So far away, yet in my heart here to stay.
I write these words on this day, to tell of a love that will not sway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He touched me with that heart;
That heart so beautiful and caring,
that heart that succeeded to inspire.
The most loving heart I've ever known.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A grown woman I have yet to become,
and yet my mind no longer feels young.
My love for you grows stronger as days pass,
and here I express my love for you at last
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This much I know is true
I’ll love him till the stars fall from heaven
Till God no longer brings the morning dew
Till the sun no longer gives off its warm light
Till the ocean waves no longer cascade on sandy shores
Till the moon no longer sings its lullaby at night
I will love him forever
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These are excerpts from the many poems I have written and dedicated to different men in the past whom I thought I was truly was in love with. I always tricked myself into thinking that those people were the one, totally ignoring nagging doubts about their integrity. I lied to myself saying things like, no ones perfect... everyone has some major problems... there is no such thing as a "soul mate", even though my conscience would constantly bombard me with conflicting thoughts. In other words these poems are about what I dreamed true love would be like, if it did exist.
For once in my life, I don't have those doubts. I really have found my soul mate and he has no doubt in his mind that I am his. We are both taking this relationship at the same speed even though it is an extremly fast one. We are able to do this simply because we are so much alike in so many aspects. We share common interests and hobbies. We both enjoy the same forms of recreation. Even our way of thinking is basically the same so we understand each other so well. Most of all we're going through our relationship walking hand in hand with Jehovah. Studying with him everyday has not only made it easier for me to pay attention to his word, made me a better person, but its also made me grow to love Jehovah so much more than I could possibly imagine.
He is what I have always prayed for. People used to call my way of thinking borderline apostate. Simply because I asked many questions that people viewed as questioning the truth. Because of this I used to think I was not worthy of dating a witness of Jehovah. So I started dating worldly people, totally ignoring my Bible trained conscience. I needed someone so badly that I didn't want to wait. I thought Jehovah had left me all alone. Still I prayed for a fork in the road. I prayed constantly to find the one person who could understand me, and wouldn't be offended by my mind. I wanted a way out of the life I was leading so badly because I knew it was wrong. Then I met Jason. It was almost like instant gratification. We talked constantly, getting to know each other and quickly realizing that we were in fact the answer to each other's prayers. About 2 weeks after we started talking he came to see me. Something happened so freaky at the sunday meeting that convinced me that this was in fact Jehovah's hand. The Watchtower we were studying had a picture on the front cover of a man who had just come to a fork in the road. Instantly, I knew this was it. This is the man no doubt that I have been looking for as long as I can remember. Over all, I am absolutely sure I want to spend the rest of my life with him and I know for once he can live up to the love he tells me he has for me.
This is in fact true love
The very kind that is sent from above.
The is no doubt in my beating heart
That me and him will ever part.
He stole my heart and bound it with his own.
I no longer need fear living alone.
So with all of that said I have no choice but to dedicate all of the words I have written to about true love to my true love. Jason, I love you
