It Was a God Thing

Like a pair of cardinals who mate for life, like peanut butter and jelly, like two peas in the same pod, physically and spiritually united, we were inseparable by an invisible bond that will last for an eternity. She was the answer to my prayer and God eventually revealed it to her also. When we first met, I knew she was the one, but she wasn't looking for anyone and I was just an interesting new person to her,

God doesn't always reveal his direction to us at the same time, I had prayed through and cast myself at His mercy to help me find that soulmate whom I yearned for. She had stabilized her life and really saw no need to clutter it up with a serious relationship. She approached me cautiously and reservedly. We liked each other immediately, and since I had read the message from God that this was her, I had to wait for her to catch up.  

I don't know if you have experienced a love that fused your very soul together with another, but we did. Over time we became clones of each other, we thought alike, we acted and responded alike, we even finished each other's sentences. We were not perfect but we worked hard to live in perfect harmony. I have never experienced such  feelings of complete and utter joy as I did in her company. I have never felt the comfort and peace that she brought to me. 

We had much in common, our beliefs, our family values, our expectations of life, our trust in one another and our God. If true love is built on a rock solid foundation then ours was built on the largest chunk of granite that you can imagine. Our love was simple and at the same time it was enormous. She was the best friend I ever had. Dear God, I love this woman still, though my heart has a prodigous vacuum that her life filled, I will love her forever till my dying day.

Several times each day I ask her what she asked me every day of our life together, "Have I told you today that I love you". My heart is broken beyond repair, her sweet memory will live as long as there is breath in me and, I will never love again as I loved her. I claim the great "Hope" that God promises to all Christians, eternal life in Heaven with all those belivers who have gone before us. I'll see you soon Sweetie.

Love Lives On 

Love lives on, no matter what,

If the seed is deeply sown,

And jointly nurtured through this life,

Never mind foul winds have blown,

Never mind the thousand things,

That try to rip and tear apart,

The joy that's shared by lovers true,

Two souls bound as one, in heart.

Life is short, there is no doubt,

But love will live forever,

No matter what the circumstance,

Love lives on, and fails us never.

For I have loved and lost, you see,

The one who met my every need,

Her spirit dwells within my heart,

For love lives on, no doubt, indeed.
