A Love So Real
I wasn’t meant to write this, nor have I ever told myself something so real before.
Before her, I met many, some I really liked, others I only tried to see where it would go. But she’s the first who has ever said to me,
“Baby, I’m yours.”
You don’t know what that means to a man full of love. Some go searching for what I’ve found; others live pretending. But I have something real. And I pray they, too, get the chance to feel this kind of love for what it truly is.
To know what it’s like when someone looks at you in a way you can’t explain.
I wish they’d see through the fakes and embrace the quiet beauty of true love.
I hope they learn love isn’t always loud or glamorous; it’s in the small, unspoken gestures that make life gentler and better.
May they remember that being there means more than anything money can buy.

Let him hold her the way she dreams he would.
Let her remind him that love has already found him, that he doesn’t have to hide who he is around her peers who seem higher in status or life. She stands by him because she sees beyond the now; she sees the future alive in him.
May he speak beauty into her life, not just what others say, but what only his heart can tell her.
Let him treat her like the queen of his heart because that’s who she is.
May love dwell richly between them, giving them a story they never saw coming.
Let life grow kinder to them, their love deeper, and their hope stronger, even through the hard days.
And when it’s all said and done, may he know she’s his and make sure she knows he’s hers.
Thank you for reading ❤️
