We were worshipers
in a temple built of unfinished sentences,
kneeling before a promise that never learned to stand.
You were always almost mine…
the preacher of maybe,
the prophet of nearly,
blessing me with half-truths and folded prayers.
Your devotion lived in vague verses,
in holy words spoken without witness,
in hymns that praised a love you never proved.
You loved me in theory.
I loved you in faith.
You preached of destiny,
but tithed nothing of yourself…
only fragments,
only silence,
only the echo of what could have been.
We spent years in that sacred limbo,
lighting candles to the altar of eventual,
fasting from honesty,
feasting on speculation.
I memorized your contradictions
like scripture,
held your hesitation like rosary beads,
waiting for a confession
that never came.
And now…
I see it clearly.
You were a religion of almost.
A holy book missing its ending.
A church with stained glass windows
and no foundation beneath.
I left your sanctuary barefoot…
carrying my heart like contraband,
shaking the dust of your indecision from my feet.
Now I worship where love is living,
not theorized.
Where vows are whole,
and eyes do not look away.
Where faith is not a gamble…
but a garden
that grows.
And if you ever wonder
why I stopped praying at your door,
It’s because I finally learned.
God is not found in the temples of “almost.”
Only ghosts are.

“I’ve always been intimidated by you…” he confessed to me on a random Friday night. I didn’t know what to say staring at his name…his words piercing through my phone screen. “Are you okay?” A sweet melody whispering towards my direction. I put the phone down. “History is knocking at my door”
he smiled…
“His story will always knock at your door”

You’re allowed to remember the past,
without wishing you were still there.

You are the love that didn’t hide…
the steady heartbeat beside mine,
the “yes” spoken
without fear or delay.
With you, love is a sunrise
open, warm,
unashamed to be seen.
You took my hands
and built a home with them,
not out of dreams alone,
but out of devotion
and everyday tenderness.
You choose me
in the ordinary moments
keys in the door,
laughter in the kitchen,
our son’s joy filling every room.
I used to think love
was something whispered
a secret pressed into silence.
But you showed me
it is something bright
a vow that wakes up
every morning
and stays.
You are the love
that arrived fully,
stood firmly,
and never needed
permission
to call me home.

You were never loud
with your love…
you carried it carefully,
afraid the world would notice
what your heart could barely hold.
Your eyes always spoke first
before your lips dared to follow,
revealing more than your beliefs
would ever allow you to say.
We learned each other
in glances and half-smiles,
in the pauses where truth
almost broke through the silence.
You were shy with your affection,
but not with your presence…
you always found your way back,
as if drawn by something
you couldn’t name.
I knew you…
the parts of you, you hid.
The boy who laughed loudly online,
but carried storms home at night.
The leader everyone admired,
but the son who feared
falling out of line.
You showed the world a polished soul,
but I saw the cracks…
the doubts you prayed away,
the dreams you tucked behind obedience,
the love you almost chose
but couldn’t hold in the light.
And though we were young,
our hearts were ancient…
they recognized each other
long before we had the courage to.
Maybe that’s why it still lingers…
not as longing,
but as memory of a love
that was too real
for the rules we lived under.
When I think of you now,
I don’t imagine forever…
I remember the quiet boy
with trembling certainty,
with too many feelings
and not enough freedom.
I remember us
as something rare…
a story that bloomed
behind closed doors,
loved in whispers,
and lived just shy
of becoming.

We don’t need an ending
to honor what we were.
Some stories are not meant
to be folded shut —
just placed carefully
back on the shelf
of who we became.
I loved you then
because that was the only way
my heart knew how to speak.
I love my life now
because my heart has learned
a different language —
one built on stability, devotion,
and the present tense.
Thank you
for being a chapter
I didn’t skip,
for teaching me
how deeply I could feel.
But the page has turned.
Not from loss —
but from growth.
You remain
not as ache,
but as proof
that I have always
been capable
of loving well.
And for that,
I release you
with peace.
I carry forward
only what makes me whole.

You never have to fear
a heart that has already chosen its home.
The past may knock like wind on a window,
but my soul is anchored
where your arms begin.
You are the sunrise
that made every former night
make sense…
the reason I no longer pray
for what I once thought love was.
If old memories try to echo,
let them fade…
because the only name
my future knows how to whisper
is yours.
I don’t look back.
I only lean forward…
into the life,
the promise,
the forever
I found in you.

I miss you
in the quiet places
the space beside me in the bed,
the empty air my hand searches for
before it remembers
you’re not here to hold.
I miss you
in the loud places…
when the world keeps moving
and my heart stays still,
waiting for your voice
to catch up to my breath again.
It’s not distance…
it’s gravity.
My whole world tilts toward you,
even when you’re just a room away.
I lean in your direction
without meaning to.
I miss every version of you
I’ve ever loved…
the laughter I can feel in my ribs,
the prayers you whisper over us,
the way home feels safer
when you walk through the door.
Your love is a place
I want to live in forever…
so when you’re gone,
even briefly,
the walls remember you,
but the warmth follows your steps.
I don’t count the minutes…
my heart does.
And every second is a reminder
that my favorite part of life
is simply
you being close enough
to touch.
So come back to me…
even if you never left.
Because missing you
is just another way
my soul says
“I love you
more than distance
can measure.”

His love is the match
that doesn’t burn you…
It just teaches your heart
what it means
to stay warm.

I have known men
who carried Bibles in their hands
but not in their hearts…
who prayed in perfect sentences
yet never learned how to love.
I have known praise
with hollow echoes,
kindness with conditions,
“God-fearing” with fear
but no God in it.
And then there is you…
your faith a steady river,
not a performance.
You do not preach compassion,
you live it.
You do not shout holiness,
you walk it.
You do not love to be seen,
you love because God is love
and you are His reflection.
With you, I learned
that faith isn’t loud…
it lifts,
it protects,
it holds.
With you, I found
what it feels like
to be prayed for
and not judged.
What it feels like
to be chosen
with intention.
Your love brought me back
to a God who never left…
because through you,
I finally saw
what real Christian love
is supposed to look like.
