Dear Hani
Dear Hani,
I remember a positive thought coming to my mind. A good night's sleep can happen,
even after you have had a bad day.
Three years ago this very day I woke up, packed my belongings and left forever
and for good.
She stood there at the bus stop and asked me how my day was going.
I wasn't sure if I could....But knew I should.
Reply to her that is.... Not many people may ever care, but I was certain and
sure She does.
I knew where I was but deep down underneath I felt completely lost.
While She was there, I felt a little less lost.
I had been a block away from my home, my old home, that is.
She ask me how I currently felt after all of this.
I replied, "Couldn't be better," but I was never good at lying.
After being faced with a bad hand in poker, my bluff was called.
When I wake up every now and then, I think of the moment she uplifted me
with Her inspiring words.
She didn't even know my name or who I am. Without knowing what she was doing,
she went ahead and did it anyway.
Even after being happily married for four years now, I still wake up in the middle of the night. When I do, I visualize the worn shoe's I was wearing with dirty white laces. They appeared to be untied like a loose stage in my life needing to be secured.
Now, every time I have this same dream, I see my wife’s pretty, dreamy eyes right
beside me looking like an angel. One and the same they are.
She said "You have the same look I had not but a few weeks ago, but your tone of voice is a lot more obvious."
"They are still out there,” she said while looking up into the clouds.
Maybe she might mean women I had loved in the past.
"Are you the one who I truly love also out there?" I asked.
"No." She said. "I am right here next and near to you and will be always."
Hani, I am just trying to give you some thoughts, ideas and ways to present words.
Capitalize the “S” in she for further emphasis of She is the one for me.
