Only once…
Only once in your life,
I truly believe,
you find someone who can completely turn your world around.
You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more.
You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement.
Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful.
You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

(Tonight, the words sound so right! Thanks to Americanising Desi for introducing me to these!)
so very true..and very nostalgic…
you are more than just welcome
I want to hear someone make a promise and actually keep it.
I want to wake up to a person who cares as much as I do about love and sincerity.
hope, trust and belief. comes true at times we need most
If it is a song by the “legend”, then I am so pissed off that I have never heard this. If it is said by him then I am again pissed off for not having read this. Absolutely Perfect and the best thing is “Only Once”
Jai Bob Marley
I found it
you missed something(s)
Sounds like my husband, who happened to be my best friend before being my life-partner
I also met a friend, rather room-mate, in college hostel…who was also sounded just what Bob Marley describes!
beautiful words…one is lucky if they are able to live these words!!!
Hmm .. it makes a good read but I wonder if its true. Perhaps my time hasn’t come yet .. perhaps it won’t ever… but beautiful all the same. Yesterday I was reading a novel and came across something which made me ponder ..
“by love I mean a noble and sensuous passion, absorbing the energies of the soul, fulfilling destiny, and reducing all that has gone before it to the level of a mere prelude.”
after reading the lines you’ve shared. I guess those wanderings were merely a prelude and that once in the life time could come even after 100 times when you were wrong in assuming.. : ) who knows .. today I want to believe.
I am happy these words sound right to you!
I really want to agree with that…I really do..Once I did felt so…but time took it all away…may be she was not that ‘special’ person..may be she was
I wud say…give it some time…then you will kno for sure
…now then, my Rastafarian mate Bob, he said it right!! but ‘only once’?? maybe not. i know that life is not a ‘one-lucky-shot’ escapade. there’s always ‘more’…
keep looking!
*cheers*
Very very true indeed.. cant agree more to those words..
It might take time to create trust, bt stays for a long long time..
only thing to b careful is never to break it..!
I would have never believed it to be true if smething like this would not have happened in my life… we all meet someone for whom we feel that way.. but with me it happened so that we drifted… nothin hurt more.. beautifully written …
