I wish I could tell you that she (or he),
Is not worth another second of your time,
A good spouse, a good partner, a good friend,
Doesn’t do that to someone they love,A person of strong character, sound mind, and a healthy spirit,
Doesn’t do that to anyone,
Anyone can promise to love you,
But only the worthy, know how,
To truly care for another person,
They know, that a person’s heart,
Is a special treasure.
That they have received,
And they value it,
They know that commitment should not be taken lightly,
And another’s feelings should never be disregarded,
They know that while words matter, actions matter more,
They know that no one is perfect,
Yet, still they strive to be perfect,
For you,
Because they love you,
Because they love, that you love them,
As your heart begins to heal,
You will make your way back out into the world,
You will meet some,
You will meet few,
You will meet many,
Each story is different,
But no matter who or how many you meet,
Just know, that you will want to rush it,
You will miss the comfort of another’s arms,
You will want to hold someone again,
And to be held,
But when you feel yourself falling, you will stop yourself,
Because you will remember the pain,
The loss,
The emptiness,
You will meet one that you like, one that likes you, and one that you could love,
You will meet one that needs your love, one that does not know how to love,
and one that loves too freely,
But you will take your time,
You will listen to their hearts and to yours,
You will hear what they say and pay close attention to what they do,
You will ask about their life before you, because it affects their life with you,
You will find out what and who they value,
And you will hear about the love that they lost,
You will listen closely, because history sometimes repeats itself,
But you, having experienced this pain,
Will not let your history happen again,
You will be careful and wait for someone who is worthy,
You will know who uses your love,
Only for what they can gain from it,
You will know that she who does not even love herself,
Cannot love you back,
You will not settle for an okay love,
Because this time you seek the one,
The one that will learn all about your heart,
And how to take care of it,
This person will sometimes make mistakes,
As do you,
But their mistakes will not be deep,
They will not cause hurts that damage your spirit,
They will not carve away at the trust,
They will be shallow, everyday mistakes,
That do not hurt much,
Still that person will be apologetic,
Because that person,
That worthy person,
Will love you so much that they cannot bear to see you hurt
Even a little,
But, even without having found, that person,
You will still find yourself happy,
You will love yourself,
Delight in the alone time,
You will enjoy the quiet in the house,
Your thoughts will amuse you,
Your ideas will inspire you,
Your memories will no longer haunt you,
You will benefit from conversations with friends,
Books, movies and music will be pleasant, because you choose them,
Bible verses will take on a new meaning and will speak to your soul,
You will eat when you want, sleep when you want,
And laugh at the things that you find humorous,
You will learn more about yourself,
Things that you had forgotten,
Things from your past that you used to like so much,
You will fall back in love with you,
All that you are,
And all that you have to offer,
You will be happy again,
At times, you will remember your past,
And as you think of the love of your past,
You will remember the hurt,
And how it felt like nothing else in the world mattered,
And how no one would ever compare to that person,
But this time you will smile,
Because you will know that it was not true,
It was not true then,
And it is not true now,
Life can get blurry,
Love can be obscure,
Our destiny, unknown,
But our future is in our hands,
And our life is what we make of it,
But when we are so wrapped up in what we want,
We cannot see what we need,
And when we focus on what we do not have,
We forget to be grateful for the things that we do,
So remember as much as you want love,
Do not rush it,
Do not hurry it,
And definitely do not wait on it,
Live your life,
Love your life,
And embrace the now,
Value the blessings,
Be appreciative for change,
Be thankful for your broken heart,
Because to feel is to live,
To live is to learn,
To learn is to grow,
And soon, you will grow into the person that God desires you to be,
Each day that you wake,
Each tear that you cry,
Leads you one step closer to your happiness,
So keep stepping…
