When darkness surrounds my soul and my heart is covered with endless fog,
I see the light of your love break through all the darkness that is so thick around me.
I follow your light as you lead me through the fog that is so thick and heavy
as it presses so hard against my heart.
But that weight is lifted from me as your light finally breaks through and completely surrounds me.
Then your light becomes too bright, too warm.
I start to panic.
After a few moments I realize you have placed the armor of your love around me.
Still I fight and struggle, trying so hard to find holes, flaws,
rusted spots in this perfect armor that you have given so freely to me.
Nothing could possibly be this good, this true.
I see your patience, but how long will it last?
I feel myself starting to grow, struggling with each growth pain that comes to my spirit.
Then I see the many ugly jagged thorns that came with my very small growth spurt.
They prick and hurt you so much.
I wonder, will you grow tired of my thorns?
Will you give up on ever seeing the beautiful flower you so desire inside of me come to full bloom?
Will you eventually toss me to the wayside of this life and forget me?
I have long realized that time waits for no one in this life, least of all me.
I also know that only time will answer all my questions, good or bad, and so shall my future with you be shaped.
Time has come and gone for us now,
you have moved on set in your path,
and I have been lefted behind to wonder,
will you remember me from time to time?
Deep in my heart I shall always love you
and remember the glorious love through the pain, I shall always remember you.
I love you.
