People tell me they've seen miracles. People tell me they've met angels. People tell me they've encountered God. People tell me they know what love is. Of the four cliche-ish notations, I would be least likely to believe the latter. God is the centre of Love and only He alone truly knows what, when, who and how to love. Other than notoriously superfluous definitions of love mankind can offer, there is no one who can define love greater than the creator of love Himself. As the rain splashes heavily across the panes of my balcony door on a cold friday evening, I am left in my uttermost vulnerable position, to wonder and ponder the incomprehensible might of the Almighty who alone knows all things, past, present and future. The one who alone has the power to give and to take away.
The past month has been one of the longest months in my life, a month that would make a permanent historical fullstop in the tale I will tell years from now. It was a month of discovery, of allignment, and of modifications. Never have I met such grace, such tenderness, such loving kindness, yet such an intense period of delayering, cleansing, and beautification resulting in full-bodied wholesomeness. The walls of Jericho in my heart had finally been broken down, and I was able to interpret the intricate carvings that had been slowly having its way in me for such a time as this. Melodie is, and always will be, the best thing that has ever happened to me. 2nd March 2008 marked the first month we have spent together, the first of the rest of our lives, yet it would seem as though it has been years. The capacity of my heart to love her supernaturally expands each passing day, and never seems to stop. In a fleeting moment of truth I am consciously aware that this is the girl I am going to spend the rest of my life with, my soul mate, my best friend, my confidant, my everything. Spring, summer, autumn and winter will be mere pathways in life that we will ultimately face and stand together.
Our anniversary commemoration was more than special, it was dazzling. Although we were in no special attire whatsoever, the atmosphere was enough to fearfully bind us together and knit us in a bond that would last a lifetime. A pair of silver rings was the highlight of the occasion, and our hearts overflowing with love, happiness and incontainable emotions, we slipped the rings onto each other's fingers and sealed the act with a promissory prayer to the our Heavenly Father, the ultimate witness that gorgeous night. People say they've seen miracles. I've seen a miracle, and it is still happening. People tell me they've seen angels. I have an angel walking next to me for the rest of my lives. People tell me they've encountered God, all glory be to Him, as I have, too. People tell me they know what love is. I say people do not know what love truly is until they've experienced it. And I have. Melodie, thank you for being a part of me. You truly are my everything, and the one I will treasure, cherish and love for the rest of my days. I love you darling, with my life.
