I wonder what it would be like to really be known by someone. To not have to explain everything you do. When you are thinking, they know your thinking face. When you want to be alone, they know to give you space. When you are sad, they know the right way to ask you about it. When you are worried, they tell you to stop, because they know that would encourage you and not make you angry. They would tell you the truth. You wouldn't have to explain yourself over and over. Misunderstandings would be few and far between.....they would happen, but they would know you well enough to know that you would like to figure it out. They give you the benefit of the doubt. They understand that your tears aren't necessarily because of sadness but can be of joy and they can discern the difference.....and that the tears can come about often. They would see your weaknesses and recognize their own, but love you anyway.....and even when they don't "know", they try to learn more.....
I wonder what that would be like.
