the desire for your embrace is so great it makes my eyes flood. i'm thankful for this life, but i'd rather be with you. i read this book entitled Twelve Extraordinary Women and i thought i found myself on the pages of that book, only my name was different.
she watched him slowly slip away from her world. sorrow engulfed her when she realized he's gone. she longed for his presence. she yearned for his love. when she finally saw him she was overjoyed. she wanted to put her arms around the only man who truly loved her. she wanted to throw herself at his feet and hold on to him forever.
if i could, i would hug him too. if i could, i would let my forehead kiss his feet and cry and cry and cry. i would cry all the words i couldn't say and i know he will understand. there's no adjective that can explain how much i'm looking forward to being with him. years from now before my body finally rests before my eyes bid the world goodbye, before my lungs give back to the world the borrowed breaths, i'll smile and think about him. then my heart will give one last powerful beat and i'll be where he will wipe every tear from my eyes. where there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain (rev 21:4). but as for now, i will hold on to that hope, and i will continue to fight the good fight in living for my God.
