Aaron Vialpando Poet Prose

Back to Cooper

I met you about a year ago, back when you were paired with a different sister. Even after I left the RDS, you remained in contact with me. I remember sending you a friend request again after blocking you — not out of rejection, but out of fear. I was afraid you wouldn’t understand why I had to step away.
When I drifted, it was not in the way I expected. My dream told me to keep going, to keep learning, not to settle into dogma too quickly. Even now, I feel that same message: learn more, grow more, but stay close to the people who help me — people like you.
What first drew me into the organization was the friendliness and kindness shown by everyone. But what kept me studying… was your red hair. Red hair has always caught my eye, but with you, it made me want to see the person behind it — the spirit, the sincerity, the strength.
During the difficult times I faced this past year, including my injury, you supported me in a way that reached deeper than simple friendship. You were one of the few who held me up spiritually, just like two of my closest friends. One of them I see as an older sister, and I’ve acknowledged her as such. The other is something more — a connection so strong that only God knows where it may lead. God may guide that bond forward, or He may guide me somewhere entirely different. Only He determines the course.
Still, meeting you and the other sisters was a powerful experience. Out of all the sisters and Vishnu I’ve spoken to, you are the one I never wanted to disappoint. You are the one I always wanted to talk to more. You carry a charisma that is rare — the kind men should look for in a woman.
I don’t want this to sound like a flirtation. I want to speak my true intentions. Only God can guide our hearts until intention becomes truth and devotion. If God leads me down a different path — not toward the person I’m closely aligned with from another country — and instead guides me toward you, then that would be a blessing in its own right.
A woman with strong religious faith and values is exactly what I seek. Only a few have awakened that part of me — the part that feels safe enough to tell everything, to rest my head on a shoulder, to cry if needed, knowing I would be held with understanding and compassion.
You helped bring me back to center. You helped bring me back to God.
