I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me

I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven
Has sent down to me

Me.

That's right, I am the one that I've been waiting for. I'm the only one who will never leave me, so it's a good thing I've managed to become my own friend and lover!

Sure, all the things that come with a real, live, flesh and blood lover outside of you are great, and I am looking forward to fulfilling that vision of love too. But I now understand that I just wasn't fully capable of doing that until I managed to fully embrace myself...
