Has it really only been 7 years? Because it seems like it was a lifetime ago.
No, it couldn't possibly have already been that long. But, it also it feel so recent.
7 years next week, the day after Thanksgiving actually, will be the anniversary of when I knew that the Rooster loved me the way I loved him.
7 years...
...since I found out that there would be no more first dates.
...since my heart felt whole. Really, really whole.
...since I knew, that I knew, that I knew what truly being in love felt like.
...since I knew what being in loved back felt like.
...since I knew I was the most beautiful girl to the only person I wanted to feel that way about me.
...since I first tried on his last name.
...since I pictured the precious babies that would be part of our lives one day.
...since I told him I cared deeply for him and his reply to me was that he more than cared about me, but that he loved me and knew that he would always love me.
7 years...
...and the dates aren't as frequent
...but, the wholeness of my heart has grown as our love has grown into a deeper, stronger, more mature love
...and my confidence in knowing, that I know, that I know, that I know I am still in love with him
...is equal to my confidence of knowing that he is still in love with me
...and I know he still thinks I'm the prettiest girl he knows because he tells me frequently. Even when I don't agree. Especially when I don't agree.
...and that last name is now mine.
...as well as our two precious babies'.
...and I know that the promise he made me 7 years ago that he is going to love me always is a promise he's keeping.
