Breaking Down Walls: The Unlikely Path to Love

I remember the nights when I swore to myself that I would never again succumb to the fiery flames of love. I had convinced myself that I would never find someone who could reciprocate the love I could offer - a love so intense and genuine deserves an equally passionate response. I was blinded by tears and deafened by the sound of my broken heart and tormented soul. I had come to terms with the fact that there would never be anyone who could help me understand why things hadn't worked out the way I wanted them to in the past. I kept complaining about the love that had once felt so right but ended so badly. It's strange how someone who had once seen all the stars in your eyes could suddenly see ugliness in you. I had grown to despise the idea of love, too scared of being hurt and unwilling to settle.

And yet, when I was busy building my walls, I unexpectedly found myself standing in one corner, and I knew that it was you. It was as though heaven had opened up and a match had been made, and I finally realized that you were the one I had been searching for. I cannot find the right words to describe what I felt, and perhaps it is not meant to be written but cherished. Fixing what was broken was not easy, and neither was trusting again, especially myself. But if I hadn't taken the chance, I would have lost you. The last thing I expected was to fall in love with someone whom I had always feared.

I met you. You've been really persistent in tearing down my walls. The childish act I always rolled my eyes and flipped my hair at, I wanted all of those, I want to do it with you. I wanted holding hands, hugs from behind, midnight convos, sunset dates and even social media pictures. Sitting next to you give me satisfaction and finally, I am happy. You made me realize why it didn't workout before, how I even hated love and blame it for I have been badly hurt before but now it pays off. That the Lord has been listening to my rants and I bet He even whispered that I'm for you, and so you are mine, mine alone.

Being with you is a roller coaster ride, we may have lapses but I could only see myself being with you. I allowed you to be my person, yes it's refreshing, fun and exciting. I don't call it "fairytale", I believe ours is an answered prayer.
