Dating : Letters to My Husband

Dear you,

When you ask what I want from love

How do I explain something I’ve never seen?

My father never showed me

The only “love” I’ve ever known

Had me feeling trapped or abused

And now I’m standing in front of you

Trying to hide these wounds

on my heart & soul

Or maybe they’re scars now…

Have I healed yet?

I can’t tell

Because you got me experiencing

the sweetest thing I’ve ever known

& something way too close too home

It’s like

You’re delivery is similar

but your intention isn’t?

How does that work?

How can I tell?

That you are different from them

That this love is different from that hate

& how this women isn’t that girl

Please take the time to show me

What real love looks like
