Three Little Words.

 It was as soon as it ended that it began....

There was something that caught me 

Your eyes were soft, your spirit strong. 

You called me wildly beautiful 

I felt myself falling for you and it was terrifying.

I kept telling myself that it was too soon. 

I needed to keep dating, to keep searching.  there are more out there, there are more people.... the dating apps reminded me daily.

You told me your biggest life transition even before we met in person. I thought it would scare me, but it intrigued me. 

But something changed when I met you that night at the cafe.

You were so kind. You felt real.

I knew it was a good thing when I could cry laugh with you and not even worry who was around us. 

Then we met at the park and I absorbed your history as if it was my own. 

My heart grew the more you talked. 

I felt a way that I never knew would exist again. 

Three little words. 

The more time we spent the louder they got.

Three little words.

You listened to me and remembered things that I didn't even know I told you. 

Three little words.

You gave me love in ways that I was missing for years. It was as if God had actually cared about me enough to bring you into my life. 

When we talked for hours and didn't have to say a word, I knew I couldn't let you go.

I felt I could breathe. I felt happy. I felt joy. 

Three little words...

I love you,.
