Just my Man

When my first marriage failed, I thought I will never love again. For three whole years I detach myself from the male specie. I only formed new friendships with them but never beyond. There were lots of broken souls like me scared to form new relationships because of the scars left behind. Then he came, he was not like any other men, he was shy and very conservative. He courted me when he was under the influence of liquor but when he is sober, he forgot what he was saying to me. I found him and still find him so simple, so fresh so conventional. He brings out the worst in me. He can be my worst critic, my enemy in one day and a lover the next day. He does not hide what is true for he does not believe in any form of mediocrity. He healed the broken soul in me and tried to bring my esteem back. I was an overweight 200 pounds woman when we met. I turned to food for gratification.
Now on our five years of togetherness ( my marriage lasted for two years). We have fought countless battles (my sickness and his sickness), cultural diversity, distance, status in life. I can't ask for more. God had a reason why He gave me this man when I was trying to put an end to my miserable and lonely life. God gave me the chance to love again and it was and will never be an easy task. I have found a new inspiration in him, someone who does not judge me for who I am not. Just like other couples we have our share of fights ranging from petty quarrels to serious ones but still love paved the way to let us understand and accept more of each other.

At this time I know TRUE LOVE exist in my heart.
