closer to love...

They say people come into your life for a reason. Sometimes that purpose sits heavy on your heart. I met a man that showed me the path back to myself. He created an environment for me to grow, and he allowed me to regain my confidence.

It started with his complements. He loved my music, my cooking, and my art. He showed me that there are men out there that are capable of loving as much as I do. I am worthy of that. His touch makes me feel joy in ever inch of my body. His voice sounds so sweet and his smile is brighter than sunshine. His understanding is deep, and he is patient. He is gracious and a gentleman. He can make me laugh, and bring a smile to my face with ease. I am beginning to blossom into an intense version of myself. I am grateful.

I remind myself to exhale because he is leaving. So we begin to divide, but hopefully this isn't goodbye. We both have great things ahead of us. "We were way ahead of our time. As bold as we were blind. Just another perfect mistake. Another bridge to take, on the way to letting go." We are both in repair...

I am so hopeful for my future. I have learned more about what I want and need from a man. And to be blunt...if he doesn't treat me as well as Cody then he's out. I deserve more. And I would rather be alone than be with less of a man.

I can only hope that I made such an impact in his life. I would like to stay in the corner of his heart. :)

So tonight, I am closer to love...and tomorrow I will enjoy what time we have left.

Ruah.
