you are so completely kindhearted that it amazes me sometimes. your integrity is always visible.
i love how we find the most randomly beautiful and perfect places and moments together.
i feel so safe with you.
you coloring with me in the middle of a restaurant full of practical and boring adults was a ridiculously lovely thing to me.
i’m sorry i ruined you trying to show me your special place on the roof because i was terrified of the stairs up to it. ;)
i like sitting in the middle of the street with you.
i like feeling like an indie kid with you, and at the same time, a grandma.
you writing to my father was one of the most wonderful things anyone has ever done for me.
i like how you tell me my eyes are pretty, and how the first time you told me i was beautiful was after you saw me praying.
i want to dance with you sometime.
i know this is sappy, and ruins my mysterious shyness, but it’s all quite true.
i am so blessed by God to know you.
i’ve been resisting the urge to reblog this, but you and i both know how subtlety and mystery are not my strongest traits. i am so undeserving and so blessed and so thankful and that doesn’t even begin to scratch the tip of the proverbial iceberg (rather, i’m hovering above the water with binoculars looking at the aforementioned iceberg). God is so good, and He’s created beauty out of ashes like i never would have dreamed. ashes of the embers of change, ashes of mistakes, ashes of a burnt-up and now consumed former identity of depression and denied sonship. You’re using life—blessings and curses both—to show and guide me towards the man You want be to be, the man i’ve desired to be for so long. and You’ve delivered this indescribable blessing into my hands that shows me Your love and care and perfect knowledge of the desires of Your kids’ hearts.
abigail, i can’t tell you how much reading this over makes me light up. not only in the sense of the romantic butterflies, but in something that we both have endeavoured to explain and have constantly come up short. it’s a blessing straight from the Lord, and it’s so special. i’m so blessed to even share in life and memory and joy with you, and am all the more blessed to be yours as both a friend and a boyfriend. boomshakalaka.
