Babe.

I was beginning to accept that, that was all I deserved. A man of already given away promises & pieces of himself. I believed that I was already damaged & didn't deserve more than what was being offered before me, I was fearful that i wasn't worthy of what i once was. That what was standing before me today was as good as it was ever going to be, but then I saw it. --I saw the white dress, the man standing up at the alter, & as I was clinging onto my dad's arm one last time, before he gave his youngest daughter away, I was reminded of the long sleepless nights of praying for him & asking God to prepare his heart for the past regrets & failures that would one day await him before he took me as his bride. & it was on that day that i realized it was all worth it. Every day that I spent alone while seeing the world around me find their better half, I knew it was worth it. 

...he was worth it.

&&, he saw my worth, behind the damaged pieces & broken parts he saw the worth. He believed in looking past the outer appearance & desired to know the heart of me. More than anything, he stayed. He stayed through all the tears & 'I'm sorrys' I had to offer & asked to stay. I asked why he would want damaged pieces when he was worthy of so much more greatness & he replied with...."because that wouldn't be you." 

It was then that I saw it too. I saw the staines begin to be wiped away & a whole new journey began for me. 

...I may not know this man yet but, i pray for you every night, babe.
