My Puppy Love Turned Into My True Love

It started off as puppy love the day 
I first saw him. 
My heart...
          stopped beating. 
My soul held the intuition 
of a young lady’s dream. I always 
      craved love in my youth. 
Sought desires beyond my comprehension 
and the first time I saw his eyes, I gaped in 
determination. My young love started at just 
   sixteen and I felt I had a future I had 
always wanted to hold onto. I believed in... 
                                        ...love at first sight. 

I longed for a moment of clarity in 
someone’s arms. 
I deserved a love that only a princess 
       could encounter. 
Seeing him through my eyes was a 
sight no other could ever grasp. No one 
            could ever understand the magnitude 
and depth of my soul’s desire coming true. 
At last I had found someone…
but maybe too young to notice the possibility 
of us going our separate was as we grew older…
             but my puppy grew into my true love. 

True love is a one and a million chance. 
It is the moment of the realization you belong 
      with that special someone you 
thirsted for. We were so young when we got married. 
Just babies searching for ways to express
        to each other the significance of our love. 
I remember the exact moment our puppy 
love blossomed into true love. 
                     It was that day I’ll never forget….

Being apart for six months caused heart ache. 
I thought I needed space, room to grow into an 
                independent woman, on my own. 
For I was too young to start a family. A proposal 
from him, and I graciously gave back the ring. 
          It didn’t take long for me to realize the mistake 
I  had made. One hot June day I got down 
                  on one knee and asked him to kindly marry me. 

That is the true definition of love. 
The vow to finish what we had started in our youth. 
      The volume of intense adoration 
and promise to stick by each other through 
all the trials life offers. The understanding of 
             miracles coming true when the depth 
of love is so strong. I needed him at sixteen, 
and twenty-one years later, he is still my true love. 
      My sweet boy, turned into a man 
and I too turned into a woman. Together we 
created a love to cherish forever, with a 
         daughter to raise with the exact same 
love we started so many years ago. 
My puppy love grew into my true love….
                 ...and I thank God every 
                                         day for His blessings.
