The funny thing is, I am not one to believe in love at first sight. He knew how to change all of that. The day I met him, I knew that this was a forever thing; the moment he said my name I knew this was who I was meant to love. Realities collided and created something so breathtakingly beautiful, which is similar to the colors of spring that vibrantly and wonderfully compliment each other. When our worlds intertwined in that moment, it felt like all time stood still. Thank you for piercing through my reality so abruptly – interrupting all my plans the moment we locked eyes.
The funny thing is, I am not one to open up easily. He knew how to change all that. Every moment with him, I cherish. When we sit over a cup of coffee he just sits across from me and lets me cry, laugh, yell. He just listens. Then, all the weight of the world immediately falls at the front door. The physical sensation of ease overwhelms me head to toe. Cloud 9 never felt so real. Over an iced caramel latte we talk about forever together, dreams, fears, and everything in between. I would give up all of that for him. When I am with him I am my best self. It is like the deep in him cries out to the deep in me. Realistically, in all that poetic mess before, all I am trying to say is that he brings out the best in me.
The funny thing is, I am not one to write love songs. He knew how to change all that. It seems like my every thought is consumed with him. He is always on my mind. I have never been so in love before. Ever since we fell in love I am up late writing about everything we’ve been through and all the reasons I love him. I find myself dancing around my room to every song, completely smitten. What has happened to me?
The funny thing is, I am not one to love without fear. He knew how to change all that. I find myself telling everyone around me about him. I do not leave out a single detail, no matter how minuscule. I cannot contain myself. Simply his name sends my heart racing and unleashes this giddy bliss within me. This time, it doesn’t freak me out – I know it’s real. I know he is gonna stay around. I don’t fear the commitment nor do I doubt his.
The ocean waves crashing on a shore, the smell of salty air mixed with fish – that makes me feel at home. A face mask, my favorite playlist, and a comfy bed – that makes me feel at home. Netflix, popcorn, an oversized hoodie, and a blanket – that makes me feel at home. Yet none of things can quite compare to how I feel when I am with him. None of it stands.
I am not one to be cheesy. He knew how to change all of that.
I once read that you created us to love and to be loved – that living without love is like being a bird and living as though you couldn’t fly. Without love, our wings are clipped. So thank you for loving us and letting us love you; thank you for letting us fly! Abba, thank you for the privilege to love you without fear, open up to you, know you, worship you, and be with you! You are the one I love, God!
