I never saw you coming! A simple "Hello" that lead to countless adventures, laugher, and love.

We both had cuts and scars from shattered pieces of our past but all Hero's do; with God, time, and each other came healing. We embraced our yesterdays while letting God control our tomorrow.

I'm not sure anyone is ever "completely" ready but over time you have unknowingly started a spark in me that turned into a fire. You have made me feel alive again. You have made me feel more excited then afraid. The day has come that I'm ready to take a risk at love. It has become clear that you are not.

I know there will be moments and maybe even days that it will hurt to have walked away from the fantasy of how things could have been, but it will never compare to the heartache of staying stuck in a dream. Today my eyes have been washed by the tears and I have a clearer view again. Moving forward doesn't make me bitter or cynical about love. Instead it makes me grateful and hopeful realizing that if I gave so much in the wrong relationship how beautiful it will be when the right one comes around.

One day when you look back I hope you see me; the girl who wasn't perfect but tried to be for you. The girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you looking past the flaws you focused on and embracing the strengths you couldn't see. The girl that fought to stay even when you didn't fight to keep her.

I am forever thankful for your part in my journey! F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best "There are all types of love in this world but never the same love twice".
