If you only knew that I sometimes close my eyes, (like now while I'm writing this,) and imagine embracing you, looking into your beautiful eyes, gently sliding the back of my index finger down your cheek, as if an invisible tear were being wiped away, only to feel the softness of your skin.
If you only knew that I desire, with the help of God to heal your pain, to not carry, but to completely toss your baggage away.
If you only knew that I see so much more in you than you may even see in yourself. It's not potential I see, for we all have potential... But I see your heart, I see the love, the pain, and the fear of the unknown because of the past disappointments. I see your love.
If you only knew that like our Savior, I would never leave you, nor forsake you, but only Love you as he Loves the church.
If you only knew the petition I've prayed, that a woman every bit as lovely, every bit as precious, every bit as strong, and every bit as willing to put her foot down, speak her mind & indirectly cause me to check myself, that a woman such as you, would one day become my helpmeet.
If you only knew that I'm careful to tell you that I love you, yet also careful not to tell you just how much, but keeping it under the realm of a Christian, brother & sister-in-Christ Love... Agape Love
If you only knew just how often I wonder if you'll one day be mine to have & to hold, that you be my Ruth, and I your Boaz, to refer to you my as wife, to salute you as my bride.
If you only knew that I as much as I write, and as open as I am, I'm not at liberty to say more, bridling my tongue, awaiting His Word to enlighten or inform you, being still, patiently waiting on the Father, that His will be done. You may not ever be my wife, though my desire may be strong. However, I'm blessed just as well to call you my friend, my sister-in-Christ.
