My Love Letter To Him

I know you can read my thoughts Before I even formulate them You know what I’m going to say But, I need to get this down on paper To help ME fully comprehend Just what it is that you mean to me Others don’t understand The bond that we share They think I’m a little strange To love someone so far away They don’t see your beauty or comprehend How your presence permeates Absolutely everything in my life They don’t know… You are the ultimate Lover You love till it hurt And now, with no thought to what it cost You make me feel precious and worthy of love And though I’ve betrayed you Time and again Your arms of love await To gather me in I guess what I’m trying to say is… I love you so much, Jesus. I really do. Cause no one, NO ONE even compares to you. May 2, 2013- For Heather Ober’s Contest

Caught me off my guard by naming Jesus at the end...but what greater love is there?...Well Done!

Thanks, Caleb. Ah...it hurts. I used to be so so close that it almost felt like I was in heaven and now....I need to reconnect in a real way. That good news? He's always waiting for me! :)
