Once
Once.
Once I fell in love.
I, a girl myself, fell for another, no one else.
It was not the way you may think-
I think I saw her as a motherly-figure, as foolish at it seems.
We were both children, but she was the friend of my dreams.
Once.
Once I would have jumped a bridge for her. Done anything she asked.
Those days are past.
So long I thought something to be wrong with me.
I should have hated her for all the horrible things she had done to me. Continued to do to my mind, all the time, for years after she left.
She broke my heart. Left me a mess. Six years we told each other secrets. She was the kindest to me.
And
The cruelest.
I promised never to fall in love again.
Now…
Twice.
Twice I have fallen in love.
This time with the King Above.
With Jesus
Will God.
With my family
My friend
My father
And my future husband
Who will love me
Long unto the end.
The End…?
