My Love - Ryna.S

A suitable life partner is what all women hope and pursue

And a fairy tale handsome prince is usually how it starts

A tall, loving, suave and romantic prince charming

Is what we dream of..

But time has the magic

To alter that pursuit or conquest

And time can truly reveal the true love

Of the person we are bound to marry..

My love, my husband was my closest friend

He started off as my confidant and listener

Who was always there to be a real friend to me

He’s the only one who was able to calm me in time of troubles

From friendship, feeling of love blossomed

It was never planned nor expected

It just happened

Like nature taking its course

But how do I know he’s my true love?

I know because my feelings for him

Bear witness to the authenticity

Of our love being true and real..

I know he’s the one because..

Every time he’s beside me I would feel at ease

Whenever he’s away, I would feel empty

As if a part of me is missing..

When he smiles, I couldn’t resist but smile along

When he’s troubled, my heart would be in a knot

And I want to do whatever I can to ease his worries

And see the smile back on his face..

When we fight, the hearts experience chaos..

But we never fight for long..

We don’t scream or hit each other..

We rationalize.. or most of the time we just keep quiet..

The way we live together

Shows how we suit one another..

Life may have its ups and downs

But it’s getting up bit that’s important..

My love, my husband..

He’s the right man for me..

And I’m the right lady for him..

And may God bless us to be together for as long time permits.
