I spent my days, in anticipation of holding you, and my nights, lying in the dew covered grass, gazing up at the stars, and thinking, "Somewhere, out there, beneath that sky, sleeps a princess, MY princess...."
and I thought, MAYBE, just MAYBE, she is dreaming of me, too!
That always brought a smile to my face!! And after that, I would sigh deeply, and my eyes would close, and I could dream....

Back then, I was oh, so lonely, and nothing could fill the void that was in my heart. Now, I know why. That space was reserved for YOU, only you, and that is why NOTHING else, could ever fill it.
Back then, it was just the PROMISE of you, and everything about you, that kept me searching....
I dreamed of a woman that would love me for ME, and someone that I could tell all the secrets of my heart to. Someone that I could run and laugh with, someone to be friends with, that would never look down on me, with a frown of contempt.
But I didn't just DREAM, I prayed, and I prayed...
and every time that I asked Him, I tried to remember all the things that I thought I needed, and wanted, in a person that I was to spend the rest of my life with, and I made sure that He knew.....

But, thank God for unanswered prayers, for I could have prayed an enternity, and never been able to ask for what He gave me. Honey, when He gave me YOU, he gave me more than I ever imagined, I could have...
There are so many things that I missed in my prayers, that HE thought of....
So many things that I would have been missing out on.....

You see, I could NEVER have asked for a woman,
