Why No Other – Why Only One

Summary

A heartfelt reflection on love and devotion—Why No Other, Why Only One—capturing the beauty of singular connection and the power of true presence.

Dedication to One

Why no other?

Because shadows dissolve 

in the presence of one light.

Why only one?

Because this one is enough— 

closer than heartbeat to heartbeat, 

a gift more vivid than any dream.

I do not ask the question, 

for the answer walks beside me, 

a guide, a joy, 

a purpose beyond myself.

Let’s do it.

Why no other? Why only one? Because all others fade like distant shadows, drifting at the edges of a dream. They are real, yet they do not enter my thoughts. My mind is filled with only one presence—radiant, undeniable—so whole that everything else vanishes in silence.

It is not a question without an answer. The answer stands before me, steady as light. It moves through my thoughts like a quiet reassurance. It lifts me when I falter. It strengthens me when life presses hard against me.

Why no other? Because no other brings such calm, such ease, such wholeness. This is why I sing—not with my mouth, but with my heart. For I have met no other who stirs such joy within me.

Why only one? Because this one is more than enough. This one awakens emotions too deep to share with anyone else. It is a gift more beautiful than any imagined picture. It is a guide who walks beside me. Only one has ever come this close—closer than one heartbeat to the next.

This is not a question but a truth. There is no doubt in my mind, no hesitation in my admiration. From afar, I may see others. They may be shapes of beauty and shades of grace. Still, my eyes are too absorbed. My heart is too full to make room for another.

Why no other? Because there is no other. Why only one? Because this one gives me purpose beyond myself. I hope that I do not speak alone. I hope that this one feels the same and carries the same unshakable sentiment for me.
