Not Just Another Love Letter

Not Just Another Love Letter

By: Melissa Wren

Why don’t you realize darling

You’re all that I need,

Come to me broken

I’ll understand

How hard it is not being able to

Do it in your own strength

That’s why I love you,

You try at your own demise

But I gladly kiss the tears

from your drowning eyes

We are one – God gave us two roles

Why must you try to do mine?

You’re my love, my laughter

My greatest masterpiece

A chandelier showcasing a ballroom

Or a sequence on an accessory piece

To me you shine the brightest

When you’re not pretending

to be someone else

you never see the true beauty in the

cracks that shine through the natural light

I delight in your company,

So simply uniquely complicated

But always quick on your feet

You try and find an enduring way

To be sophisticated.

When I go to grab your hand,

Away from me I wish you wouldn’t pull

Knowing someday, we’ll be together forever

I can hardly wait for that day

Because I’m nobody’s fool.

If ever there were a reason for me to exist

I’m sure you are it

You need my assistance,

And though I get your resistance

I’m confident in the consistent way I persist

One day soon I’ll sweep you 

Deep into my arms

You’ll finally look into my eyes

We will melt into one

Don’t ever be afraid my beautiful bride

It’s me

But when I take the seat beside our Father,

Know that I’m still yours,

And I’ll pick you up when you fall to your feet.

*Isn’t it a comfort to know that this is how Jesus looks at each one of us? This hasn’t been the easiest of seasons of life for a while now, and I hope it has been for you. God gave me words that overflowed out of my heart today, and for that I’m so thankful. I love my friends and family and hope you’re doing well. Love you, Melissa
