Sweet words

From such a beautiful soul

Jumped off the screen at me

Grabbed my heart, sent from afar…

Who could this be?

Tender, sensitive man

Lifted my spirits

Made my heart soar

As his charm gently caressed it…

An anonymous call

On my cell phone

His sultry voice a melody in my ear

I knew instinctively the owner

Couldn’t believe he called me…

Becoming fast friends

His calls I looked for more and more

My admiration growing deeper

Our conversation covering all, miracles in store.

Love for our children,

Dreams for our families’ future

Fear and reliance on God

Friendship founded on honesty and respect so pure.

Just when did he steal my heart?

It must have been when he made me laugh

When I really felt like crying…

Or maybe it was when he made me feel like a woman

When the world made me feel like a failure for even trying

Or was it when he challenged me

To step out on faith, out of that safe box,

Encouraging me to show all that I could be

That I could make mountains out of tiny rocks.

Do I have the right to feel this way?

How can I explain these feelings

When I’ve never laid eyes on you,

Never touched your lips with mine,

Nor felt the heat of your body penetrate me through.

I don’t know when our friendship transformed

From being merely buddies to oh so much more

I just know that every breath I take, each beat of my heart,

Every thought in my mind, is filled with the essence of…

YOU.
