On your side forever Ever

Have you ever prayed for something for so long that when he’s answering it

You are so happy so excited that you keep asking him just to be sure.

GOD is this her

God… is this her?

Is she the one You sent?

The one I’ve prayed for in my quiet moments

the one I prayed you would help find me.

She has it all

everything I ever asked for.

Beautiful like an angel,

with the biggest heart I’ve ever seen.

God, her soul… I can see it.

A soul that just wants to be found,

to be seen

to be loved.

God… is this her?

Her eye blink when she gets nervous,

I told her, “Quit winking at me,”

and she laughs.

She makes my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.

She laughs at all my stupidity

like it’s her favorite thing.

She made me cookies.

She buys me Jolly Ranchers.

She knows about cars.

She puts me first.

She talks to me for hours.

God… is this her?

She hugged me,

and my knees got weak.

She spent time with me today,

and I just wanted time to stop.

I try to be around her

every chance I get.

She calls me all day.

We laugh all day.

Her voice calms me

Her presence feels like home.

God… IS THIS HER?

She told me she’s an onion

that I will have to peel back every layer.

And I will.

Every layer.

Every story.

Every scar.

Because she doesn’t know

how perfect she already is.

God… please let this be her.

I overheard her talking today,

talking about me…

about how hard I work.

And somewhere between every layer I peeled back

I fell in love with her.

I know she feels it too.

I tell her,

“I love everything about you,”

and she smiles and says,

“I know you do.”

God… today she said,

“ILEAY”

And You don’t have to answer anymore.

Because I know.

I feel it.

I see it.

God…

This is her.

On your side and by your side forever
