Once upon a time,
God presented me to you.
My purpose was to
lift your spirits;
to show you that life can be
all that you have hoped for,
dreamt of, and,
most importantly, deserve.
You feel you are not ready
to accept the gifts I am
ready to give you.
But, your decision
has not changed
what I feel deep within.
That one of my desires
is to not give up hope,
and faith, in you.
Scared as you may feel,
it is as understandable,
as it is believable,
that regardless of your fears,
and the darkness of uncertainty
that surrounds you,
a light flickers dimly in the distance.
When the day comes
that you begin to put
the demons of the past behind you,
you will clearly see
that the battle to find
peace and happiness
becomes easier each day.
That once distant light
may not seem as far away
as it used to be.
You will actually understand,
that this light has been patiently
with you the entire time, it presence
only clouded by your fears.
This light is the key
to my mind, and to my heart.
I have never felt so strongly,
as I feel right now,
that you have been
brought into my life
for not only a reason,
but for a lifetime.
If one day you decide,
to accept this key
that has been presented to you,
I can assure you
that all of your doubts will diminish
when my heart gently beats
against yours, and the gaze
of our eyes meet again.
With these elements alone,
you will not only see, but feel,
that the soul you have been
so longingly searching for,
has always been there,
within your reach,
the entire time.
