I looked up from my piles of paperwork to see the face I love best. And least expected to see.
My darling husband. A surprise, his smile said, because I love you endlessly.
And as he handed me a bouquet full of my flower favorites. I realized something.
Because you're my bird of paradise, he whispered. Kissed me on the lips and watched my eyes sparkle.
I just realized this one thing: I have always loved him.
From my first imagining of the man I would marry. Every sweet thought I'd ever dreamed about the one who would someday buy me 'just because' bouquets. The elusive 'he' who would cherish me deeply and make me the happiest girl.
He fulfills every wish waiting in my heart, every hope I had for true love.
I have always loved him. It just took me 21 years to know his name.
I love you Tim O'Brien.
Always will.
smiles.

ReplyDeleteP.S. These are the exact same sentiments I have been thinking of. Sometimes when I listen to a song, watch a sweet movie, or daydream about my future prince charming I realize "Hey, I think I'm in love!" The only thing is I don't know who it is I am in love with...yet :)
