You are the mate that my soul has waited for. Each one before you was merely a prerequisite for the master class of love and devotion that we are students of. I’ve taken a piece of each failed attempt at love and reflected on what love looks like when it good and when it’s not so good. I’ve tried to compare you to the others and see where they went wrong and how right you are but there is no comparison. The only thing that makes sense is that you and I were divinely destined to share in this life all that God has for us. To be in this world together....held gently by the creator of souls....fills my heart with joy. He makes no mistakes.
You are my friend and with each passing day, I become more and more careful to see you as more than just my lover. Oh...the love for you is one thing, but I like you as well. You are such a good person with a heart of gold. Your laugh is loud and from your belly. We sit around and talk it up like lifelong friends sitting on a porch catching up after many years apart. Never missing a beat and I get lost in your smile.
Your are my chosen partner in life and although some of the best romantic movies would require that you and I “complete” each other, I would argue that for me, you enhance an already complete life. I’m thankful that you have chosen me as well to navigate this world with. We are born with the families we have, but to choose a person for life is an amazing gift and honor. Thank you.
You are an inspiration to me. Your character and devotion to self healing and peace of mind help me find ways to do things better...differently. I’m happy to learn from you and take a piece of you with me each day and try to be a better person.
I’ve stopped asking God where you’ve been all my life. You see, my faith in God has been proven over time that God answers prayers in His time. As usual, He is right on time. As we come upon Thanksgiving, I am without a doubt so very thankful that God has blessed my life so to give me my Sunshine, my Soulmate, my Best Friend, my Partner and my Inspiration all wrapped up in one man. My Joe....
Thank you for being in this world and for choosing to share your world.....For Real.
