You asked me what true love was..
To be honest, I wondered for the longest time what true love felt like… I went on a search for it. I spent days, months and years trying to find the feeling of true love. Sadly, everywhere I looked there would always be something missing. I didn’t really know how to fill that gap, I searched everywhere, but couldn’t find it anywhere, until I met him.
He is different; He is patient, caring, graceful, righteous and a true leader. He knows exactly what I wanted and needed without me saying or asking anything. He is always there, looking for ways to care for me. He makes me sit back and relax.
When I’m in his presence I never need to stress, because he tells me “I got this” and he does. He knows how to handle everything with care. He loves to provide. He loves to give. When I ask, I receive above and beyond what I’ve asked for. He’s always ready to listen. He also shares stories with me, thankfully it never feels like I talk too much, because we’re in perfect balance.
He also cares for others. He will always go out of his way to make sure someone else is doing okay. He is speaking life into everyone in his care and never gets tired of it. He loves kids. He loves playing with them and teaching them new things. When I first saw how he did that, I was amazed. i felt my heart skip a beat. He inspires me to be a better person by just being me. I’m not afraid to care anymore. I can care shamelessly now!
He tells me he loves me daily. He keeps his promises. He’s not planning on going anywhere; he loves staying by my side & seeing me smile. He cares for me just as I am. He calls me gorgeous. He calls me kind. He looks at me with eyes of admiration.
I can’t seem to figure him out. I just find myself looking at him with respect and honour. He makes me speechless and loud at the same time. I love him so much. I love getting to know him, but the crazy thing is he loves getting to know me even more that I him and we both know my level of curiosity, yet he’s beaten it without breaking a sweat. His determination intrigues me.
Amazed?
I am too, yet he reminds me that that is not even it. True love is the effort he puts into me when it doesn’t seem convenient. It’s the pain he endures to give me true joy. It’s the challenges he goes through with and for me. It’s the late-night cuddles when he wants to sleep and the early morning conversations when he doesn’t feel like waking up.
True love is the gift.
The gift is the cross.
