Front Porch Of Forever

Only in dreams where I feel safe and warm and free do I long for the one who will complete me. I know he’s there, I feel him. All the way down to my open heart and waiting soul, I feel him. He is the one who is. He is the one who could love me, knowing my weaknesses, not pointing them out to chide me because of them. He is the one who could love me in spite of them. He would be my strength as I would also be his. He would make me whole. He is the one who is, the one who would join his heart with mine, not make me hide in his shadow or tell me who I should be. He would never want me to lose the person I already am. He would steady me when I stumble on life‘s road. and give me his hand not his disdain for not seeing the bumps in the road. If you are the one, you have the ability to forgive, but more important, you own the ability to forget. You'll freely offer trust because we’ve both known vulnerability and we each are worthy of trust. If I ever awaken to find you there, take my hand. Walk with me into tomorrow, our youthful yesterdays the stepping stones to carry us through months into years to sit side by side, hand in hand, in our chairs on the front porch of forever. I know you’re there. I feel you, … but only in my dreams.
