435. stay

You came like a sudden burst of light that shone so bright; it blinded me, petrified me. I didn't have time to prepare —to present only the best of me, to make the best impression so that you wouldn't run away. You came and saw the truth, imperfect as I am. You came and saw all the reasons why you should go, and still, you stayed; you said you would never let go.

I thought maybe we would just be passer-bys in each other's lives, a momentary blip in this long expanse of time. Who knew you'd be my mainstay? So many ways the world could have come about, my mind still cannot fathom how we came to be here, together, at this point; but I no longer doubt that it was always going to be you and I. It was decreed that it would be you for me and I for you—this I know. And oh, you don't know how thankful I am that it was you He gave. No one else would do and I guess He knew because He gave me you.
