I didnt believe that love was for me, and it proved me wrong.

Love has never been smooth sailing for me.
I had breakups that were abrupt and unresolved that made me question if I was the cause of it.

So when I finally met someone whom I want to commit to, it did not come easy.
After my past experiences, I never thought I would find love.
I never thought love was something that would come effortlessly to me.
I never thought I would end up in a lasting relationship.
I never thought someone would accept me despite all of my imperfections.
I never thought a chance encounter would blossom into the love of a lifetime.
I never thought someone would love me enough to go on bended knee and ask me to marry him.
I never thought someone would painstakingly plan my dream proposal and give me the surprise of my life.
I never thought Im lucky enough to find someone who loves me back with the same intensity.
I never thought I would be marrying the love of my life.
Most of all, I never thought that love is so safe and ordinary.
It is calmness and stability to the erratic and chaos radiating within me.
It is steadfast and everlasting that makes me feel instantly at home.
Love isnt heated words and constant fights.
Love isnt shrinking myself and dulling my shine so that someone else can accept me.
Love doesnt come with prerequisites and requirements that deem if Im worthy or not.
Love isnt a roller-coaster ride that brings me through the euphoric high to the extreme low.
Love isnt confusion and mixed-signal that I have to waste precious time and effort trying to decipher.
Love isnt lying awake at night, worried that Im making a mistake.
Love isnt as elusive and painful as I once thought.
I didnt believe that love was for me, and it proved me wrong.
It came so unexpectedly, and I find myself trusting that this time, it would be different.
Somehow, Im ready to see where it will take me.
For when love arrives, you will be.
