The Forever Kind of Love
Rachel Morris
Shadows gently trickle down her body as she lays so still in the silence of the night. I can’t help but stare at her beautiful face as she slowly slips into her utopian world of dreams. Once again, I thank God for giving me the part of my heart I’d been missing. Her mere presence sometimes takes my breath away. As I look at her, I realize karma must not exist because I surely do not deserve the heart of this angel lying next to me. From the moment she entered my life, I knew everything was going to change. As soon as her beautiful eyes met mine for the first time, my world began to spin upside down. The love I’ve discovered in her that burns so passionately for me is so much stronger than I ever thought it could become. What’s more, the love I have for her runs throughout every part of my heart and plunges far into the depths of my soul. The night sky itself is not immense enough to hold all of the love I have for her; for it is infinite. I am truly happy only when she is near. When I am not with her, I am not complete. She grasps onto my heart and holds it in her hands until I can hold her in my arms once again. She has taught me what real love feels like. She’s taught me that my heart is capable of a love so intense that it could warm the iciest of hearts and bring the most heartless man to his knees in surrender to the truth of the existence of such a perfect love. The scariest part of such passion is the realization that my heaven would crumble if I ever lost her. My mind travels back to the present moment where my love is slowly stirring. She finally opens her eyes and focuses her attention on the tears that have unknowingly formed in my eyes. When she asks what’s wrong, I can only smile and answer, for the first time in a long time, “absolutely nothing.” I believe that nothing could be more right than our hearts becoming entwined together forever. Fate keeps his arms wrapped around us through the good and the bad. Finally I take my angel into my arms, and I can suddenly feel my heart expanding just to be able to fall in love with her a little more. I hold her close as long as I can, realizing that soon we will part ways for the day. Although we have forever together, it isn’t nearly enough. I want to spend every second with her because I realize how special she is and I cannot withstand taking her for granted. As our embrace ends, she pulls my heart away with her. I watch her walk away and I feel my heartstrings slowly coming undone. It is times like this when I realize how lucky I am to have such an incredible woman to share my life with. The day goes on filled only with the longing to be with her until finally she walks back through the door and once again, I feel complete. More than anything, I believe we were made for each other and as the days go on, she continues to restore my faith in the ability of love to crash into your soul and explode into every element of your existence. That’s the forever kind of love.
