You're My Person

Everyone needs a person.  Just one person who you can share your deepest and darkest secrets with and no matter what they'll still be there to support you.  Someone who won't go running every time you make a mistake.  Someone who won't put down your dreams and ideas no matter what they may be.  Someone who will listen to you in times of need as much as you know you'd be willing to listen to them.  Someone who understands you...maybe even better than you understand yourself.  Maybe this person will be a sibling, a husband/wife, a boyfriend/girlfriend, or maybe just a best friend.  But everyone needs a person.  Because I think if you don't have a person, you start to lose faith in yourself.  There is no one that you can fully trust, no one that you can share absolutely any information with - good or bad - without receiving judgment.  No one who knows when to talk, and when to just be there in silence.  Without our person, we have no one.  And until we can all find our person I think we become plagued with loneliness and insecurity.  Because we know deep inside that there must be something about us that manages to keep pushing everyone away.  And this feeling only gets worse as more and more people continue to disappear.  So for our own sanity, we need to find that one person who will never run away; who will never disappear, despite our greatest flaws, despite our past mistakes and even our future mistakes that are bound to come.  We need that person who isn't annoyed by our presence.  The person who looks forward to spending time with us.  The person who we can count on for anything and everything; who will sense when we're struggling and need help and will know what to do, rather than desert us because they don't want to be bothered.  We all just need a person.  I need a person.  Will somebody be my person already?!
