A Heart Broken Into A Million Pieces

Yet, he patiently waited for her to choose him.

He was the comfort I never knew I needed,

He was my rainbow after the storm.

In him, my peace has a home.

He has awakened a part of me that was dormant,

You see, love was no longer my portion.

I gave up on love when my heart was broken into a million pieces when my husband took his last breath.

Love was no longer on my radar until he came into my life,

He waltzed into my life like a breath of fresh air.

A breath I was afraid to take,

He was patient, knowing I wasn’t ready to love again.

I only had friendship to offer, and I prayed that would be enough,

He stayed by my side, giving me his trust.

He never asked for anything in return, as he poured kind and healing words into my soul.

He was there when I needed a shoulder to cry on without judgment or feeling appalled.

He was like an angel, so I believed he was sent from Heaven to show me that love was possible if only I would trust in love again.

His presence brought me a sense of calm as the waves of grief tried to carry me farther away in the storm,

I couldn’t imagine why he would stay when I kept him at arm’s length.

I will forever carry his kindness in my heart,

He showed me he would be there for me in all my life storms.

How could I not give him my heart?

When he saw the worst in me, he stayed through it all despite all the false calls.

He gave me time to heal and to decide what to do next.

He gave no deadline as he waited for me to choose him.
