I was that person that stopped believing in happily ever after and love stories.
My heart had been shattered countless times and I’d cried myself so many nights, how could I ever believe that true love would ever find me?
I was so fixated at staring at all the closed doors that I couldn’t see the open chances just waiting to be found.
So, I did what everyone does- I built high walls around my heart, I guarded my emotions and started being pessimistic.
But it wasn’t until I started truly working on myself did anything change..
And that’s when it shifted in the blink of an eye.
My love for myself was the one thing I had always neglected before ..but not anymore.
Whenever I would see love, I would find it in all the wrong partners.
Dead ends, heartbreakers and fixer uppers just seemed to be attracted to me without fail.
Looking for love meant finding all the wrong answers.
When I stopped looking outside and started loving myself the way I should have all along..
That’s when you showed up.
I didn’t want to trust you, believe you-
I especially didn’t want to give you a chance.
But your patience, willingness to take things slow and ability to see me for who I truly was slowly melted the jaded ice around my heart.
Months ago, you were nothing more than a concept to me..
Now, I can’t see my life without you in it.
It wasn’t the crazy and reckless love affair of times past- it was so much different in all the right ways.
Respectful, soulful and patient love that has grown steadily every single day...
That is what you have given me, a heart that once swore true love wasn’t real-
You made me believe in love when I had all but given up hope that I’d ever find authentic love.
When I look at you now, with love in my eyes and passion in my soul, I’m thankful for all the broken roads, shattered dreams and sleepless nights that led me straight to you.
