The Best Mistake

CATEGORY

first love

I jumped headfirst into this situation with very little faith.

Carried hurt in my front left pocket and my wallet in my right.

If I had known what I was going to encounter, I probably would have still walked into the situation blindly.

There were no signs, just symptoms writings with no stories to tell a tale that had an ending that could not be deciphered.

This is the reason why I could not recognize love.

I gave you no room to plant your seeds.

Made up my mind that you too would build me up high enough just so you could let me fall.

You proved to me that with just one rock my glass house could fall.

Provided me with a broom so I could sweep the broken pieces off to the side.

Prove to me that love is really on our side.

And I will try my best not to cry…I promise not to cry.

I have never been good at keeping my promises.

So of course, my tears will fall upon your shoulders as I break into pieces.

And reveal my barren land’s.

Surely God could find mercy upon a sinner who has clearly lost his way.

And provide me peace while I attempt to navigate through this storm.

You look through me.

Love my worse as well as my great

Provide refuge during the times when I have no more energy to shield myself from myself

You loved me during the times when I no longer loved myself.

Guided me out of the darkness just to prove to me that I was never blind.

Picked up peace and placed it within my hands.

Draped love over my body and told me not to worry.

Nourished my body through spoken words.

And introduced me to some sort of love that I still to this day do not fully understand.

I became a believer.

Yearned for your presence each time I could no longer feel you near

I am an addict by choice,

And not because of unfortunate circumstances

I may not ever understand what I have done to deserve this sort of love.

But what I do know is that this was the best mistake I have ever made.
