The Other Side

Love saw me a mile away but I turned away as I didn't want to face it.
I couldn't believe that this thing could intimidate a person so.
I felt trapped in a maze with no way out.
The power and feeling that I felt was unimaginable.
All I thought was entrapment.
What was this thing and why me?
I prayed about it, thought about it, and talked about it.
Yet it was one of my biggest fears and I had to face it.
With my back up against the wall and no place to run I stubbornly opened my 
eyes.
You wouldn't believe the beautiful things I saw.
How that once empty space was filled with the one thing I feared the most.
LOVE!!
And that love was you!
My GOD!!!
