Girly Waffling
I have wondered at what completeness truly is....
What would “walking on hot coals” actually feel like?
Would completeness really involve that?
And if it did, could I actually do it?
I have wondered at wholeness....
Would I recognise it?
Doubted it could be mine.
Surely I would know?
I have wondered at happiness....
Pondered over its everlasting-ness.
Experienced so much, lost so much.
Had to pinch myself to check it’s real.
I have wondered at undying love....
Whether it was something I could experience?
Believing that it can never die.
A dream to reality, shocked by its intensity.
I have wondered at trust....
Dare I dip a toe in, after bitter experiences?
Leave myself open and venerable?
Then without realising it I find I already do.
I have wondered at finding “the one”...
Whether I would recognise him.
Become the one for someone too.
And you are here, my world is shining.
I have wondered at feeling loved....
Totally without restrictions or reservations.
Envied the mere thought and imagined it.
Now I thank you for being you, and loving me.
