In a lifetime you meet many people.
Some you treasure and some you leave
Some you hold and others who hold you.
Then there is the rare person that you meet that you hold in high regard
You learn from them and they learn from you
You laugh together
You inspire each other
You share your most intimate thoughts
You are real with them, no facades, no walls, no barriers.
The value of honesty and trust are core to you both.
It is this individual that helps you grow
How? By challenging you everyday.
They walk with you sometimes guiding you holding your hand in front of you.
Other times behind you and you leading them on their life journey as they have led you.
Most often than not they are right beside you sharing each others lives.
The value you find in the person you cannot put a price on because it is so rare.
When you find a special person like that you are free to be you.
The key to the relationship is the trade that exists within the relationship.
One time someone gave me the key to the trading relationship. Not the key to their heart, but the key to opening my eyes to more freedom.
That person is you and no matter where we go in our lives I will always treasure my life lessons. You changed me and allowed me my freedom. You grew with me and helped me see things in a new light. I know you have learned from me as well.
My trade is that you saw the same things I did in return and that we will always remain friends true to our values, moral codes and naked conversations. You are the inspiration for these written words.
