Didn't realize how
Much of my identity
Was wrapped up
In him.
He affirmed me,
Cherished me, despite
My appearance.
I found a safe haven in
His arms when I was
Troubled
Or just needed a
Hug.
I thought in terms of
"We," not "me."
Next to Jesus, I had the
Top spot in his
Heart.
It's one of the hardest
Things
I face now,
To see couples holding
Hands,
Or staring into each other's
Eyes across a table
At a café, or
Simply riding side by
Side in a car, and to
Realize I am no longer
Number one to
Anybody.
