 | I never thought I could see you in the way I do now.
Taking it past friendship was a step my heart would not allow.
We spent eight years coming in and out of each other’s lives.
However, the times we were apart thoughts of you lingered in my mind.
I was so excited every time you randomly decided to call.
And no matter how much time had passed, it was as if we never parted at all.
There was something about you that I found such interest in.
But I still could never look at you as being more than a friend.
I always seemed to have someone in my life that was keeping hold of my heart.
So, after so long, once again we would start to drift apart.
But this time around was different, the timing could not have been better.
We were both experiencing hard times and really needed each other.
We had so much fun spending day after day doing everything together.
And, at the same time, our love tended to grow stronger for one another.
With each new day our broken hearts were starting to mend.
But that was expected to happen; after all you were my Best Friend.
Friend, something about that word was laying heavy on my mind.
Why did I not see you as being just that this time?
Then it hit me, everything started to make sense.
There was a reason behind every past relationship and painful experience.
Maybe at first they made us weak, but in the end we came out stronger.
With each heartbreak, we were one step closer to hurting no longer.
I may not have discovered all my purposes in living this life.
But I truly believe it is in God’s plan to one day make me your wife.
As more time passes, he helps me realize how blessed I am to have you.
And to let you go again is something my heart will not allow me to do.
It is time, and I am ready, to open up my heart and let you in.
Now, I see you as my Lover as well as my Best Friend.
You bring happiness to my life in so many ways.
It is so crazy to think you are the same guy I met in seventh grade.
I always told you one day you were going to make someone extremely happy.
How lucky I feel to know that “that someone” is going to be me.
If you are ever in doubt about us, Baby please read this poem I wrote for you.
And know that with God’s help, there is nothing he would not help us through.
