Surprise.
It is always a surprise to me to discover she still loves me.
Every day I wonder, "Will today be the day she stops? Will today be the day I cross over the line? Will today be the day she learns that one thing to make her stop?"
I know so much about myself and what goes through my mind, it seems incredible that she could love me.
So every time I see it, I am surprised. And joyous.
Does she say it? Not usually; at least not with direct words.
Mostly it's a gesture, a phrase, a confidence shared. It is in the trust I am given.
You'd think by now, I would just accept it as a given. The sun will rise, I will be loved. But I expect neither as a right. Every day, both are gifts I can't earn.
Accept the gifts you are given today.
Love surprises.
