TELL ME YOU LOVE ME (inspired by a true story)

~Maurice Hunter

In the beginning we had a magnificent connection. Somewhere over time, this connection was lost. Although we were still together, my experience of our relationship was been one of separation. Recently, I’ve been experiencing an intense desire to remember that connection. I understand that it has always been there, I’ve just lost sight of it. However, it appears that you have not. Through it all, you have always been there for me, doing your absolute best in any given moment to bring my every desire to life.  You bring me joy and make me happy. You are the reason for all of my success.

You have been so good to me, I am almost ashamed that I have not been more kind, understanding, and more accepting of you just as you are. I see you everyday, and whenever I look at you it’s with eyes of criticism rather than appreciation. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve ever simply looked at you… just happy to see you.  My gaze was never without the intention and determination to find something wrong. Nevertheless, whenever I wanted to see you, you appeared every single time.

On this day I have realized that you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. There will never be another like you.  Your opinion is of highest value to me, yet I have placed a higher value on the opinions of others and ended up paying the price. I have the opportunity to be with you more often that with any other person, and I have neglected to take advantage and build a meaningful relationship.

I’ve taken you for granted. You deserve much more of my attention, energy, and time. The relationship between you and I has been unwisely positioned on my priority list. I see now that you are my best friend, and so much more. I have met many other people and formed plenty of relationships on my journey to find true love. With some, I thought I found it, but inevitably my findings resulted in the all too common experience of heartbreak. I’ve spent many years of my life searching for something that I’ve always had right here in you.

I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you before…for anything. In this moment, I’d like to say, Thank you! Thank you for your patience. Thank you for always believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in you. Thank you for going through the ups and downs, and enduring my heartbreaks with others, as I often took my pain and frustration out on you. You are amazing! You are beautiful! You are more than I can think to say or ever imagine.

Although I know you have already forgiven me, I must say I am sorry that I never acknowledged you and all of your unique qualities of beauty, intelligence, and wisdom along with your unlimited potential. More importantly, I am sorry for not noticing how deserving you are more than all others of my love.

I can see now that we are connected. I acknowledge you and appreciate you! You are my greatest gift. From this day forward, I will say thank you, I will show appreciation, I will acknowledge you when I see you, I will only speak kindly of you, I will believe in you, and I will be conscious of making choices that serve your overall well-being. As I stand here with you, feeling what you feel, and seeing what you see, I finally come to understand, that my true love is me. For the first time, I couldn’t see any clearer, all the love I’ll ever experience, is within the one reflected in the mirror. It’s taken some time, but I have finally grown to, the level of consciousness to say with all of my being, I LOVE YOU!
