Our Room

I took a moment today to go to our room
I stand outside the door excited to enter again and slowly, very slowly open the door.
This way I get to savour the experience of entering this special place
As I open the door and step in I take a deep breath and immediately feel more alive
To say a breath of fresh air does not begin to explain how I feel
First thing I see: the walls
No bright colours or shiny glows yet both the colours and textures draw me in, its inviting, calming, it signals a place or tranquility and contentment
As my eyes scan the walls my attention is caught by pictures of you and I that fill the walls, I can’t take my eyes off it
Memories of moments of greatness and stupidity, laughter and tears, wiser encouragements and even wiser corrections,moments of coming together and parting.The night under the stars we spent making music, the days under the trees pondering life all make up the snap shots the gaily fill the room.My eyes already tearing up, I take it all in and just realize how special you are.

I touch the wooden arm rests I can always depend on, the fluffy pillows I’ve so often rested my head upon, the seat that already has an indent marking the many times I have sat on it and found a place where I can just be myself,no pretences, no prejudices, just plain old me.I sit down and realize that I could make a home here, not because it’s the perfect place, but because it’s a perfectly comfortable, uplifting, inspiring and challenging place for me
I’ve tried to show it to others, but to them it’s a room like any other.

I’ve tried to describe its incredible qualities but they don’t fully comprehend it, o I decided that I will love it regardless, enjoy and appreciate it endlessly and stay in it for an eternity.
This room is the love you give, the time we share and immortalizes our friendship.
What we share is our room, it’s our special place.
