We Both Knew

We both knew. We both loved. We were both criticized. But we both stayed strong. We were young and free. Living out a dream life Some hated and talked much. But we still did the walk. Never giving up on each other. When your mother called. I told her the ugly truth. I could feel her pain. On the other side of the phone. Yet she still gave us a benefit of doubt. And when you met my parents. You gave them confidence. And they believed in you. Something you always prayed for. But deep inside me I knew. That wasn't all there was to you. You wanted more. You craved only for the best. Through the perfect sight you presented. I could see, Your lust for a loving family. Your tremendous love for a child. One of your own. Your patience, oh my. I can never forget your marvelous smile. Your dimples, that amplified you beauty. Your captivating glances. Always giving me a rush. I can't thank you enough. I know someday. The Almighty God will give you. All your heartily desires. You deserve better than you can ever imagine. I am glad I have you. My darling love.

Sahlom, Hallelujah in Jesus' name, for your JOINT LOVE & patience. You see, WAITING is big in the Bible, it is one of the best SPIRITUAL disciplines. Our parents - and your Beloved - have it. Technology spoils everything ... video calls, etc. We need alone time, but U write almost of my marriage. Except our first-born in S. Africa had a "handicap" & the "gossiping" never stopped. So I left Hinduism for Jesus.
