Had I not noticed the gleaming spot of skin atop his head
I might have gone right on believing that he was, in fact, the love of my life.
Unfortunately though- as happens all too often,
I had mistaken him for another-
Lately I have been feeling as if there are no men my age.
I look at a man who from one angle seems agreeable, but then watch to my embarrassment
as he turns into something else entirely.
Are these transformations truly taking place?
Or am I merely doomed to forever find myself dissatisfied with anyone else?
Is there anyone else out there- or was there,
and will there forever be- only Him.
What do you do when it seems that the only man in existence is gone, quite probably for good.
Do you settle?
Or do you keep on scanning the crowds with dim hope that you have been wonderfully mistaken.
As it stands at this point, I must allow this feeble spirit to make its attempts
Lest I lose all hope of love.

I have seen what real love is- Or at least just a sliver of it's complexity..
But I know because Christ has shown us the way
Has shown us perfect love in its full glory.
I have seen through his acts that love does not see fault,
love sees past sin and failure,
love is not dependent on anything,

Love is unconditional, and it does not change its mind.

I know this because Christ saw our sin, he saw the evil within us,
and yet he did not turn away from us.
He still loved us enough to die for us. He knew who he was saving,
he was not disillusioned into thinking that we were some perfect people,
and he did not/does not expect that of us.
This then is perfect love,
and he calls us to love one another in the same way.
He has helped us to be able to do so by showing us the way first.
So because I see all that, this is how I love you.
I know that you might be skeptical.
That you might doubt that I know what I’m saying,
but I have felt God’s love and mercy for me.
So I can show it to you without a second thought.
Please believe me when I say that NOTHING can keep me from loving you.
Even if you don’t love me back.
This is how God has loved us
And so I love you the same way.

Sometimes I just wanna write to you and tell you that you ****
I think you’re over-dramatic and moody and I couldn’t take it when we were together
I always felt like I was doing something wrong
I always felt like there was something keeping us from being truly happy
There was some spirit of oppression over you and therefore over me
That made me feel like I was going mad
It left with me a sense of deep inexpressible pain that I still feel when I think of us
And yet we connected on some deep level that I’ve never felt before
And yet I wanted so desperately to make things work with you
Perhaps it was merely the magnetically strong physical attraction
The *** with you was the best I’ve ever had;
But then again I don't have much to go off of
Unlike you who latches onto anything that comes within ten feet

Not saying you’re a player or a ****
But you didn’t and maybe still don’t truly respect woman

You’re a relationship *****
You’re addicted to being in love
You have this ridiculous expectation of what love is and how it comes about
If you hold onto that you will never be happy
If you keep doing things the way you have been;
You don’t deserve to be happy
You have left a trail of broken hearts and have cried victim
Justifying yourself by the wrong that has befallen you in the past
You're addicted to your heart ache
You haven’t let it go or moved on
And you wont allow it to heal
You’re delusional
And you spread it to those who are unfortunate enough to fall for you
I need to realize that I’m better off without you
Because your love, your life, your companionship is poison

— The End —
