I never...

[sfubuntu]

I never thought I would fully

heal from the pain

of my past…

I am triumphant,

my power is back!

My memories strengthen-

no more paralysis.

I never wanted to open up

my mind

to the possibility of showing

my heart to someone else.

God has been graciously

protecting it, but now

I want to reveal it

and I have.

How’s the view?

I never believed

there could be someone who

sees me as beautiful

while simultaneously being

in touch, engaging,

understanding and present.

I have been humbled.

My gaze- panoramic.

My heart- vulnerable.

My mind- open.

My arms- outstretched.

I never knew

What this would feel like.

My heart knows many variations…

but this is ironically new.

An emotion once unknown

has never felt so sure.

Admitting my wrong

has never been so right

because my never thoughts,

my never wants,

my never belief,

my never knowing

have all metamorphosed

and brought me to the assurance

of thinking, wanting, believing and knowing that I will

ALWAYS

love you.
