Before I knew you

To whom it may concern,

I am unaware of your name, sir.
Oblivious to the shape of your eyes,
your favorite color, what makes you laugh.
I am clueless as to your favorite vacation spot,
your weird habits, or any of your flaws, but listen.
I am totally and completely aware of the fact that I love you.

It may seem silly, but I already pray for you. I ask God daily
to keep you safe, healthy, and draw you closer to Him.
I'm already afraid of losing you so I address God
with my concerns and ask that while you're
searching for me, you'll be soul searching
for yourself, like I'm doing too.

That way when our gazes meet,
we'll know who we are and we'll be
ready to give our all to one another. Ready
to surrender up hearts and love each other with
the kind of strength that weapons carry. The kind
of power that the Almighty delivers. Viciously devoted.

I'm not quite certain where you live, sir. However, I do
know that wherever you are is where my home is.
I long for you and reach for you and when I feel
your grasp, I'll tie myself to you like a knot on a
rope because I'll never wish to untangle from
your pull. Continuously pull me closer, love.

Some day you'll want to know all about
me. You'll ask what my hobbies are and what
my skills may be. I can't wait to tell you that, my
talent is loving you. I was born to do so. This smile
was made to be handed to you. I won't ever forget this
journey of looking for you, but when you finally read this

realize, I loved you before I knew you.
