For Butterflies and Sparkles

I remember, sitting across from you, coffee in our hands and a dancing in your eyes.

We would start off and you would take my hand.

Be willing to wait, you would say.

We would dream about your upcoming wedding, the part I would play.

And in the deepest places of my heart, I would dream too.

For the day, for the guy I will hopefully someday meet.

Find a man, not a boy, a man who will grow you closer to Christ, you would say.

I've never let your words go.

I squeeze your hand, and take your words deeply into my soul.

I will continue to wait in anticipation, and allow myself to be excited for my future.

For butterflies and one who cares.

I sip my coffee and my eyes sparkle.

Oh, how much He must have in store for me.
