Once Upon A Time

I want to come home to you everyday

I want a special part of everyday reserved just for me

If a day goes by and we don’t get to speak

I at least would like the opportunity

To lie down beside you while you sleep

To kiss you goodnight

Even without words your presence makes everything alright

Without a single doubt about becoming your wife

Another void would be created with you absent from my life

The first void never to be filled but grows bigger with each family member’s death

But with you I can handle whatever challenge is thrown at me next

Well maybe… all other challenges except losing you

Not only will I fight my way through

But I will never forget

I will always be grateful

It will be easy to be faithful

Not because our love is unbreakable

But because of who you are as a man

So I promise to be honest to our love

Any mistakes in our love I’m up to correcting

Any errors in our testimony I’m up to grammar and spell checking

Because through everything, good or bad

You’re one of the best gifts from God that I have ever had

The easiest thing I have ever done was to love you

Yet even with your perfections I’m still scared

To let you know how far I’ve fallen

Way past the point of no return

Leading me secretly to become meek

God said that the meek shall inherit the Earth

But all I’m interested in possessing is you

Even as a possession to you

Or more desirably to be by your side

‘Cause if I’m blessed enough to become your bride

With a shaking heart I’ll put my fears aside

Still my heart with the look of admiration in your eyes

Calm the nervousness that lies deep inside

I want to fall asleep next to you every night

‘Cause if God forbid I never awake, I want you to be the last thing in sight

I want you to be the last thought in mind

Yet you always have been since way before I realized

That I loved you

Once upon a time.

This is terribly sweet, and I hope that whoever this was addressed to, had the amazing opportunity to read it. Thank you for sharing.

[P.S.]

It was actually to my future husband, someone I had not met at the time but inspired by the relationship I was in so yea, its a weird space that now I can not ever REALLY dedicate it to anyone because of its ties to that guy I as with at the time but knew I wouldn't end up with. Thanks for reading.

Regardless, this is such a beautiful piece.
