My One

(Something I wrote a while back for my future husband to see... Just thought I should share it now, I kinda love it. Enjoy!) This is a notice to the guys I've dated, the ones that have hurt me and the idiots that overlooked my potential only to judge me by my appearance... You see, the thing with me is that I have tons to offer, like TONS. The thing with you all is you didn't know that until I stopped giving. Many of you have come back begging for second chances, and to some they have been given but you still messed up despite what happened the first time. Well, I'm proud to say that I've found someone that knows what he has, and doesn't plan on losing it all the same. Our story has humble beginnings. We met when we had nothing, became friends that didn't have anything else but unconditional friendship to offer. He's met a number of princesses in his time, many have held his heart and he has esteemed for long periods of time. From where I was, I saw how happy he was with them and thought, "That could never be me... I'm not good enough." Such a view on myself led me to settling for young men, such as yourselves, who were (and probably still are) beneath my worth. As many of you will know, I've put up with a lot with you but I stayed because I held on to hope that one ay I'll find better or you'd be better... Wishful thinking? Definitely. Well, as the fairy tale story goes, we've both seen Life's ugly side but amidst all that he found me and found my worth in a place where we both didn't expect to find it. Sounds crazy, but in my head it makes perfect sense. I guess all the Heavens have been saying was that we needed to be ALONE. All it took was isolation and time away from messy relationships and meaningless conversations to truly find ourselves in each other... The quiet moments (when we're just staring at each other or pulling faces at one another) speak volumes and the minute the conversation starts, a whole new indescribable emotion is evoked within me and I melt away at the sound if his voice... He may not be the sexiest, he may not be the most successful nor may he be the best at everything but he's my best compared to you all. I'm in a place of happiness I never knew existed until he let me in... His heart, my new home. His mind, my frequent location of occupation and his life my happy place. In a weird way, he's brought me so much closer to God. He made me realise that God can love me in more ways than one and that God's love for me exceeds his own. He knows not to compete with God for my heart and always keeps me in check when I mess up. He's made himself responsible for my salvation and the maintenance thereof. He wants to be held accountable for my life, and in that all I can do is take a moment to thank God for being God and creating that which He sees as perfect... It would take all day telling you about him and how he isn't you, but I don't want to hurt your feelings. So thanks again for messing up, for showing me exactly what I don't want and helping me make the list of what I DO want. In your mistakes I've found something very close to perfection... I've found my One...
