Big Heart

Today I felt something I've never felt before.

My heart has been through more than any one person could ever understand. In the recent past my heart has felt incredibly small, but I have found a heart that makes mine grow every single day. I am learning and growing in every waking moment I spend with this man. His heart is tender and tough, protected and vulnerable, guarded and displayed, all at the same time. I admire him for so many reasons. He reminds me that it IS possible to be happy while taking life for what it is (day by day) as opposed to looking ahead and searching for something more. Today I discovered that every so often when he presses his lips against mine and really feels it in his heart, I feel it so overwhelmingly in my heart that my eyebrows wrinkle just a tiny bit until the kiss is over. I feel so much at one time that it's almost painful, in a good way. When my heart feels full, it hurts. I don't know how to put this feeling into words because it's not necessarily pain, but it's something stronger than anything I've felt or seen. As I lay in the arms of this man who brings me pink roses just because, I feel pure luck.

Everything DOES happen for a reason...this man and what he makes me feel, what he teaches me, and does for me, is proof. I am grateful for the things I am feeling.

When I feel love, I love unconditionally.
