Unleashed... aka I love her

First and foremost,

Thank you Lord. For this amazing woman.

Secondly,

Have you seen her post Convergence? Its so free, so unfettered, her honest writing makes me realize that I've been restrained.

So I love her dearly.

Here we go.

~~~

I found her pretty, I found her photographer's eye captivating. I found her gypsy like dress sense interesting.

Her icy surface was so intimidating I almost silenced that little voice inside that said, tell her a story, spin her a tale

Something in her eyes when I looked up from that first tale said tell me more. That first real conversation, when I asked my bold question, that soft voice said I would like that very much.

From then on the journey seemed like I was hammering away at the walls hoping just to find that beautiful girl that spoke to me.

I knew inside I would have to serve her, that she would always treat me with a certain coldness.

The more walls I tore down, the more she unfolded and the more I fell.

She saw and understood my brokenness.

I told her about my performances for the audience of one and how they burn.

I shared of my colors and she encourage my writing.

With each new facet she showed me, my once still heart pulsed a bit more.

Men like me do not get happily ever afters.

Men like me don't get the girl.

Women like that, don't talk to men like me.


Those words began to slowly fade as hope grew.

I had always believed in love, a hopeless romantic like me could not live without believe it existed. I just told myself that it wasn't meant for me, and each day my heart grew a little colder, and my world a little darker.

She drew me out, make me believe again even as I worked to get past her walls.

Each time I was discouraged, her gaze said, don't go, please don't leave me.


In her eyes, I am capable and strong

In her eyes, I am precious and valuable.

In her eyes, I am a mighty man of God.

And when I am with her, I'm not the man that almost is, I am that man she sees, because with all her little heart she believes in me.

I have never been so vulnerable and so strong at the same time.

I love her, with all my heart I love her.

Like I have loved no other before.

I love my lemon princess and I want the world to know.
