Love Poem: Girly Waffling

Girly Waffling

I have wondered at what completeness truly is....
What would “walking on hot coals” actually feel like?
Would completeness really involve that?
And if it did, could I actually do it?

I have wondered at wholeness....
Would I recognise it?
Doubted it could be mine.
Surely I would know?

I have wondered at happiness....
Pondered over its everlasting-ness.
Experienced so much, lost so much.
Had to pinch myself to check it’s real.

I have wondered at undying love....
Whether it was something I could experience?
Believing that it can never die.
A dream to reality, shocked by its intensity.

I have wondered at trust....
Dare I dip a toe in, after bitter experiences?
Leave myself open and venerable?
Then without realising it I find I already do.

I have wondered at finding “the one”...
Whether I would recognise him.
Become the one for someone too.
And you are here, my world is shining.

I have wondered at feeling loved....
Totally without restrictions or reservations.
Envied the mere thought and imagined it.
Now I thank you for being you, and loving me.
