The Beat Of A Butterfly Heart

Perfection Lies Within Our Hearts

I never planned on finding that 'perfect' person. The one I would share my life with. The one who would always understand me, even if they didn't always agree with what I had to say. The one who would love me for who I really was.

I guess all little girls started out that way. Thinking boys were gross, and running away when they tried to kiss us on the cheek. Scrunching up our noses when we saw couples staring deeply into each other's eyes, as if the rest of the world would simply disappear.

Yet as we got older, we began to see those gross little boys in a new way. A way that at first seemed more than just a little scary.

But slowly we begin to accept the fact that not all boys are wicked and sarcastic. They can be sweet, charming, kind...and on special occasions, even handsome.

But when we find that one guy who seems to make our bellies flutter and our cheeks flush. Who has that wonderful voice filled with so much laughter and happiness, it makes our knees go weak. The guy who's smile could light up a room. The guy who steals our first double take, our first blush, and our first shy smile. It's that guy who never leaves our hearts.

Well, for me, the one who managed to steal my heart was that guy. I still remember that fateful day, many years ago, when I met the love of my life.
