A True Love (Cardioversion)

We’ve known each other for a while and I know that you think you know me, but see there’s something important I have to tell you.

You have to promise to not look at me differently because of it

I’ve been holding this in for years, but’s it’s time to set myself free.

I know you love me and said that your love would never change

So here it goes, please promise me you won’t look at me as strange.

The truth is....I’m a murderer..

I’m a murderer on the run and I love you so much that I’m sharing my thoughts.

I killed something and I watched as it bled out until it beat no more...

I killed my heart

I thought I was still alive after, but I was a corpse, cold.

But in the Winter, you came to me

And like the true gentleman that you are, you said “Open those eyes, beautiful! Let me take care of your heart.”

Then you shocked me

Awakening a part of me that I thought I buried 6ft under years ago

But that shock sent such a strong electrical impulse flowing through body, my mind, my soul

And there it was...my heart..beating again

I noticed something different about my heart this time

As soon as I woke, I knew that this heart wasn’t mine

You gave me your heart, that required sacrifice

Your love revived me, I felt complete.

Apprehensive I was, as those before you revived me for seconds, renting me their heart, only to walk away and leave me there to die again.

But somehow this time I knew it was different

I knew that I was truly revived, I knew that I was truly alive.

My blurry vision instantly became clear, clarity.

My pain, erased.

I know that you and you alone are the one for me.

The one that I was meant to wake up to, reaching out for

The one that holds me tight and watches and prays over me at night

Irreplaceable, you are

I’ll never find another like you

You know my imperfections, my thoughts, my fears, my insecurities and call all of them beautiful!

I’ve always longed for someone that knew me inside and out and could read me like a book

And as many times as I have tried and tried to pull away,

And as many times as I have tried to push you away, you still stay.

So I’ve decided today that I’ll never let you go.

For I know for sure that you are the only one whose love is true.

Falling in love with you was the best choice that I’ve ever made.

In your arms I’m always protected, safe

I know for sure that your unconditional love will never fade.

Now some may read this and think that it is about a guy and it is, but not just any guy. This is about my love for Jesus that brought me back to life, made my vision clear, and has directed me into new beginnings. After being bound to a lot of pain and not wanting to feel anything, I don’t have to run anymore. I found a home in him. Falling in love with him was the best thing I’ve ever done!!
