Watching you like Monalisa
Now I understand why it never worked with anyone else, because it was supposed to be you all along. God really saw me at my lowest point in life and said here’s the girl you’ve been praying for, don’t mess it up. I was going to read Proverbs 31, but I realized I could just study you instead. I don’t love you because it is easy, I love you because even in difficulty my heart never questions, it only reaches for you. Every time I look at your pictures, I just wish I could pull you out of them and hold you tight in my arms. In a world full of choices, I kept choosing you. If dreaming is the only way to be with you then I should stop opening my eyes. Since I’m tired of watching you like Monalisa
