It was two years in the making At least now there’s no faking I’m grateful God intervened My soul now feeling cleaned It took two to tango Outcome not pretty like Van Gogh Should have listened to the One upstairs He’s the only one that truly cares Appearance can be a trap If they talk…
I want to speak to you from the perspective of someone who is recently engaged; & I wonder if anyone reading this is a young adult or older and thinking they’ve missed the boat because they’re not married yet. My mid-20s & onwards have been some of the best years of my life. I became…
