Dear God
I feel so humble
You've returned love to me

I cry

writing these words is emotional
I am a man full of emotion
that has had no way out

My path has injured my heart
and my soul
I cannot count the times
but you have carried me through
I blink and tears warm and wet
run down my clean cheeks
I feel so scared
as love is fragile
and takes two
but I am just one

A tear runs down my cheek
and reaches the corner of my mouth
I touch it with my tongue
and taste its warm salt
and my heart is jumping
I feel everthing

I breath deep and close my eyes
and now my breathing calms
My broken rib shoots a warm pain
and all I feel is the stillness of the room

I wish I could fast forward my life
to the moment she and I are united
The clutter of the present is too much
my heart and head are in the future

But in the present
I feel the fragileness of love
I pray, please guard me and be kind
You know this is what I prayed for

She is so kind and gracious
so real
she has a beautiful heart
that radiates to her surface

I know God that I do not deserve her
How can I face her
Help her to know my true heart
the heart that you saw fit to lift up

Tears run down my cheeks again
flowing like rivers
as I wait for her answer
which must come from her heart

This was what I wanted
Please give me the strength I need
to face all that I cannot face
Lead me gently to my long awaited fate
and to the love I've only dreamed of

Just a beginning I tell myself but I lie
She is more than that it feels to me
