i was flipping through some of my hundreds of old notebooks, and i came across this poem i'd written when i was 14. i'd been dreaming about my future husband (still am, hahaha) and then someone challenged me, and asked, if God wanted me to never get married, and stay single forever, would i obey?
up to this day, i'm not sure. i want to get married. i want to have babies. i want... lots of things.
so, anyway. the poem.
Maybe i won't see your face, your amazing charming smile
Maybe i won't get lost in your green eyes, or give birth to your child
Maybe i won't get to feel your hair or your soft pink lips on mine
Maybe i'll never enjoy your love; sacrificial, patient, kind
Maybe i will never hear you laugh or you whispering my name
Maybe i won't experience joy with you, joy; with tears and pain
Maybe we won't discuss things like books, movies, thoughts
Maybe i will never share with you my views on life and God
Maybe i won't have a wedding reciting from Song of Songs
Maybe i won't get to say "i do", like i've wanted for so long
Maybe i'll never go on a honeymoon to italy, spain, france
Maybe i won't laugh myself to death when i trip you as we dance
Maybe we won't do anniversaries with candles, chocolate, wine
Maybe i'll never learn with you the skilled art of compromise
Maybe the life i wanted isn't God's plan for me
Maybe He has something better, whatever that could be
So if the best includes you not, if we'll never meet or part
I'll tell you, when i see you in paradise... you were always in my heart.
