He IS...

Hmmm...Where do I begin? He is the truth, as I a know it. He is sincere, compassionate, loyal, hardworking, and strong...Together we are a beautiful jazz riff with its deep afro-rhythmic beats over smooth, sweet poignant melodies. He is the ocean to my shore, the sun to my moon; he is hope and possibilities...He is..
So why do I continue to be terrified under his attention; conforming to the status quo of keeping my distance for safety's sake. I remind myself that I prayed for him, this man who sees my expectations NOT as a challenge but as a reward. One who listens, really listens when he asks the questions "What are you thinking?" and "How was your day?" A man who honors me, listens to me, laughs with me, loves with me; one that at the mere thought of, I smile..I wrote down my vision, I made it plain. And here...He is...
He wants what I want...to love and be loved. He realizes that the love is easy that the work of maintaining takes passionate dedication and sincere effort. We, I like how that sounds, want a lasting love that will put down deep roots and have plenty of room to grow...So why operate in fear? In order to find love one must be willing to open themselves up to the possibility of hurt..that's good stuff isn't it? (Came from my own brain as my young son would say) As I attempte to put my "feelings" into perspective. It sounds so simple. I hear myself say: Open up..Be willing to be loved again..Be vulnerable, show him ALL of who you are, He's a good man, he will not abandon you simply because you are HUMAN...HELLO...He is human..He gets you, You get him...You are not alone in this thing because he is right here with you...A faithful man is known by the blessings that surround him...He is...
So I've made a command decision!!! I have decided to stop THINKING about this, and start FEELING about it..My head knows what the heart dares not admit: He has the potential to be "THE ONE"...I will NOT allow old hurts to dictate the outcome of this thing we are creating...I have the potential of finding love and being loved, to assure and be assured and to laugh, really laugh and smile from the inside..Asking and receiving what you've asked for isn't a curse, it is a blessing...Own it...Because He is....

You are exactly right. The problem is many of us either taint a new relationship, spoiling it, with an old one; or in my case are working very hard to rage against the habit of protecting one's self to a fault, even being fully aware of the potential rewards of taking a chance...I'm allowing my imagination to soar in this new thing that's happening with me and my potential and not letting it (my imagination) conjure up red flags that do not exist. |

i agree with both of you,we carry alot of baggages from pass relationships and this eventually spoils the present relationship...if we follow the truth in our hearts we will see that most time wht we look for are just right under our noses...

Could you imagine how many problems with dating would be alleviated if everyone had this type of outlook and perspective? Opening yourself to someone shoudn't even be considered a risk if you're aware of all the possible outcomes (good or bad). Either way it's a connection or it's an opportunity to learn new lessons for the next situation.
