A Spark Of Hope

Ever since I was younger love was always a way to describe the things we strongly liked. The purses on display, the hottest trends, and our pretend husbands. Love was never something mildly displayed in my family until it was god awfully too late. We lacked praise and emotional support and as I got older every achievement came with a downfall. I never showed love and when it came to saying "I love you." It was the most uncomfortable thing ever. In all of my days I always dreaded saying the words and if the case ever came up it would quickly be dismissed without a cause. The word was severely under-used, even over the phone saying "I love you." was a commitment I would never be able to commit to.

When you came in to my life you gave light to a darkness born from years of emotional neglect that even I couldn't understand. You breathed a life into my words and gave meaning to everything I said and did. When everything was wrong you were the first to console me and tell me everything was going to be alright. You were there for me and defended me when the world seemed to be against me. When everything else in my life went bad, you were the good thing that blessed my eternal being. You make me feel safe even in the scariest of situations.

When they ask me of you there's no word in the English language to describe how important you are to me. In German there's a word "Lebenslanger Schicksalsschatz" and the closest translation is lifelong treasure of destiny. That is who you are to me and no matter what happens you will always be that to me.

You're the light that got me out of the tunnel, the north star that guided me home. You're there to hold me when I can't stand on my own. Even when you're nowhere near me I can still feel you close to me. You're my guardian angel, my soul mate, my forever and I will never grow tired of you. My love for you courses through my veins like water after the storm filling me and emptying me all at once. When I look at you I can feel your love all over my body. And there's absolutely nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for you.

Being with you has showed me a whole new world and every day I thank my lucky stars for God putting you in my life. You mean more to me than anything and I could never second guess the way you make me feel. I know that I'm not sure about a lot of things, but if there's one thing that I am sure of it's my love for you. I'm going to do anything I can to thank you for loving me through the good and bad.

You're my spark of hope every day and I am hopelessly in love with you.
