One Sided Love

-One Sided Love-


Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever miss me?
Do you still love me?

Or

Is this just a dream?
Is it just a fantasy?
What does it really mean?

And

Am I the only one who still feels this way?
Did your love for me just fly away?
What do you have to say?

I thought we’d have a chance
To share one last glance
Or maybe one last dance

You said you needed space
So we slowed the pace
Every time I close my eyes, I still see your face.

I never thought that this would be the end
Now I’m left with a broken heart to mend
I feel as though I’ve lost my best friend

I always thought someday things would get better
And that we would get back together

But how was I to know that our love would never be the same
And the feelings would go up in flames

Where there was light, there is now darkness
Where there was happiness, there is now sadness
Where there was fullness, there is now emptiness

Only you can take this pain and loneliness away
Only you can make this a brighter day
Only you can dry my tears away

Things couldn’t be clearer
It’s as though I’m looking in a mirror

Now I finally realize what I feel is not a two-sided love
But only a “One-Sided Love”

Encourage Yourself

Remember today to encourage yourself in the Lord

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalm 139.14)

Tests and Trials come to make you stronger. Remember that God has your back and all will be well...

This too shall pass

Be blessed

My African King

My African King
He is a stranger I saw from afar. A big powerful man who looked ready for war.
He came into my life and brought shining light. A light as brilliant as the stars above.
Who would have thought he would fill my heart with so much love?

He has dark chocolate skin, and eyes black as coal
Who would have thought he’d see deep into my soul?

He is a man pulled in many directions.
He is the man of my affections.

He is a man on a long journey trying to find his way.
The man I want by my side night and day.

He is a free spirit whose heights reach the moon.
He is a beautiful butterfly fresh from the cocoon.

He is the man God sent from Heaven’s gate.
The man who is my true soul mate.

He can be gentle as a lamb or strong as a bear.
Who would imagine the love that we’d share.
How can I show him that though we’re apart, I’ll always care?

Whether he is up or down, rich or poor, he will always be welcome at my door.

I want to be the Yin to his Yang.
I want to be his everything.
He is the man I call, “My African King.”

***(Dedicated to all of the African-American Kings past, present, and future)***

My purpose

I am a Work in progress who wants:
To tell someone about the goodness of God
To win souls to Christ
To help someone to trust in the Lord and turn to Him no matter what the circumstances
To be more like God
To be obedient and do His will
To build a fellowship with women after Gods heart
