Have you ever been IN love?
A true, ugly and imperfect love?
Not the love you read, hear or talk about. Fairytale love.
Not the love that makes you shout...
But the kind of love that makes you silent,
Contemplative.
The love that hmm makes you close your eyes,
Fantasize.
The smile that creeps and stretches your lips from cheek to cheek...
When you see that person...
When you smell their scent...
Feel their imperfect skin...
The kind of love that sees perfection in flaws.
The kind of love that is confident and defends against all.
The kind of love that recongnizes God's grace.
The kind of love that doesn't allow or accept attacks of hate.
The kind of TRUE love that stares back at you in your eyes...
The kind of love that sees REAL and total beauty...
Have you ever been IN love?
A true, ugly and imperfect love?
I have. I am.
I love that person completely, imperfectly, beautifully.
I'm in perfect true love with me.
** Happy Valentine's Day! **
