I’ve been saving this for a while and thought I’d put it up to share today. This is about a relationship that has passed, but the sentiment remains the same. Some people weren’t meant to be in our lives forever, but there’s nothing wrong with cherishing the time they were there. Enjoy!
I want so much to tell you about the love that found me. Out of deference to your feelings, I restrain myself. But I’ll tell it here.
I am so in love with this man until I understand the word “dangerously.”
He supports me with his words, honors me with his tenderness, and loves me with every ounce of his being. He talks to me. He communicates daily how much he loves me and how blessed he is to have me in his life. When I mention a wish, he fulfills my desires. When I hint at a problem, he’s already trying to solve it. And when it comes to lovemaking, he deserves an award. With every step and every touch, he’s communicating with me, in me, to me. To see me, taste me, touch me, smell me, feel me– brings him joy. I am his gift, and daily he unwraps me and tapes my paper back together again when he’s done.
He is generous. He is kind. He understands my mind while I am still working on the words to speak. He judges not. He appreciates even the bad parts of me. Not that I can do no wrong, but there is no wrong that I can do to make him want to separate himself from me.
When I tell him that his hands are beautiful, he is careful to make sure that they get no scars. When I say I love the feel of the fur on his face against my skin, he maintains the perfect amount of stubble just for me. When I am weak, he carries me. When I am sad, he consoles me. When I am afraid, he shields me. When I pray, he covers me. He loves me.
He makes me sing how I’ve never felt this way about love in a Brian McKnight kind of way. He makes me India.Arie crave his Brown Skin to receive his Chocolate High as my Therapy while he Purifies Me. He gives me an Eric Benet Everlove sensation in between every heart beat.
This is how he loves me, and I do not apologize. One day I will tell how I love him and still with no apology.
wow. what beautiful sentiments on what sounds like a beautiful love.

As a man, part of me wants to ask if dude is for real. If he is, then good for you. Your writing is what I would need for my marriage counseling practice, if I ever start one.
Pro, this is from a PAST relationship, and as you can imagine, these sentiments are from before things went South, but I can’t take anything away from the man he was at the time that he was being everything I needed him to be. PAST is the keyword here.
Those were okay times indeed.
