One year ago, I was waiting at the airport, my heart in my throat, nerves running jolts through my body. I was scared too, fearful that we wouldn’t be compatible once we saw one another. But as I looked up to see him coming down the stairs to the waiting area my heart stopped. His handsome face looked upon mine and I just knew that we were going to be together. Since that moment, I have never doubted that we made the right choice to become one entity, Dominant and submissive; to work towards that perfect relationship we were both looking for. Now perfection does not come easily. There have been bumps in the road, we have had to struggle with life and our roles. We have gone from complete novices to beginners and I think we will stay in this learning stage for a while yet, it’s a growth stage that will bring us closer to our idea of perfection.

Everyday I wake to find Master curled up next to me, and his warmth is my comfort, his sleeping face is so beautiful and it causes swells of love in my heart. I love this man more completely now than I thought I could love anyone. I work to give him piece after piece of myself, to surrender the ultimate gift of devotion and I know he will care for me always. In this knowledge I work to better myself for him, free myself from fear, doubt, independence in some cases, and offer all my trust in him everyday.

Every day that passes I think I have been blessed, that Someone “up there” cares what happens to me and has given me someone to walk with, care for, serve completely and to love. We walk the same path even now and the sunset only gets more brilliant, the stars more glorious and the evening eternal.

While we may think we don’t have enough of some things, or that our dreams are out of reach for the moment, the fact that we are dreaming drives us to become more, live more richly and enjoy each other’s company with every breath. The dream continues to be lived every day.

Although from the accounts in my blog, you know that there are times when we struggle, times when I doubt myself, and others were distance is evident, it never severs the bond we have, we always come back to each other. We learn, grow, and dream together. Our hearts continue to beat the same rhythm.

We are still young in love and life, we still have so much to explore, so much time to spend in each other’s arms. This future, this lifestyle, this love will continue to feed our dreams and hopes. I feel our love will strengthen as it has done this past year. And that bond we have will only bring us closer to that perfection we seek for ourselves.
