The Perfect Love



Nothing is perfect {except God}
But I wanted us to be perfect.

Last night, he said "Anya, I love you".

I've waited so long to hear those words.

But now that he has said them I am in tears.

Tears of relief and tears of confusion.

What does this mean for us, how long has he known that he loved me? why didn't he say it earlier?

I told him I loved him ages ago....I always knew it. Telling him made me vulnerable. So I always felt like I got the short end of the stick in our relationship. Now, we are both vulnerable. Where do we go from here?

He thinks I need someone better than him. Why does everyone keep saying that?! Can't I freely choose to love whomever I want? What exactly is wrong with him (or his past) that makes him think we can't be perfect? I have the right to love him...

I know we've had a dramatic history and so many things have been said (or left unsaid). But the future can be better. We can create something perfect.

I am both dazed and confused. I want to believe in this power of love (...young love while our spirits thrive), but I don't want to regret my decision 5-10 years from now, heck - in 20 years I want to still believe in this same power of love (...young love while our spirits are thriving).

He says that he wants me to be happy however I can. I say in my mind "I want to be happy with you".

But no matter how much I plead, there is no answer in my mind's eye. I've asked God several times for direction, for intervention, for anything. I need a sign. So far, nothing spectacular has crossed my mind's eye. I'm still waiting...

I want us to be perfect (whether we remain together or not...)


Teary-eyed,

Anya.......x

"I told him I loved him ages ago....I always knew it. Telling him made me vulnerable. So I always felt like I got the short end of the stick in our relationship."----God I've been there, I felt silly after i said it too cuz he didnt say it back, when he finally did i was happy but confused, why did it take him so long.

i wrote a long comment, damn blogger!aagh

anyways, jst take it easy darlin. since he said in his own time, its because he meant it not because you pushed him.

my advise for you is to just love in the moment, without regrets. If you're not sure of your future together, at least be sure of now and make the best of it. If he's still with you, then its a good sign. Relax and let fate take its course

sry for the long comment... hehe:)

saying "I love you" to someone esp when they dont say it back might make one feel vulnerable, but i feel you should feel free and relieved instead....I know, better said than done.
Love for the moment, so u dont regret it later!

my sista, take it easy. Everything gets better with time. Sounds like a cliche but it is true.

It takes a lot to be vulnerable...but hey to quote Kanye "keep your love lockdown...you lose". lol. Just go with the flow, dont stress over things or expect them 2 b perfect cuz they wont be. Glad you updated-finally! Also glad you are loving love.
