Dear Friend,
I don't know what it is, but I love hearing you talk about her. Your voice is so calm, and I can tell your thoughts are getting there. I like to hear you talk because I can see how it relieves you to sort out your thoughts about her. To express your emotions that you keep inside all too often. I like to hear you talk because it makes me feel hopeful and it takes me away from my own crazy mind. I like to hear you talk because it fills my eyes with joyful tears. I know you can't always tell her these things. I know it's not always the right time. But I love how you accept that. I love that you just wait for the perfect moment to remind her of how you adore her. The way you pursue her amazes me. The way you take the time to learn about every detail possible. "She's intricate. It's terribly hard," you say. And I understand. I've felt that way and I can see it in your eyes how much you desire to understand her, grow to love her more. (Although we don't use that word yet). "She's intricate, but it's fun." You just really enjoy her. The complications seem to fade into the background as you focus on her beauty, on how intriguing she is, on the way God has crafted her. "She's so beautiful," you express as you smile. I can't help but laugh with excitement at the way you can't help but tell me. I only hope she knows. I only hope that she can one day hear you say this and be okay with it melting her heart. I hope you know how much I admire you for the way you think, the way you pursue her, the way you are willing to overcome obstacles and get past the confusion just so you can enjoy her as much as possible, just so you can see her for who God created her to be, just so you can love her as selflessly, patiently, genuinely as possible. Your gentleness and drive, your authenticity and ability and confidence to express your emotions brings me great delight. Thank you for thinking so deeply. Thank you for accepting challenges that come your way. Thank you for loving my friend. Above everything, thank you for giving your heart to God for Him to hold dearly and mold to His own. Your conversation is encouraging and it brings me great joy. I love hearing you say "Holding her hand is one of my favorite things in the world...Every time I see her, I can't help but think of how beautiful she is...She's so intricate." I pray that God keeps your heart in His hands and I pray that you are reminded of His faithfulness every day and His immense, indescribable love for you. He must be proud of the way you share His love.
