She wants to be a size eight, but I love every part of her. I want Angel.And I’ll run to the ends of the earth just to be with her. But I realize, she might not want me. She’s always joking about my bad relationships, but I don’t see her offering herself to me.Something is stopping her, and it’s not the fact that we’ve known each other mostly all of our lives... moreShe wants to be a size eight, but I love every part of her. I want Angel.And I’ll run to the ends of the earth just to be with her. But I realize, she might not want me. She’s always joking about my bad relationships, but I don’t see her offering herself to me.Something is stopping her, and it’s not the fact that we’ve known each other mostly all of our lives.It’s the fact that she’s so caught up in this imaginary Instagram world of being with the perfect man, until she can’t see how bright her future would be with me.She doesn’t understand that sometimes pictures portray a fake world. What you see isn’t always what you get.Because some people would rather hide behind the lens which denotes happiness, instead of seeking their own journey to true love and commitment.And some people will stop at nothing to get that imaginary world that leads to pain and lies.All I need Angel to see is that for me, she’s Plenty. less

She wants more.I want her.But she’s fighting against us.She doesn’t realize that sometimes you have to lose, before you win.My mind has never been settled on one woman, but if that is what I need to change my course, I need one who’s willing to go the distance to help me make things happen.She is just what I need, but doesn’t think I’m the one because I remind her of a guy who hurt her the most... moreShe wants more.I want her.But she’s fighting against us.She doesn’t realize that sometimes you have to lose, before you win.My mind has never been settled on one woman, but if that is what I need to change my course, I need one who’s willing to go the distance to help me make things happen.She is just what I need, but doesn’t think I’m the one because I remind her of a guy who hurt her the most.Little does she know, I’m a real man and I might be a little street, but I’ve been through some things that qualifies me to love her like a real man should.I’m willing to do whatever I need to do. Even if it means going to church and sitting in her seat, Sunday after Sunday.But somehow.Someway. I’ll make her say, “I’m her DREAM come true.” less

She’s hurting and I feel her.Filled with tears, fears, and broken pieces of promises…I’ve decided to participate in her victory. It doesn’t take me long to discover, she doesn’t feel worthy of love.She doesn’t understand why this route was chosen as a piece of her journey, but all I know is if she gives me the opportunity, I’m going to love her like she needs to be love.She’s afraid.Afraid of moving forward.Afraid of failing.Afraid of hidden secrets being revealed... moreShe’s hurting and I feel her.Filled with tears, fears, and broken pieces of promises…I’ve decided to participate in her victory.

But how will she ever understand that love was meant to cover a multitude of faults.It was meant to be embraced and engaged in with one who is willing to look beyond your faults, and cater to your needs.Love was meant to heal, and with me, that’s exactly what I’m giving… A shoulder and heart to help her be HEALED. less

She’s hurting and I know her pain.I also know unforgiven deeds die hard.But I made a promise…

She’s been through a lot.And she’s holding on to as much,But I see her…The pain of her past.The fear of letting go and letting God,Has become a passing thought.And although I should be focusing on myself and my continued healing.I find myself in a place where she is always crossing my mind.I understand things now.… The woman I thought I loved, was only the bridge to take me from homelessness and addiction, to Jesus and freedom.And now that she’s gone, I can see clearer now... moreShe’s been through a lot.And she’s holding on to as much,But I see her…The pain of her past.The fear of letting go and letting God,Has become a passing thought.And although I should be focusing on myself and my continued healing.I find myself in a place where she is always crossing my mind.I understand things now.… The woman I thought I loved, was only the bridge to take me from homelessness and addiction, to Jesus and freedom.And now that she’s gone, I can see clearer now.Now I’m walking by faith.I have my mind made up.And I see what’s in front of me.She’s broken.She’s afraid but I won’t stop pursuing her.…She has POTENTIAL. less

She’s growing tired. And I really can’t blame her. It’s hard being a first lady when you often feel like the least important… Then of all the stupid things I could do,I did the most detestable.I thought she forgave me.Thought our lives were moving forward.The church is growing and I’m marrying people like crazy.But in the midst of all the love, my wife is suffering in silence.I’ve been begging behind the scenes,Because at the end of the day, it’s what we are supposed to do... moreShe’s growing tired.

Right?Yet, she’s more determined to leave than she’s ever been before.It’s time for me—the pastor, to go get the counseling I need.So I can continue to be the example that I want to be for the parishioners.But even more than that, to persuade my wife to please STAY. less
