I’m distracted by the thoughts of you.
Although, I’m sometimes overwhelmed with all the work I have to do.
I know you are worth every speck of blood, sweat, and tear.
I faced and erased everything that a man with pride would fear.
I pause to think of the times of us two.
How immaculately God matched your eyes to your smile to your heart, I have no clue.
All I know is that it took me years to learn how to be the man you needed me to be.
I wasn’t always patient but the wait was for what I am now able to see.
Me for you and you for me.
The thought of you sends a chill throughout my entire being.
This is what people have been describing, this is what they have been meaning.
I’m excited by the thought of you, plus me, equals us.
I’m excited that we made a decision to move past our past and purposely trust.
The prayer began with preparation for me to become what I needed to be, in order to be what you want.
What you want is a man with broad shoulders and a strong frame to carry your burdens when they are too much to bare alone.
A man that puts you on his shoulders to help you see over your insecurities.
A man who will stop what he is doing to just listen.
A man who will wipe your tears with kisses and remind you of reasons to smile.
A man who will grab your hand when it’s time to pray.
A man that sees your beauty without looking at you and makes you feel beautiful when you feel are at your ugliest moments.
I realized in order to get you to “Fall” in love with me, I would have to stand firm on the things that are needed to get you there.
I have to work love and love to work.
Once we get there, I will not stop doing the things I did.
They will manifest differently so that you won’t get used to my love.

Work is always fun when you are on the right team. Growth is constant and easier to handle when it’s at a slow and steady pace.
