Dream House

Dream House

The fog has lifted the rain has stopped
and I can hear the faint sounds of the songbirds
It is daybreak and it's already brilliantly bright.
A cheerful sunrise on the horizon
I woke up alone but for the first time in years, truly knowing
I am not lonely anymore
You have my heart and I will give it
freely and openly this time around.
I trust you.

I can't wait to see you tonight.
To come home to a happy and loving family.
A cookout on the grill and kids playing in the yard.
How wonderful.
I love this life.
I don't feel I deserve this.
I don't deserve you either.
I haven't done enough to be this blessed and loved so completely.

Life is good. It is becoming great.
I get to join you in this process.
We are rebuilding your castle together.
We will take more care of it this time.
The foundation is being built.
Strong like stone, weathered by the storms.

I want this life. I want you.
I want the sounds of joy and laughter again.
Not mocking sarcastic laughter at anothers misfortunes…
but genuine joy
For a life well lived and the hard work it has taken to keep it up.

I love you.
I love what you represent in my life.
Rebuilding. Renewal. Redemption and recovery.
You are my second chance.
Not many get this.
I won't take it for granted like I have in the past.

Thank you for loving me. I thank god for you every day.
